The Taylor’s College Subang Jaya campus is without a doubt a distinctive landmark in SS15 and will be sorely missed. But it simply cannot hold a candle to the Lakeside Campus that’s equipped with top-notch facilities.

For starters, if you’ve always kept a safe distance from the library (aka nerd central), you might want to rethink that. The campus boasts a 4-storey library, which is equipped with an abundance of print and media resources, a 24-hour study room, a mini theatre that screens documentaries and films and print-on-demand (POD) services where you can churn out those never-ending assignments at the touch of a button.

Plus, with an average of 33 computers in each of their computer and Mac labs, you’ll never have to worry about those long waiting lines again.

But that’s not all! Each faculty has a buffet of industry-standard facilities for an enhanced learning experience. Get a glimpse of what it’s like to produce a recording at the Audio Recording Studio, or see how the hospitality and culinary students take on the task of serving customers at the 9 (yes, nine!) on-campus training restaurants.

With all these amazing features, it’s no wonder that the Lakeside Campus was ranked the top university campus in Malaysia by international students.
