UCSI University: Experience As An International Student

Image
I was a young South African girl who had never heard of UCSI University before I came to study in Malaysia. The only University I knew of was Limkokwing University because they have many branches in Africa. I asked my agent to help me get a place at Limkokwing University but he recommended USCI University for me since it was highly ranked. At the time of me applying to UCSI University, it was very hard for me to get information about the school from its website. What startled me, when it came to the schools website was the fact that there were no Africans as top students. I just brushed it off and thought perhaps the school didn't have much Africans at the time. I also did not know anyone in Malaysia who would actually inform me about the best schools in Malaysia.

"Are you a Christian?" Many christians have asked me this question. "Joy, are you a Christian?" That question used to annoy me a lot because it made me feel like i was doing something wrong in my life though at that time i would say yes. And now, for me, at this stage in my life its no unfortunately. It sucks right? I know....i know. But truth be told, Christianity was not meant to be a religion, it was meant to be a relationship with God. But with the "christians" of today, its sort of like a religion. It has become so bad that i feel some churches are beginning to misinterpret the bible sometimes. A pastor would quote something from the bible and explain it the way the world sees it. Not realizing that the world is an enemy of God! And then there's whole thing of not allowing prostitutes of coming to church yet Jesus accepted a prostitute over a religious man(a righteous man who sinned less!). Like there is literally a specific dress code for church...
