    What Students Say About Taylor’s Residences

     

    Students from around the world, including Michelle from Indonesia, Aliyia from Sabah, and Sanjana from Canada, describe Taylor’s Residences as a place that makes settling into a new environment easier and more comfortable.

     

    With everything within walking distance, daily life becomes more convenient, especially for those adjusting to a new city. Residence tours and support systems help students get familiar with the campus and surroundings early, so they feel more confident navigating their new routine.

     

    Beyond convenience, the environment supports both study and well-being. Spaces like U Garden offer a calm setting to focus, while living in an international community allows students to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

     

    Through residence programmes, student-led initiatives, and regular support from staff, students develop life skills, build meaningful connections, and feel supported throughout their journey — making it a place many come to call their second home.

    Taylor’s Hostel initiated the LaunchPad project in 2019 with the aim to end menstruation poverty among female refugees living in Malaysia. LaunchPad is the first project in Malaysia to tackle period poverty among refugees through reusable sanitary pads & menstrual hygiene education. Presently, some 170,000 refugees and asylum seekers reside in Malaysia of which 32% are women (60,000 women refugees).
