Kuala Lumpur: your home base
Most of our partner universities sit in or around Kuala Lumpur, so it'll likely be your base for the next few years. Between the Petronas Towers, a genuinely multicultural food scene, and an efficient LRT/MRT network, it's an easy city to settle into as a student.
Penang: a weekend food trip
A short domestic flight or a scenic drive up the coast gets you to George Town, Penang's UNESCO World Heritage old quarter, known for hawker food and street art. It's a popular weekend trip once assignments ease up.
Langkawi: semester-break islands
When you've got a longer break, Langkawi's duty-free shopping and beaches make for an easy, affordable getaway — a short flight from KL and popular with students travelling on a budget.
