    Cyber Jaya was established 3 years ago as the country leading university in electrical engineering, IT, creative multimedia and management. It's about 40 Km away from KL and is situated near the Malaysia future capital "Putra Jaya" which is under construction. Today around 3000 students study in this university. Most of the the faculties give only bachelor degrees but the offered courses are numerous and very up to date. For example faculty of IT offers courses such as Multimedia Technology Management, Multimedia Systems, Software and Animation and Software Engineering and Games Design. Faculty of management offers courses such as Multimedia Marketing, Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and so on. 

    Mr. Afshari's son, Mohammad has begun studying electronics engineering majoring in computers in Cyber Jaya since last December. As it's a private university, he pays around 5000 US $ per year for tuition, accommodation  and beverage fees. Me along with Mr. Afshari and his other son ,Hossein, had a visit to this university on 4/April/2001. We reached there after 45 min. of driving at 7 PM . It was very humid then due to recent rain falls.

    Students live in buildings called hostill. There's a cafeteria on the ground floor of most of the hostills which offer Malaysian foods and sandwiches. Mohammad says that Malaysian foods are too spicy and really uneatable. Students have a freelance life there but as you can see on the bulletin board there are some modest codes which they should follow.
