🛍️ Living Circle 3: The "Supply Hub" for Shopping & Entertainment – The Cheras/BMC Area
While the first two circles cover daily food and accommodation, university life wouldn't be complete without shopping, entertainment, and large-scale restocking!
UTAR Sg Long students frequently head to the nearby Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) area or the slightly further Cheras Selatan or Bandar Tun Hussein Onn region.
Why is this the Supply Hub?
Major Supermarkets/Shopping Centers: When you need to buy a week's worth of groceries, pick up household items, or catch a movie to relax, this is your go-to destination. For instance, the nearby AEON Cheras Selatan or BMC Mall, which is 10-15 minutes driving distance from UTAR Sungai Long.
Banking Services: Need to open an account, deposit money, or handle other financial matters? Major bank branches are typically centralized in this area, allowing you to get everything done in one trip. There are at least five banks near UTAR’s Sungai Long Campus: Affin Bank, Hong Leong Bank, Maybank, Public Bank and CIMB. All are located within a short distance of the compus, making them easily accessible for student and staff.
Casual Dining: Tired of the campus food? This area offers a wider variety of chain restaurants and cafes, perfect for group study sessions or weekend dinners with friends. The most famous commercial hub, named C180. C180 in Cheras is a commercial hub with a high concentration of food and beverage outlets, providing convenience for both residents and visitors.
💡 How Does UTAR Student Hostel/Room Rental Connect to This Circle?
Living well also means being able to get around easily! The advantage of staying at Hostel/Room is our strategic location. We help you avoid the main traffic congestion and provide quick access to the major roads. Whether you use Grab or drive/ride yourself, getting from the Hostel to these large shopping centres is very convenient, usually taking only 10–15 minutes!
