Le Tour de Kulliyyah of Dreams (K.O.D)

Students of Kulliyyah of Dentistry IIUM Kuantan are greatly blessed to be surrounded by top class facilities. Let us take a tour to see what kind of facilities that KOD brings to you, which you probably will experience during the first year of your study here!

When you enter the academic building, there will be a display of two important charters which are, the University’s Mission and Vision, and the Kulliyyah’s Raison d'Etre (Reason of Existence). Seems grand isn’t it?

As you will be carrying the university’s mission and vision, and also representing the kulliyyah’s reason of existence during your stay here, I think it is necessary to remember these charters by heart.

Luckily for us, there is a students’ lounge area at the corner inside the entrance. Comfy purple sofas and a nice coffee table are provided for us to relax before or after class. This is a great place to hang out with friends or having a discussion.

In the ground floor of academic building, there are five classrooms intended for each year, and also the auditorium for formal events. Restrooms are located at every level.

For the lecturers’ offices, they are situated on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd level of the building. There is a bridge that connects the academic building to the clinical building on the first level. Usually, lecturers that constantly have to go back and forth to the polyclinic are placed on the first floor.

The classroom include a projector, LCD screen, air-conditioner, and chairs for approximately 60 students. On the lecturer's table, there should be a PC set on it, where you can sort out powerpoint slides, and data related to your batch. 

The LCD screen is controlled automatically, you just need to press some buttons to move it up or down. So, the people who sit in the front should know the basic control in case the lecturers needs you to move it according to their needs. It looks very neat and modern but can be a throwback should there be an electricity black out hehe :P

Outside KOD: parking lots allocated for lecturers, staff, students and outpatients!

Hallway between lecturers' offices. 

It is easy to find your lecturers' office since they are labelled with their names. 

Answering nature's call should be at ease with KOD 5 stars rated toilet facilities. Can you guess which one is the restroom's door? 

The restroom is completely equipped with toilets, shower room, and a place to take ablution.
Well, I must say that the best thing to be a KOD students is to have your very own locker. Pretty much like the locker that you see in American movies. They came out in colourful colours. The admin will give the locker key during your first academic year. You can put your things such as labcoats (because I know a lot of you always forget to bring it, it's really convenient when you suddenly have suprise labs). But I think the locker is probably the most useful for clinical years where they can put any clinical related things inside.

The locker room is inside the changing room, a perfect place to take a break since it also has a prayer room, and restroom merged together.

Here are the noticeboards that you can see around KOD, be alert for any announcement they will put up. Class schedule (mind you it keeps changing every week), examination timetables, and also our results are posted here. 

A glance of our cafeteria looks like some kind of exclusive restaurant right. Here is the place where our students, lecturers, staff, and patients have their meal.

Our neat and cold laboratory. During first year, expect to go here a lot for practical labs and wax tooth carving. 

The place above is the guest lounge in admin's building. It's a nice and quite an inspiring place. Can you see inside the glass display? They are proof of  KOD's achievements. Well, even though we are quite young, 7 years and still counting, but we already made it this far :D  

This is the auditorium which can be converted into the examination hall. The place is huge as you can see inside the picture. And it can be divided into two compartments with its sound-proof cushioned divider.

This auditorium has been a legend which has witnessed a lot of memorable events. Annual role-plays, conferences, and many DENSS programmes are held here. Of course, it is now your turn, the newcomers, to be on stage!

Lastly, I still think that I haven't written enough as the things we have here is endless. So come here and experience it yourself okay! 

*P/s:This is only half of facilities in K.O.D, we will update other facilities in the next entry.Thank you ...Fell free to comment

We are waiting for you, 8th batch.
