I live in Arau, Perlis for two years..
When I got the offer to pursue my studies in Arau 2 years ago, I cried so hard because I don't want to be in Arau as I wish I can continue my Bachelor in Shah Alam.
Don't get me wrong people, I didn't like Arau because at that time I think Arau is the place that do not have many facilities and I want to study in main campus not in branch campus. Arau does not have many fast food restaurants, do not have malls, do not have a cinema, bowling centre (I love bowling so much), and it is hard to find houses for rent and the cost for renting a house is so expensive .. (no..no.. i'm not that social to think only about entertainment, malls, etc)
For the first and second semester in Arau, I stayed at
rumah kedai (it is just a room actually not rumah! ;( ) the
rumah kedai is not that bad. The rooms were provided with double Decker bed, wifi, kitchen, tv complete with Astro and bathroom of course. I need to go to classes by UiTM bus and I need to follow the bus schedule. I was to wait for the bus early in the morning at 7.00 though my class start at 8.30am! In my second year in Arau, I moved to Taman Sri Wang (this time it is a reallll house). Me and another three classmates rented a corner lot house that cost us RM500 per month. Alhamdulillah, we were so lucky to get the partially furnish house because it was considered cheap compared to other house that cost up to RM1000 per month.
In Arau, you will hear people keep on complaining. "Arau is freaking hot" , "Arau ni panas la", "makanan dekat Arau x sedap la", "Arau ada cmart jerr", "Arau ni sikit2 banjir" and so on. But trust me, benda2 ni lah yang akan buat korang rindu Arau (like me now).

sekarang dah grad, Alhamdulillah, tetiba rindu Arau pulak.. banyak sangat memori dekat Arau. Kena tinggal dengan bus, air xde dekat rumah sewa so terpaksa pegi beli air mineral banyak2 dekat 7e, study dekat library last2 tertido dekat library, BBQ dekat Kuala Perlis, kereta rosak time nak ambik exam (ni paling gila!).. banyakkk lagi....
Untuk sesapa yang baru nak pegi study dekat Arau tu, good luck ok! haha.. pengalaman la yang akan mengajar kita erti kehidupan sebenar. insyaAllah ;)
Come on, Arau is not that bad.. ;p
