Where they are

Seksyen 16, Petaling Jaya.

All six houses are in an ordinary residential neighbourhood in Seksyen 16, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The three men's houses sit on the same street, within a few doors of each other. Two of the three women's houses are neighbours as well. You will not be out there on your own.

Why there is no address here

We publish the area, not the addresses. You get the full address in your offer letter once you have a place. That is deliberate. A public page listing which houses hold 14 women, with door numbers next to them, is not something we are willing to put on the internet.

Not published yet

We have not published a distance or travel time to campus, because we do not have a figure we trust. Rather than print a number that sends you to the wrong conclusion, we have left it out. Ask your house PIC after you check in.

You cannot pick your house.

JKRKS places you. What you can do is apply, and arrive at the same time as a friend if you want to be in the same house.
