A Clinical Nutritionist from Al-Sultan Abdullah Hospital UiTM Puncak Alam, Farah Farhana Hashim gave a talk on "Nutrition and Menstrual" on the second day to provide students with adequate knowledge on nutrition and menstruation.

Quantity Surveying student, Amirah Amriee, 22 said that this festival can help the students to release their stress, since they have to deal with assignment deadlines as it is almost the end of the semester.

Amira joined Uni-Verse Fest to have fun and release her stress.

“Apart from releasing stress, students can also get the chance to meet new people and make some new friends while enjoying the event.

“The most interesting attraction was the Uni-verse Fest where we can get the chance to enjoy performances from well-known artists such as Insomniacks, Alyph, Sonaone and many more,” Amira said.
