No matter what course you are taking, you will have to learn Islamic subjects along with your course's subjects. They will also instill Islamic values in certain subjects. It is an Islamic university anyway. If you're not willing to take Islamic subjects, this is not a suitable place for you. But UIA is not all about Islamic stuff all the time. Not all UIA students will come out being an ustaz/ustazah. They also have arts center in the university called Citra. They have many arts performing clubs under Citra. Theatre club, dance club, and mostly music clubs. The environment is great. It is an environment you can never found once you graduate. The lecturers are great but some management office *inappropriate words*. Some rule *inappropriate words* too. Another thing about UIA is they just love to issue compound to students. Getting lost in UIA is a normal thing. You can just ask around. The food in UIA are mostly way cheaper than the food outside. And usually the cafes in brother's mahallah are better than the one in sister's mahallah. Hope this helps!
