Misread. Mislead?

I may be one of the few (or the only one with no life) who ever visited my university's Malaysian made website. And I noticed a few disparity between the university currently and the university that is depicted in the website.

  1. Some of the information and pictures in the gallery are outdated.
  2. Wrong, misleading information. For instance:
That is NOT Hostel N5. THAT is an abandoned supposed stomatology building adjacent to the university. The hostel doesn't look anything like that. They make it look like it's Hilton hotel. Big laugh.

From my perspective, the building has potential. The building looks complete, but it hasn't been used once in the past 5 years I've stayed here. Probably longer. I don't understand why they abandoned the project. I would loved it if is one of the medical faculty's academic buildings. It has more space than the current university is providing for the growing numbers of students. Lack of fundings, perhaps?

I found this picture in the gallery. This picture is 4 ½ years old back when I was still in preparatory faculty. We had a new students get together in a new Turkish restaurant.

I was surprised to see this picture with familiar faces.
So I thought I would like to point them out. Perez Hilton style.
I'm somewhere in the far back. Ha Ha.

The caption read "Students at cafeteria". It is me or it's like they're implying that the cafeteria is owned by the university?

Is this a perfect strategy to lure new students by giving them misleading (albeit outdated) information?

Get the facts right. The whole visit through the website is a horrible, horrible experience which leaves a permanent cringe-stamp on my face.

It's a classic strategy for any school. What matters is that they get the money.

And you can't help, when watching that you find it funny. But it's very true.
