The town is divided into 10 areas; Pertanian (meaning agriculture), Penyiaran (broadcasting), Perubatan (medical), Perdagangan (trade), Kebangsaan (national), Kejayaan (success), Kebudayaan (Culture), Kemajuan (progress), Kemuliaan (honor), and Pendidikan (education). The word Jalan (street) is added in front of the area name and a number is added after the area name to complete the road system. For example, Jalan Kebangsaan 23. It was named so that all the areas that begin with the letter P are on the West side of the Jalan Pendidikan that is the main road running through Taman Universiti and areas that begin with the letter K on the east side of Jalan Pendidikan.
From this system, the heart of Taman Universiti is located at Kebangsaan zone where JUSCO Taman Universiti and most shops are located. View [www.taman-u.com] for taman Universiti Portal
