This paper attempts to study on various colleges’ student activities, via a visiting survey deriving observation through informal interview and questionnaire collection in Oxford University. Field research was conducted in St. Cross College, Christ Church College, Jesus College, Nuffield College, Somerville College and St. Anthony’s College during the 15 days visit. With the increasing awareness on the goal of Centre for Students Advancement, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) to develop and produce wholesome graduates physically, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually balanced and are able to master knowledge, we have designed the research framework for the visit according to the objectives set by the university with the theme “Appreciating Similarities, Embracing Differences”. From the survey, we analyze what is the best practice among the colleges. The analysis will mainly depend on the outcome of what the administrator, tutor and student perceive towards the college student activities. This paper discusses the college administration from different point of view, illustrates the needs of comparison for betterment from different perspective. A goal of this research was to introduce a more objective methodology focusing on the wellness of the residential college student activities management system as an alternative and more sustainable approach for benchmarking analysis. The main purpose of this program is to produce graduates who will accept lifelong learning and knowledge accumulation, who are able to adapt to the exigencies of life in various contexts through holistic learning, who are competitive as well as marketable both locally and in the internationally. The group consists of 3 bright students. This project is completely funded and sponsored by the Centre for Students Advancement of UKM.
