Naming of area and roads
The town is divided into 10 areas; Pertanian, Penyiaran, Perubatan, Perdagangan, Kebangsaan, Kejayaan, Kebudayaan, Kemajuan, Kemuliaan, and Pendidikan. The word Jalan 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 Pendidikan zone where Aeon Taman Universiti and most shops are located.
