Subang Jaya has also become known as a higher education hub, with several large colleges, particularly in the commercial district of SS15, namely [1] SEGi College, Cilantro Culinary Academy,Taylor's University College, INTI College, and [2]Metropolitan College. This has led to much of the housing in the area, especially in the Section SS 15 Subang Jaya, being converted to accommodation for students. Many education consultation firms such as IDP Education Australia, which offer advice regarding overseas educational opportunities.

Congestion and limited growing space have led to colleges moving their campuses away from SS15. Sunway University College, and Monash University Malaysia Campus were built situated in nearby Bandar Sunway. One of Subang Jaya's largest colleges, Taylor's University College, will move its campus away from congested, clogged SS15 to a purpose-built Lakeside Campus located in PJS5 in adjacent Bandar Sunway. SEGi College and Cilantro Culinary Academy was developed in UEP Subang Jaya instead of SS15. INTI College Subang Jaya and Metropolitan College, however, seem set to remain in SS15 with the former renovating its campus there.
