u need seperate locks...small one since the hole is tiny..guess what u should check it out first and later ask ur parents to get it for you from the nearby shops

My parents will be accompanying me during registration, so I guess they can take a look at the room that I'll be placed in, right? Within that day they can go out of the university and still come back right? I mean if I want a padlock and I ask them to get one for me. And to confirm, there's a hole for us to insert a padlock in on the wardrobe right?

anyone noe wat's the minimum requirement for engineering??

From what I heard, a C+ in STPM Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Not so sure, though.

As said, the almari and drawer does have a place where you can lock it with a manga, but the manga you have to buy on your own. It is fairly small though. About the size of a pen maybe? Not exactly big.

For anyone bringing your laptop, make sure you have those laptop locks/chains. There has been many cases of missing laptop and risking of bringing your laptop without one is not advisable. But the bad thing is, on your table, there won't be any holes to anchor your laptop. My advice is although it is a vandalism of university's property, make a hole under the table. The back board is just plywood. Easy to make a hole. There's a solid wood in the middle so make two holes on each side. Some of you might notice some tables already have hole but usually there's only one. I know I made one on a few tables while I was still in Amanah. Easier to handle wires since I placed my CPU on the floor and there aren't exactly any hole to let through the wires. Can be very messy and annoying without the holes. But seriously, it is vandalism. So do it on your own risk.

Wow, that's good to know. But is it safe to leave my laptop in a locked wardrobe when I'm away?

Did any of you seniors bring your laptop during orientation? My laptop and iPod are my babies, I'm worried they'll go missing if I bring them with me during orientation.

if you register on saturday you're generally free the whole day, can do what you want. i think meals will be provided, but it's up to you to stay or go out with your parents. if not mistaken the orientation only starts on sunday afternoon.

laptop i'm not so sure, but ipod you're definately gonna bring with you all day rite? so that shouldn't be much of a worry
*
The details they gave me is to register on Sunday from 8.30-10.30a.m. I'm going to register on Sunday. I'll be assigned a room before the orientation, right?

QUOTE(exentric_nova @ Jun 22 2009, 04:08 PM)
iPod you can just bring it along. But do take care of it well. Don't wanna drop it anywhere right.

Laptop is really a risky business. You can lock em in your wardrobe but locks that small is not that hard to break.

I'm not trying to psych you, but laptop is just plain dangerous to bring. I did brought it last semester, but I stayed in Cendi and always locked my room whenever I'm out. I also used those laptop lock and anchor it to my table/bed.

So until you befriend your roommate well and able to trust him, there's always a risk. Best is to be prepared. Lock your drawer and wardrobe. Make sure to use those laptop locks as well. Anchor it like I've said previously. And most important, do keep your room locked all the time if there's no one in that room. Lock it even if there's other people in the house (housemates).
*
I think I should really buy a laptop lock or two then. Oh, the room doors come with built-in locks or we have to buy our own padlocks for room doors?

Thanks for your replies biggrin.gif

the rooms come with locks. no padlocks, they're just normal door locks.

Thank you for the information. I do hope my future roommate will be a good one.

Added on June 22, 2009, 9:35 pmowh about laptop. do not bring it during orientation week! one of uniten officer said that most of new student do outdoor activities! so most of the time we will not be in our room. so make our laptop is an easier target! and believe me you cant find any suspect because you dont have any idea who steal it. because you're NEW! ( sorry abaut grammar)

But but I live in Sitiawan, Perak. Not really practical to go back again after orientation to get my laptop. Any of the newbies bringing your laptops with you during orientation?

I'm also taking degree in EEE. Good luck biggrin.gif
During my orientation time, i see that a lot of students go back after the orientation end..including me tongue.gif
Most of them are team building activities, and some speeches or motivational talks, then some training to guide you through your uni life.
such as counting your cgpa etc etc.

Means you're my senior! How's E&E? After orientation there are 2 days of holidays right? Will we be applying for PTPTN during orientation?

haha..E&E is quite tough, coz you have to know lots of physics and maths. a lot others will also tell you that it's the toughest among all the engineering courses here. but it's fun though, especially the labs, get to play with electronic parts laugh.gif

yeah you'll have the weekend to yourself. about the ptptn thing i'm not very sure, but during my time they had an officer coming to give a speech/talk on scholarships and loans. that's all. my ptptn was done much later.

Hey E&E sounds fun! I like Math and Physics so I'm looking forward to E&E. Thanks for the information biggrin.gif

QUOTE(ryo_ken @ Jun 23 2009, 11:26 AM)
There will be a session during orientation about all kind of loan and how to apply it. So make sure you dont skip or sleep because this session is important if you want to apply for PTPTN or MARA. For YTN, you can go to their office beside the Admin building for any enquery.

Anyway good luck and have fun to all new foundies. If you spot any leng lui or hot chick among the new foundie, please report it here. Thanks for your cooperation.  whistling.gif

Thanks for the information. I do hope to get the loan as soon as possible.

I am doing EEE too..make sure you score well in ur quiz and test troughout the semester..first year first sem is nt that easy cuz you have the endure the 4 credit hours programming and 2 math subjects...if u didnt score well in ur programming..it will really pull down ur overall pointer!..math part DE is quite easy but calculus is all about geometry cuz its advanced calculus 3(cont from the foundation calculus)..there are some mathematical stuff like "sinh" which i didnt learn during my stpm days were taught to the students during foundation and we do lack in a lot of other mathematical term as well..and remember u can add and drop subjects during the add and drop week..if ur lecturers are nt the "good" ones u and try to change them..if u wanna know about the lecturers u should ask aroundlah..but for any math subjects try to avoid abu bakar aka dr burn! avoid mr suhaimi for cprog as well..opt for masyurah! trust me on suhaimi !!

orientation as usual you will be seperated in to smaller group for some group activities...there will be ice breaking activities,lectures from the finance,hep,safety,engineering dept and etc...the faci's will teach you on how to count the cgpa,gpa and the system of uniten,campus tour and etc..basically its very important for you to follow the orientation...after that its all about studying!!..cherish ur orientation days k tongue.gif
*
Wow. Hearing that is a bit scary. I only graduated with a B for Math and B- in Physics for STPM. I do hope I can do well in E&E *semangat membara-bara*

We can pick lecturers?

Thanks for the detailed information! biggrin.gif

Oh, do I need to bring my x-ray sheet to UNITEN, or just the medical report will do?

just the report!..u cant pick ur lecturers for the first sem but u can do it for the following semesters as u will be able to do ur own timetable then!
but u can drop and add another lecturer during the first sem provided ur timetable do not collide and there are empty places left in the class which u gonna enrol to..

most of the time it is 30% test 20% quiz and 50% finals...but usually finals is 50% or abovelar!

yeah u can transfer credits to uniten if the subjects taught are the same in both the uni :-)

QUOTE(exentric_nova @ Jun 23 2009, 12:14 PM)
By the way, its not choosing lecturer, more to choosing class (section). Some subject may only have 1 lecturer but many section. For that, well, live with it  rclxms.gif

I will bring it as i stay in kedah. It is inconvenient for me to get it from my hometown again but i will not bring it along during orientation and maybe will leave it in my uncle's house. But there are many advices that show laptop is not safety during orientation as there are many outdoor activities, it is impossible for u to bring it the whole time... biggrin.gif

Yeah. I'm discussing with my parents whether I can go home after orientation or have them go over to UNITEN again to pass me my laptop.

Very true.
By the way, with all the talks on the safety of your belongings during orientation, afterward you will have class. And all those stuff, laptop included, will be left in your room. So laptop owners, plan well. Very well on how to secure your laptops.

Yeah, I think I'll get one laptop lock very soon. I'm even thinking of bringing my laptop with me to classes. But honestly speaking, is is safe to lock my laptop in the wardrobe while I'm away?

I'm a new student in UNITEN, just went through my one-week orientation here (which was tiring but fun!). I'll be taking degree in Electric & Electronics Engineering starting Monday. I'd like to know if any of you have books to sell?

And I wonder, why can't I log in to Facebook and Blogger here in the apartment (Ilmu)?

Thanks

On Proxy Settings, did you make sure to tick 'Use this proxy server for all protocols'?

As far as I know, UNITEN does not block Blogger and facebook

Thanks so much. Can use FB now biggrin.gif UNITEN is a gorgeous place, by the way thumbup.gif

I have a question though. Before enrolling into UNITEN I was told to apply for PTPTN here. But from the talk during orientation I was told to apply online, as the PTPTN officers will only come to collect the supporting documents after an application is approved instead of helping us fill in forms to apply for PTPTN.

So I should apply online?

And I don't have a printer here in UNITEN. How can I print the documents after applying online?

yeah...do it online..later u can save the documents at the "dokumen pengesahan "section in the online ptptn thingy...they are in folders..u can save it in thumb drive and print it either the photostat shop in COE or the one nearby the library( both the shops are notoriously famous for breeding viruses in ur thumbdrive..pls scan the thumbdrive before using it in ur lappy or pc)

but we get our loans approved in a few weeks time...but the ptptn fellar came only 3 weeks b4 the finals....and the money was put into ur acc one week b4 finals only rclxub.gif ....luckily the finance department was kind enuff to unblock all the ptptn applicants from doing the registrations and etc :-)

so u got ur timetable??..pm if u wish to knw anything about the subjects and etc..i would try my best to help you as i suffered a lil in my first sem :-(
screw c++

Thanks for your help.

But another problem, when I came to the "Cetak" page I couldn't find any "Save" option in the page. I can't save it into my thumbdrive to be printed out soon. I'm thinking of going to the computer lab or something to use the computer there and then print from there. Is it possible?

Yes I got my timetable already. Thanks so much for your help biggrin.gif

Anyone? I want to print my PTPTN application details but I did not bring my printer to university with me. Is there any place in UNITEN where I can use the computer and print from there?

Also, does anyone have Thomas's Calculus for sale? Preferably second-hand. Need it very soon.

Thanks biggrin.gif
