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. During orientation, maybe you will feel its really terrible and wanna run from it. Trust me after you're done with it, you gonna miss those tiring but quite fun days with your fasi and new friends. Yes its really TIRING! So make sure you have enough sleep because you dont want to wake up late. I have to run around apartment for few rounds last time. By the way, if you spot any leng lui or hot chick among the new foundie, please report it here. Thanks for your cooperation.

If any of you taking Computer Sciene, you can contact me if got any question. I also got some text book if you want to buy especially if you want save money buying new expensive text book. Last time i told my mom im going to buy new text books and she gave around 300 bucks but i just spend around 100 because i bought second hand books. Be smart and you can belanja your friends to go yamcha rather than spending for new text book. Hahaha.

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

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

btw, if i dowan to continue my study in uthm, and wan to continue my civil engineering in unite, can i apply for credit transfer?

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!

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 :-)

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

Hey,just wondering...my bro taking YTN loan and he`s going to graduate next year around July...he`s taking Finance and MArketing...I wanted to apply YTN also but the terms there stated it`s not possible to have 2 same person from 1 family to apply YTN at the same time...sigh..so, is there any way i can apply YTN?or really cant do anything?

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...

Nope. Even I tried applied when brother already having it. I didn't get it. Resort to PTPTN instead. Its 1 person per IPTA. If IPTS then can apply alongside your brother.

Did u call them up or email them to ask? I emailed them d..hopefully they said can lo...my dad TNB retiree..so,donnoe is it possible to apply YTN. Moreover,my bro gonna graduate next year le..sigh

called? My dad is a retiree and we went straight to YTN office. My dad 'thoroughly' scold them but alas, no can do. TNB staff just means you can get full loan without trouble. Not 2 at once.

Hihi...yaya...we will be there on this coming saturday. Btw, what foundation course are you taking? My english just reach form 3 standard only...So my english also manyak teruk...But during orientation we wont have speech...So,you don't have to worry too much...haha...

i take engineer....
haha...same same lah we all...
hope can inprove our english ther...

Thanks for the information

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.

Yeah...If you don't have relative at KL, it is better for you to bring after the orientation. I am \so worry with my laptop's SAFETY...Don't know how to keep my laptop since the condition in uniten is worst...!! Some laptop has their own lock but mine doesn't have...haiz...

I'd like to know if using the laptop lock alone is safe enough in UNITEN.

But what engineering are you taking???

Added on June 23, 2009, 8:39 pmBut it is safer if you lock it as people just looking for things that easy to be steal...

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.
