Hey guys, there aren't a lot of information about the on-campus accommodation. Are they all similar, just different amount of area?

need to study really hard

@DJFoo000:It isn't.
Some share bathroom,some no share.
So please specify your questions.

@happy_pink:Everything comes with hard work isn't it?
Even your JPA scholarship you also work very hard to get what.

^ hrmm... I have queries regarding the included internet connection and the weather. I asked before and was told it wasn't that quick. But since it's included in the payment, why isn't the quality any better? And is the night weather at the campus humid? Air-cond necessary? I don't have to sleep in a freezing cold room, just cool enough that I'm not sweating.

Basically am asking for recommendation for on-campus accommodation. Sharing bedroom, good idea? The notice at the entrance of one of the dorm buildings asking students to take care of their laptops is a bit worrying.

haha

that one is with luck

Regarding the internet connection, it's included into your fees, and it's the most basic speed, good enough for emails and general surfing. Definitely not for streaming or large downloads.

The weather can be good and gentle, but the room sometimes remain rather humid. You can buy a mini-fridge to store some favorite drinks before sleep, and an extra stand fan for days that are extra humid. If you have the cash, then you can buy those portable stand air-coolers.

Sharing bedroom depends on who you get as mates. It's a very subjective question. But should be fine though. About the laptops, hmm, well it's the same issue in any part of the world I guess. Can't answer you. Just be careful of your belongings, don't be a forgetful or careless person.

Then I guess any type of accommodation would do the job. Thanks a lot.

@happy_pink
you submitted to JPA regarding Tajaan Tambahan already? Don't you want to look at what UPU is going to offer you first?

Instead of air-coolers,I think portable aircond will be better.
But then u have to worry about ur 2nd year here.
Since they might kick you out and ask u to find accommodation on ur own.

More rumoured bad news about accommodation.
Before that, fact on the internet.

You get a 128kbps connection free in your stay. You need to do your registration at the internet office then everything will be fine. You may, opt for the 512kbps or 768kbps package, of which, you will be charged more. Depending entirely on you, if may be worth to get those packages. But, bare in mind, P2P doesn't work, and you might struggle to grab the line with any other possible rapidshare/megaupload/hotfile users. (IMHO, no download will be the best.)

And, I have been hearing this, although this remains unconfirmed. All of the rooms may install a electric meter to monitor your usage of electricity (see, they like your money so much). There will be 2 outcomes. First will be the worst, anything you use, you pay it. Or, maybe, there will be a limit, like how they do it on the air-con unit. You have a credit, when you use that up, you need to pay what you use extra. This seems like a measure for them to counter any usage of portable air-con and also the minibar fridge. It's not confirmed yet and I do not know if it will get implemented or not. But, get a way to solve your fridge/air-con if this ever gets implemented.

How's the campus lately?

I was a graduate from UNIM 3 years back!

XD

LOL. I guess accommodation is something the main management can't really control?

Housing aside, Mech Eng students, how's the teaching going? The 'tour guide' talked about how everyone gets to use the fabrication apparatus instead of sharing it like what is being done in other establishments.

Yea,suppose that the main management couldn't take very good care of the accommodation department.
Or the SA isn't working so greatly and the main management couldn't hear the complains?

But I think the Mechanical Engineering students should have the chance to use the equipments unless you yourself don't want to touch it.
I have a friend who is attending Mech Eng,so I knew a little.

For what I know, the university is taking over the management of the accommodation. There is a new accommodation office in the SA building. And Pioneer and Perintis will sort of serve as an agent that just take cares of the cleaning chores etc. I am not sure where would the students paying the rental to though.

Okay, mechanical Year 2 here.
What do you mean by "what is being done in other establishments"? For what I know, those milling and lathe machines, everyone will get a chance, and will have to do it. There will be a sort of tutorials session that you have to attend to learn to use those machines in the 1st semester. And on your 1st year 2nd semester, and subsequently your 2nd year, you will need to do fabrication, which is part of your project in your course.
And about teaching, well, I have to warn you, in some ways. 09/10 is the new batch of students who undergo the new course structure. It now follows TIGHTLY to the UK system. Is this something good or bad? It depends on you. But for what I see, it is making life a lot harder compared to my batch (08/09). Just to scare you a bit. Each year, we take 120 credits, where in most courses, most years, it's equally divided on a 60/60 basis, or maybe 50/70, 70/50 basis. But, for mechanical Year 1, it's divided into... 20/100. Only 20 credits will be assessed in the 1st sem but a whopping 100 credits on the 2nd sem. Why? Because a lot of the modules have combined together and become a year long module. Can be good, can be bad.

Go Jack,!!

MAke MecHE proud.


lol

No lo.. 1st year very cham lo.. 20/100 like that. Feel so glad I join you all on January, no need suffer. The format for their subjects also change, got MCQ le, and got a lot short questions like last time de Solid 1.

haha,yea,that's what i heard from my friend.
if fail one subject,then have to scare for very long time..

if uni is taking care of all those depts,i think they are doing quite "efficiently".
I went to book for the cleaning,guess what they answer me..
"We are very busy with checking out stuffs and whole month no cleaning service available"..
Hopefully the SA and the uni are doing something meaningful.
Something really from the basic.
Not something like building some courts just for temporary use.
