yeap. same here in melaka. but hostel is now closed. If not mistaken, they are using delcol

after register u can go to the hostel. thats what i know... and registration ends by 12pm. so, if possible, come before 10am. so u have enough time to put your things in the hostel

no probs.. any other probs?

ermm... seriously? ok. the is only one thing that u can do. Pray that they received the payment from u! call them on monday for conformation...

if u have called them and ur student ID says ok... means fine la... then no need to die. Lucky u!!

if anyone drop by pc fair at melaka can see me too.. haha
maybe this time klcc and melaka... but i think have pro and cons:

If for laptop, after paying IT fees, its like u are not using the facilities provided. So, having a laptop enable u to go to class, does not need to print notes and just look at ur laptop. And at the same time, u can torrent during the lec.. haha

if desktop, is rather good in sense that MMu student dont really off their pc. so, even myself leave my pc on and surely my pc will be doing some stuff.

Added on May 22, 2010, 5:09 pmwindows is user friendly. but great advantage of mac is that u will be able to minimize virus infection. Since MMU uses windows, its not bad to use mac. Then ur laptop/pc wont get pregnent with virus. and if u want to buy apple new products, in mmu melaka there is sapura shop where the items are cheaper as it has student's price.

Added on May 22, 2010, 5:09 pmno commnet. but for me, i think they have nothing to do and is just too free..

Added on May 22, 2010, 5:10 pmi brought my pc from hometown.. no big deal. and i have seen ppl bring their lcd, and desktop back and put in the bus too.. haha

cyber ria is not that bad after all.. dun worry. but the housemates and room mates.. just hope u get a good one.

Actually i personally think why not stay at hostel for 1st year? get the feel and the nice surrounding. Haha, then after that, in 2nd year, u can either continue stay or move to cyber ria with ur friends that u had in ur 1st year. just a tought..

PC/laptop is up to u want to bring or not. if u are staying somewhere around campus then why not bring along. U will need the computers to do ur assignments and etc during classes. on 30th is the registration. after that, u will need to come back in the afternoon for briefing of whats gonna happen for the week. Then orientation will start on monday until friday. class will start on 7th which is on monday.

Hence, as for ur parents, they have a few options

Option 1 is what normal parents do when wana send their 2nd child and etc. This is because they have experience already and they will not stay. Normally this group will just drop their kid off and maybe leaving on monday for work.

But option 2 is really carring parents (but i dont know why they seemed so free). They will spend the whole week with their kid during the orientation but i does not see it as practical. The parent need to wait until the kid finally finish orientation then keep on bringing their kids out. During orientation, students are not allowed to leave MMU. This is because, it is our responsibility to assure ur safety. Hence, during lunch, some parents will keep on bugging us want to bring their kid out for lunch and etc. But the answer from me is usually a NO! I mean, once send the kid to uni, is the child him/herself need to survive the uni life. During orientation is the time, students will get together and know each other better. And that friendship last until the student grad and might be still in touch until work...

The option i would usually recommend is, tell ur dad/ mom have leave on monday. (if possible). Then, they can help u get what u need on sunday after registration and briefing. And on monday they can go back. Maybe ur parents will need to spend night. But if cannot take leave, then is ok too. Just tell them to leave at night after u fianlly settle everything.

Take note... If u are staying at places such as cyber ria, u need to bring ur things from ur house and transfer them to ur new house after registration. Then after orientation, u can go back on saturday and come back on sunday to continue bringing ur things. Like for me, I am originally from shah alam and i need to study at melaka. Luck me, my family have quite a number of cars and i can transfer all my things including new bed, cupboard and etc.

During registration, u may wear casual. but during briefing (if can wear formal). But during orientation is strictly formal..

yes.. only cyber

well 500KBPS - 1.5MBPS, im still happy with the speed. Cox cuber pay extra for the internet speed as well. but we pay lesser for that

yes, after registration and have briefing.
U may go back and return back to MMU on 31st may. No prob too..

U wont be able to settle the room so fast. I mean, in one day. Maybe after orientation, u pack up ur things little by little?
haha.

Ok, lets make this clear. If u ask me, of course I will encourage each and everyone to join the orientation. Not only u have paid "some amount" in the RM1.8K. But also for u to know how MMU runs. Basically, in MMU, everything is using computer. From course registration until download ur lecture notes. So, orientation allows u to handle everything. I dont see why people do not want to come. I see it like, commit yourself for 5 days and u will survive for 4 years at least.

It is ur call, to come or not to come, but u make sure there is people to help u to register course online (the most important).
So, I would recomend u to stay after registrationa and make sure u settle ur accomodation first. Thats the important one.

Added on May 24, 2010, 2:11 pmthere are dress code to follow. BUt it depends. I have seen ppl dye their hair purple and etc. and the hair super punk. But did not kena anything. just to share, me and the head of security and campus director wanted to go out and have lunch. Then on the way, Major Anba stoped a student (international student) and told her, why her hair is like this. In front of me and the rest of the staff, she told, (sir, I am thinking with my head, not with my hair. So, i do not see it as a problem. With that sentence, she walk away and I laughed). Then as usual, the management will condemn me and other SRC for not having enough awareness. lolx.

Foundation can apply ptptn. Max will get RM8000.
And make sure u keep RM4000 to topup.
And U need to go to BSN and buy the RM5 pin code.
then u go to PTPTN website and fill it up.
U do not need to open SSPN account.

Make sure u fill the details in the PTPTN correctly.

Added on May 24, 2010, 9:38 pmyes during orientation will tell u about this. U will need to buy the pin from BSN. Thats all. After submiting the document via online, then wait for "hari bersama PTPTN". You will then need to buy RM20 stem hasil or RM10 stem hasil if u are anak yatim.

Added on May 24, 2010, 9:39 pmMelaka only if not mistaken. Else u can go to MMC (Multimedia College)

u still need to attend hari bersama ptptn. U just dont need to buy the form like last time. Last time students need to buy the form from PTPTN or MMU admin. Now instead of using the form, u will need to apply online. After apply online, they will "semi-approve" it. The success candidate will be uploaded in bulletin. If ur name is there, then 2nd step is to print the from from the system (that u have key in). And photocopy other documents like ur IC, mother, father IC, salary, J-form/ 3 months pay slip/ pengesahan by pegawai A and etc.

Aafter that, u need to wait around 1-2 weeks only the money will go to your CIMB account.

However, now there is a new policy. The money will go to your account first. But in less than few seconds only. This is because, ur CIMB account will; tally with your MMU account.

Dont get confused:
For exmple, if u have RM5000 debts to MMU, and PTPTN will bank in Rm4000 (supposingly). The full amount of RM4000 will automatically moved from your account to mmu's account and assume u pay the fees.

However, if you owe MMU RM4000 and PTPTN gives you RM5000, RM4000 will move to MMU's acount leaving you with RM1000 balance.

Get it?

Normally, after registration and if u settle all the documentation and there is a room vacant. Depends on your luck.

But if everything ok, it will be on the same day

if u have settled everthing include ur fee and stuff, should have a room right away. means after the registration, as u have ur room key, its already yours. to check on that, why not u call the hostel people?

no need so hurry. U need to apply after orientation. Dun simply apply, if not it wont be approved. u need to make sure ur date, results and etc are correct. And if u apply now oso no use. The system will send to MMU and MMU will send to PTPTN batch by batch
