Frequently asked questions:

1) I am new and what should I do to apply PTPTN?
Get your documents certified. Documents such as offer letter, SPM results and etc. Certify those and then go to the orientation. You will have a good picture. Open a CIMB account too. You can go to MMU and open as it only need you to deposit RM20

2) Do the students need to wear formal during classes or any specific date to do so?
No, students do not need to wear formal and is up to the students to wear any attire (but regards to the dress code of Multimedia University. Failure to do so, can make the student liable for fine of RM100.00 by security personal.

3) Is MMU law recognized?
Yes, on 10 August 2008 by Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail with reference number [LK/SAG/7-1A & 7-1C; PN(PU2)314/IX]

4) Which is better? MMU Melaka or Cyber?
There are both pro and cons in this situation. For example, in MMU Melaka, people like to do events and they have different lifestyle. However, facilities here are not in good shape as its quite old. However, for Cyberjaya is total contrast. Events are not held constantly and not as much as MMU Melaka. But facilities tend to be way better than Cyberjaya.

5) Should we attend orientation?
Yes and very yes! Why? First is because after u pay the amount for registration, you have already paid for orientation. And secondly, please don’t rely only on seniors. Seniors also sometimes do not know how to solve the problem and at the end, come to see SRC. Most people whom do not know where to go and come to SRC are the people who did not turn up for orientation. And lastly, why want to rely on other people?

6) After paying the bank draft what should I do?
Bring the receipt of payment to the registration as it is just a backup in case the system shows that you did not pay.

7) Where can I stay if there is no hostel in MMU Melaka?
You can always stay at apartments nearby such as Ixora, Emerald Park, Bukit Beruang Utama and etc. Or you can stay at housing nearby such as Taman Kerjasama, Taman Bunga Raya or Taman Dahila. Most is around few minutes’ walk and depending on the place and how fast you walk.

8) What scholarships can I take if I want to come to MMU?
MMU Yayasan TM Scolarship
MMU Chancellor Scholarship

Or other companies who are willing to sponsor you. Do not forget that PTPTN can be converted into scholarship if you are able to graduate with CGPA of 3.67 without extending your term of studies

9) Do I need to stay in hostel?
In MMU, you have your right to have your own accommodation and is not compulsory to stay in hostel even for new students. There is no curfew, and hence, you are free to walk in and out of MMU (but u will need to write your name and ID on a book provided by security) during 12am – 8am.

10) Where can I stay in MMU Melaka?
There are many houses available in MMU Melaka. You can try these 3 taman which is Taman Kerjasama, Taman Bunga Raya and Taman Dahlia. All these 3 taman are quite near to campus. Else, apartments such as Ixora, Emerald Park, Bukit Beruang Utama (BBU), University Green (UG) and etc would be your choose.

11) What should I do if I have problem?
Contact me at my cell (016-6588220)

12) What is the network speed in campus?
The network equipments support 10/100Mbps (end user).

13) Laundry and iron service for MMU Cyber hostel?

There are irons in MMU Cyberjaya hostel, which you won't need it. Remember, during class you're NOT needed to wear formal. Unless you want to iron your T-Shirt, then you'll need an iron which is available at the Wing B 5th floor of each Block.

There are 2 different laundry service in MMU Cyberjaya Hostel
1- U send anything inside a plastic bag, collect it around 1 days later, pay around RM2/kg (Available at Hostel Block (HB) ONE)

hmm what about hot water? got kettles?

Thanks amiru ;D

Gavin, all the documents that is needed to be submit for PTPTN can be certified at MMU office rite? BTW, during orientation they will tell us what we should do to apply for PTPTN?

yeay..thread 2.........weehuuu weeehuuu....

if wash d cloth myself, then where to hang them??

yes, during orientation, they will update u regarding this

I think the question about how is the internet speed are not meant the LAN speed . . . . .

Let me answer you this question if I may ^^

REALLY FAST SPEED at weekend and Friday after the noon session, besides that, well ..... depend on luck , might even worse than dial-up sometimes . . .
But for those who like BT-ing .... there are no worry about it because we got INTRANET which provide GOOD quality of latest games/movie/software etc in cybertracker ^^

guys, for the orientation and during a presentation, a formal attire is needed but neck tie is not needed right?

during presentation, formal attire is needed , neck tie is optional ( some need it to make them look smart . . . . or whatever . . . .)

orientation just some casual wear enough , just follow the dressing code.

its in FAQ ad. item number 12. huhu

---

Added on May 21, 2010, 4:11 pmno casual attire are allowed during orientation.

This post has been edited by gavinfernando: May 21 2010, 04:11 PM

gavin, is it mean, those polo shirt with color is not allowed during orientation? must be formal shirt only?

YES. polo t shirts are considered "smart casual" attire.
formal attire has only 2 types of shirts.
buttoned long sleeve or short sleeve.
if u wan batik, up to u. lol

yeap. no jeans allowed as well. Round neck? No... u get the meaning of formal? if u want to go for a work interview? u wont wear polo T-shirt...

Now I'm nervous I couldn't fit in well in MMU

u go see the links i have posted up.. see and comment here.. haha

What? formal for orientation nowadays? I don't remember wearing formal during my orientation 4 years ago..

4 years ago? last time i remember we used to have no computers too..

Can't believe still have to perform Chicken Dance

This post has been edited by peachie-momo: May 21 2010, 05:52 PM

aww.. thats for melaka.. but for cyber, im not sure.. huhu

i hope not ._.''

whatever it is, from my experience,
orientation fun or not, actually depends more on us freshies,
not so much on the OC.
want it to be fun, must go all out and have fun.
in this few years of uni life, we'll only experience 1 orientation unless we join SRC and be part of the OC next year.
in short, have fun lah everybody. haha

For Cyberjaya Campus, there are water dispenser in the pantry which you can get cold and hot water.
Just don't expect much about Cyberjaya's hostel. It kinda sucks, not sure about Melaka.

Benefits to stay hostel @Cyberjaya:
- a bit cheaper
- a bit closer
- much faster internet
- nothing else


I didn't meant the LAN speed.. Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc can reach UPTO 8MB/s during application based QoS with less people around campus.
If campus is full then the speed should be around 1-2 MB/s
During user based QoS downloading should be around 200-500kB/s (again, depend on how many people are around campus)

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

is tht after register, can get d hostel?? Can i know more about after d registeration end? Because i'm frm other state, thts y need to know when can i get d hostel.

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

thx, gavin.

no probs.. any other probs?

now i just found out one.

on d day i post d bank-in-slip, gt 3 copies rite n i do nt take d student copy, so, what should i do now?? I post all of them, haih...

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...

oh... die.............................................................................
can pull the trigger ad.
tht day i gt called up n ask whether they get my payment, they check my student id n said yes. Is this how they checked??

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

haha.... then lucky....
now i will get my nice sleep, hehe..... thx gavin!!

Thanks

But this has made me wonder about another thing.. what's actually in the pantry room?

A water dispenser, 2 sinks, a dustbin and electric sockets (not sure how many)
Sucks isn't it?
Sometimes I wonder, why the hell I stay hostel. Then I remember, oh its cheaper n where else can I download stuff from internet at 2MB/s.

Thanks. Guess there's not much to be done there

If you're a person who at home, always sit in front of your PC playing games and the only reason not to is because your parent scold you not to... then if you enter MMU and stay hostel, you'll probably sit in front of your PC 20 hours a day playing games...
or even watching TV Series, Movies, etc.
Believe me, there are too many entertainment in your room that you might even forget to go eat.

I won't be bringing Notebook until the next PC Fair

Pray that you have a nice room-mate, borrow her laptop and check for announcement, etc everytime before you go to class.
Coz all announcement are made through MMLS (multimedia learning system) which you'll know more during orientation.

Remember, almost 90% are digital.

Oh dear, and I thought I could survive till next PC Fair

i hope i'm not making a wrong choice by getting a desktop instead of a notebook xD
cos my acer burnt already. =.= either graphics or chipset rosak.
repair too mahal so i opt for desktop instead.
cheaper, better, affordable maintainence. but not mobile.

PS peachie u worked for ACER in PC Fair right? haha..

You can always drop by the library or NTU lab to check the announcements.

Or ask your groupmates.

How are you gonna bring your desktop to MMU?? unless you wanna setup there??

Agree with zombie-pig.

Thought of me when your ACer burnt eh?? Yes, I worked there along with some of your friends as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzjhpKlMkds

MMU seems fun !

for a laptop..would it be better to get windows or mac?

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

If you are staying in rented house outside should be alright but those in hostel?? The room is not big enough for 3 wardrobes not to mention a desktop and cyberjaya hostel rooms are really small just a size of my room *sigh*

haha okay...im already using a macbook...guess its time to get windows OS for it

Guys, hows the condition for cyberjaya hostel rooms? Since admin said 3 people in a room, so definitely 1 double decker and a bed. That leaves to my next question which is, are there desk to study and chairs? also, enough space for cupboards? Can someone staying in cyberjaya hostel upload a picture of the room pls..

3 desk and 3 chairs to study but only 2 wardrobe so 1 people must share with wardrobe which is inconvenient.

This post has been edited by peachie-momo: May 22 2010, 06:21 PM

For Cyberjaya campus, its a double decker and a single bed. 2 wardrobes and a long desk which is suppose for 2 person.

Here is how it is suppose to work:
The one grabbing the single bed get the wardrobe but not the desk. Those who get the double decker have to share wardrobe but get the desk.
But you can always work things out, sharing is caring.

erm ya. gonna setup my desktop there.
found a seller who is mmu cyber student as well.
good service (from what he told me)
price around lowyat price (which is where i intended to go)
and 1 year onsite warranty.
so he just come collect from my place if got problem.
don need go all the way from cyber to lowyat. =)

What AMiRU said is true cos i confirmed with a friend who used to stay in Cyber hostel. now moved out to cyberia already.
the idea of not having a desk in my own room really motivated me to look for a room in cyberia which i already did =)
and the only thing that is good about the hostel is the internet, which i bet almost everyone knows lah.

fox87, go youtube search "mmu hostel". there are some negativities of the hostel there.
but since i havent really stayed there, i remain neutral xD
judge for yourself.. (apparently "no smoking" does not apply there o.O)
