i got software eng offer frm this uni..wondering how far is the uni to the nearest town(kuching)?

Great course, one of toughest in unimas but bright future My room mate wil be your senior and he is top student It's around 20 mins from Kuching, or 35 minutes from Kuching Airport. Where do you from?

my brother get cognitive science course at unimas. how the living cost at kuching and how the hostel etc. thank you. and actually what cognitive science is about ?

really hard?well i take it as a challenge

nice to hear that!wat year is ur roomate now??top student summore can b my sifu summore!

im frm sabah

goldflower: Hi I am not so sure about it. But it's under FSKPM ( Fakulti Sains Kognitif Pembangunan Manusia). According to my friends, they learn lots of stuffs such as counselling even programming. They are very good in debating too!

Bus: Tinggi-tinggi Gunung Kinabalu Tinggi lagi saya sayang sama kamu

bahhhh... don't worry, you can deal with it. my room mate will be your senior he is in 2nd year. He studies 24/7. Crazy!

One thing for sure, any uni you enter. it's based on how you cop with it.

Not to scared you guys, UNIMAS is very strict on education. If you get GPA less than 2.0, you might be stopped for a month, will be kicked if turut-turut for few times, if less than 2.5, your course selection will be limited.

Looking for new juniors who successfully accepted into Faculty of Engineering. Going to graduate this year and hoping to pass my books to the newcomers

What a good senior indeed, bravo avengeline

This is one of the most thing I like in UNIMAS, seniors are very caring and helping a lot. Now our turn to help them right.?

Haha thank u vry much yes seniors are indeed very helpful. Ur 2nd yr senior?

lol thanks 4 the welcome haha

nice...wow he must b a hard worker..no wonder he is a top student!!!!

an early guideline n inspiration 4 me!

Added on June 19, 2010, 6:46 amand one more thing..my course takes 4 years to finish n i made a number of comparison with other U's which offers the same course..found that other u's took only 3 years to complete..hmm..hmm i wonder wat makes the course(software eng) diffrent frm the other U??

sorry just curious

yes in english =) basically it's longer because you have 1 semester of industrial training. other uni might make it only 2 months (during semester holiday).. and correct me if im wrong, software engineering in unimas offer more subjects (an advantage).. then you also need to take up 3 elementary courses (from other/own faculty such as japanese language/business/finance/chemistry/engineering/music/hr..up to you) -- another added advantage. you must be glad that it takes 4 years.. uni life is great =D
