OK. I'm currently 17, which is form 5. And I'm planning to get into LimKokWing University this Sept, for ID (Interior Design). Is the university good? Like environment, teachers, management, fees, place etc. Tell me about it! Your likes and dislikes. THANK YOU! <3

Yes, don't limit yourself to only a single college or uni. I would suggest you do more research on other colleges or unis out there.

1) Because I'm not studying in government school, and not following government syllables, but American syllables. So after I finish all my grades, and I'll be able to college after that. smile.gif

2) Yes, I actually heard about negative things about it before. But not that much, so I'm not that sure. sad.gif But I asked one of my friends who is studying there, and she told me "It's the best school ever." So I'm getting very confuse. LMAO.

and about the environment, I heard it's alot of Africans! LOL.

And besides LKW, I search for other colleges before like PJ Art. But I heard it's not as good as LKW. Yes, I'm confused once again. AHHH.

BTW, any colleges related to art can recommend?

I don't really get it why " too much foreigners" is considered as a negative thing ?

I guess it's because of too many Africans, which I heard from my friend.

Well, The One Academy has interior design course as well. Not too sure how good it is though.

Another art school would be Dasein, but I'm not too sure if they have ID or not.

haha..im a lkw student but i quit after my first semester..

first of all, when im in f5 last year, i did consider between The One Academy and LKW..after some personal factors, i choose LKW. another thing i choose lkw is because i love the environment..like it wont be very crowded, the whole university structure is big,etc..plus its a globalised uni..

im going to major in creative multimedia and after 1semester i quit..what i don like there is there're too many africans na foreigners..U need to ask urself, are u ready to accept this? Personally im ok with it just that its quite hard to communicate with them..Mix with them nothing wrong..But not everyone having the same mind. Some might think its ok to mix with them and communicate with them..But some might scared to see so many africans or what..When u avoid making friends with those foreigners, u will be quite lonely there..eventually ur college life wil be quite boring and lonely..Another thing i don like is the lectuer. Mayb the lecturers i had are not good enough..but NOT every lecturers are not good..some are good as well..it depends..plus in uni, u cant really rely on lecturers..need to depend on urself..but i always think that TOA is more serious in teaching.. smile.gif
in LKW, class starts at 9..and sometimes u can go back at 12 plus..2 or 3hours class..i don think its enough..

again, somehow i think lkw is famous of its name mayb? like its an international uni..there're around 9k students there..but almost 80% are stuyding NON-DESIGN courses like IT,business etc. The foreigners come here to study that. and whenever u come out from class, u can see lots of foreigners are smoking/walking around the campus.

and where are u staying? hostel? cyberjaya is quite a boring city..thats why i stay at my bro house @ ara damansara and everyday drive 35mins to school and back to school..and pay rm6.40 toll..

so after sem1, i decided to move to TOA..

conclusion IMHO, advantages of LKW is the uni is globalised, cheaper, nice environtment..
advantages of TOA is the teaching, many local students, and located at the city..

disadvantages of LKW - teaching not serious enough,many foreigners,boring city,
disadvantages of TOA - the college is in shoplots

Alright, here is some advise.

I was a lecturer before in a college and i have seen and heard more then my own ears can take. From a personal stand point there is no such thing as the perfect college or UNI in here. Most of what you will learn is controled by the ministry of education. From there the college head will control what you will learn aswell, most of the time the lecturer will not have his way when it comes to teaching students. When i teach 2D animation to students in college, i am require to teach them the whole thing in just 6 months while also letting the student juggle other subjects. Which is impossible for a student to grasp and be professional at if they keep being bombarded with other distractions.

Please be aware that a diploma doesn't give you an dvantage when it comes to applying for jobs. Most of what you need to learn will be self taught and not delivered by the college.

Here is a quaote from the head of the college i use to teach:

" We can't teach the students everything, if they want to be good at something then they should go and look it up"

" We can't pay you for doing extra classes, why don't you spend more time with the students. The other lecturers are also doing it"

" Don't set your standard too high, try to teach them the basics only"

" Can you change the method of teaching, i know this has been set as the foundation and basis of teaching but we need something to show"

When i said i wasn't going to teach for free and change my teaching method to suit the colege i was replaced. They didn't care if the student learn anything, they just want some finish student works to show off to investors. Even if it means the lecturer have to do the work for the students as well. shocking.gif

If you want a good college to study in, go to canada or france if you can afford it. If you have no choice pick your choice of college and go with it.

Sorry, but i can't disclose this college name. wink.gif

I agree with most of your points! Haha. And plus, africans' accent are very very difficult to hear. Because I experienced it before, so. And I agree CyberJaya is way too far. But I think people will still go there because of its environment. Its most prominent advantage is just the ENVIRONMENT. *sigh* But I think TOA is more on multimedia? Have you heard of MIA before? I heard there's interior design there too! blink.gif

Yes, of course I know there's no such thing as perfect college or Uni. smile.gif I'm just looking for a BETTER college, so that's why I'm looking for advise from you people here biggrin.gif Thanks so much for your advise anyway! But I don't think I can afford going straight to overseas.. But I can still afford twinning programme? smile.gif

Dasein? My friend's sister is studying there. But I don't think it's that good? Because I went into their website before, and it's so ugly and untidy. If they can't make their own website more neatly and nice. I can't really trust them on their method of teaching.. Maybe my statement it's not true, but this is what I can guess la. Lol.

Go to visit whatever university or college you have in your mind and choose it yourself. I believe you could make your own decision.

Good or bad lecturer , it depends on the student itself. I choose LKW over SeGi and I have not regret even for a bit.

If I were to ask based on the opinions of you guys (maybe you guys have experienced it),

Which design college or university would you recommend has the best teaching methods, quality guidance, up-to-date curriculum & constant exposure to outside activities, events in Digital Animation?

it's not necessary when u go to lkw you have to mix with those africans?
well i'm in my 3rd sem in lkw now and i have friends from malaysia, indonesia n korea.
they are friendly smile.gif you can choose NOT to befriend with those africans or whatsoever if you think you cant understand what they're talking about..

btw i'm only friends with my classmates and i dont think its a prob at all..
unless u want to have like half of the campus students to be ur friends.. 5k?? crazy..

overall i think lkw is quite ok. their lecs may not be the best but you still learn at the end of the day.
and you explore a lot.. lkw is really flexible.

what i mean is..for example, when u are in design course, u can see the number of africans in design course..its LESS..mayb 10% or even less than that..My friends who study communication,her class have lots of africans..

i gotta agree with u that lkw is flexible..the life there is quite relaxing compared to TOA which have soo many strict rules and u have to obey them..if not... hmm.gif

my friends in ID has less classes on short sems. maybe like 2 classes a week?
depending on you.
the next intake for TOA DEGREE PROGRAMME might have interior design choice. MIGHT. from what i hear.

MIA. hrmm wad i hear from my art teacher. it was once the best art school in malaysia.
The ID dept is also considered ok.

if u r listening to what a TOA students said,it might be quite unfair..he/she might dunno whast the advantages/disadvantages of both college..

but im a student of lkw and why i quit..i sure have my own reasons right? haha..

ok well i think TOA is really a serious school..quite strict too..
today the principal of TOA, Tatsun Hoi just gave us a talk..i truly agree wat he said..we join TOA just for one reason, WE WAN TO LEARN..as simple as that.

so if u r a person who are looking for freedom,relax lifestyle, feel free to choose any colleges u wan..but not TOA..if not it gotta make a hell of ur life..however, if you are a person who wish to achive what u r aiming all this while, learn things u dunno, willing to suffer for now, TOA is the right place..so it really depends.but don even 4get, u r spending ur parents money now..choose the life u wan...=)

btw, i think ID is much more interesting under the guidance of eric leong..he's quite active and he not just teach u bla bla bla..he said he more focus on practical,thats why he organised lots of exhibitions,competitions etc which i don think lkw will do.

True, everything has got its boons and banes...

But what you said, between choosing freedom & relaxing lifestyles and suffer at the beginning but wish to achieve what one's aim, I'd go for the hard choice.
Going through the crisis, but in return gaining something valuable in the end, I guess it's worth the effort huh? sweat.gif

I just visited LKW today! And I think it's really a nice place.. more like a university life, as it's in a campus. The only thing I don't like about TOA is it's in shoplot. Making me feel like I'm going for tuition and not much like a Uni or College. sad.gif But after I read what you commented. Myself want to LEARN, not to just relaxing. How many months have you been in LKW? And why did you quit? Because it's not strict enough?

LOL! YES! the environment there is awesome! the campus look cool right? thats what i think also..

but like what i said last time..depends on urself actually..i dunno what kind of person are u..as for me, last time my class got around 20+ students..and there're only around 5/6 locals..and among the locals, only 1 local guy..means whole class 2 local guys..its not that i don like to mix with foreigners,but sometimes its quite hard to communicate, and u will find that the place is not belong to u..

last time i told my toa lecturers that im a lkw student previously and she said if u wanna to be in lkw, u must be very "COOL"! haha..well i don really know how she define COOL..=)

as for TOA,its shoplots but now i think its nice lo..its not that boring like lkw..u gotta trust me..lets not talk about whether the assignments will make me hate TOA next time onot..haha.

but the veryyyy first reason is when i start my studies in lkw, i totally got a thinking that "this place is not belong to me, i just come here study thats all".. but at TOA is diff..when im there, everything is just so friendly and nice..thats what i think la..

Hmm,well..tell u something..IF u wan to learn, TOA is the right place.why? even the lecturers in LKW ask us not to further our studies there..unbelivable right? its true..but i wont reveal out the lecturer's name..when i proceed the school leaving procedure, the lecturer ask me what happen..i told him im quitting..he ask me why and where im going..i said "TOA"..and he replied "good la..there's good"..

1) teaching more serious
2) inside environment (NOT OUTSIDE)
3) easy to have more friends(almost everyone local)
4) more convenient(easy to find food,buy things)
5) the environment makes me think the place is for me to study and learn..i dunno why..but in lkw, i jsut think that since i pay money d, then i learn lo..thats all.
6) some handsome/pretty lecturers..nah..just joking..=)
ETC..
p/s : but i dunno whether i will start to hate toa coz of my assignments onot la..haha..at least i have experience in LKW so i know how to manage my time properly.

What made you thought so? tongue.gif Lol, maybe I post too often xD!

Oh, the lects are <30? Wow, I wonder if they really have good exposure and training in those creative fields...So, right now do you think they're good enough? I mean maybe they're competent and equally passionate to teach? I somehow worried that the quality of teaching might dropped over the years, as news have shed lights on it for quite some time...

And hey, one question...most of the assignments you do are tediously long? From many post I've read, usually it could take almost a day and you can only rest a few hours, is that true? How is it like for you in your daily life as a TOA student?

My bad for asking too much, I guess curiousity is my middle name! blink.gif

Right, like all aspiring artist wouldn't wanna follow an experienced student's footstep. tongue.gif

Wow, the lects must be really dedicated from what you said...and about the research, I'm wondering if I could ask what kind of research would you do if you're on your own?

Oh and that face...don't tell me assignments are gonna be hell? blink.gif Ugh..don't tell me it's even more tedious than doing school homework?! shakehead.gif Hey...I didn't know there are so many types of just -art- assignments?! blink.gif

Helloo ha, i'm a student of LKW myself studying Games Technology Course.
Seriously Africans a lot here haha.

but i've been in LKW for 3 years, and all i can say it's awesome..
Well seriously, it depends on individual, for now all my course teachers is great, helpful, fun to go with and easy to communicate. However, different course has different teachers and each person has different perspective. It depends on individual, i don't mind if you come here study and i can guide you, but you will still have to learn to be independent and know how to keep self-discipline.

Location - Off-campus desaria villa.
20 minutes by bus to school,
10 minutes back by bus from school.

RM90 per month for bus. haha, and it comes at an hourly interval, but it depends. I've been sitting the bus for 3 years, furthermore it's definitely far to the city.

Desaria to Sunway RM30 if i'm not mistaken since staying here i've been staying at home and studying hard. haha

Yeah, at first my first choice was LKW but I was a little blur about it initially.

Last year, after attending a career day exhibition at my school, I found out about TOA and its portfolio of its students' achivements and realised how good it probably is. From that day on, it was my targeted college I've been aiming for when I leave for college.
I can consider your opinion but LKW is too far from my place and I don't know if I'm able to financially survive with loads of bus fee and many other things over there as TOA is close to my home sad.gif

But thanks for the suggestion!

Even which college you study design, the important thing is do you have put more EFFORT in design what you had learn from the school. Depends on what lecturer their taught, either you can research yourself.

1. how u managed to go into lkw while u still in f5? u wanna use ur trial exam result?

2. why lkw? u really nvr heard abt all those negative things abt lkw?

environment:
inside the campus, not good at all, too much foreigners, outside campus, lagi teruk, its in the middle of nowhere......

teachers:
only pay more attention to those son/daughter of dato datin vip...

management:
they make it very commercial, i mean VERY......

fees:
if ur parents got money printer at home, then should be ok......

but anyway, later sure got ppl come flame me, say me tok kok or whatever, so i suggest u go there and see see look look for urself......

envirment : I dnt see any negativity hvg too much foreigners in school. u'r exposed to dfrent culture and dfrent way of doing things.. i guess u love being stranded wth ur own race forever. lol

teachers : LOL what makes vip children more special than others? this is so irrelevant!

management : I admit that their management esp the registry is quite f***d up. but so far ive never encounter any major problems.

fees : LKW fees are not that expensive to be cmpared wth TOA and others. its worth the quality of education we received here.

I'm a limkokwing graduate and what I can say is LUCT is a diffrent school from others. Rumors bout the way we socialize and stuff is so old stuff dude. Going to LKW is no dffrent than buying a Macbook. All the PC users claim that MAC sucks just bcuz they cant afford it. same goes to limkokwing university.

Added on September 30, 2010, 1:23 pmby the way i heard my friend who is studying at limkokwing he told me now the policy changed: further studies at UK is compulsory. maybe i'm wrong? my friend freaked out because he has no money for that. huhuhu

i wasnt gonna add to this thread, but i thought i should reply to this.

the environment is very relaxed and informal, actually the whole of cyberjaya looks very sprawled out and suburban.
as for foreigners, im a foreigner studying in limkokwing my self. i do not think its a problem having foreigners, haha, obviously. But i totally agree with an earlier poster about communication problems. This is actually quite a big problem in some cases, especially involving group work.

as for teachers and management, i think the biggest problem with that is the huge number of students going in to Limkokwing each semester, speaking from experience, i can say that the standards management sucks in limkokwing. if you have money they'll let you in, and you can coast to a degree.

fees: limkokwing IS expensive. not only is it expensive, but they look for ways to suck money out of you at every turn. one example is the numerous trips within malaysia and outside, that are overcharged by the management. ask anyone doing design, multimedia or architecture there.


you would be better off going to a place where the focus is on teaching, and not glorious self-promotion.

goodluck.

1) the whole cyberjaya is peaceful/clean/quiet..But definitly not a place for entertainment..and hard to get food..lots of my friends are either go down to puchong/sri kembangan for food..

2) agree..the management sux..and the way they do things is slow..i still i remember last time i only get my ID after 1month plus..they ask me to go on monday, i go they said next few days..i go again they said i nvr give them photo which i already gave them..after few days,they said not ready yet..
i go there around 10times just to get my ID.

3) as for the fees, somehow i think i didnt get for what i've been paying..

why you don't take the architecture course in LKW???? somehow i think it's better but pls get in mind, the fee is really expensive, at least to me lah....well I'm currently studying at this school and taking Professional design course...

we have A LOT (I really mean it!) of assignments, presentations, those kind of stuff lah haha....everyday going to school asking the lecturers to have tutorials then heading home doing assignments till we see the sun light LOL...I don't know how it is going on with other courses but Professional Design & Architecture courses in LKW are kinda hard...My housemates and me, we are always stressed out during every sem....

FYI, Limkokwing services (the bursary, management, visa) NOT THAT BAD it must be REALLY BAD, SUCK AS HELL hahhahhaha I admit lah...they're so slow and stupid, for example, like in my 1st sem, I finished with all A marks and I was like ok ok i'm satisfied i'm happy haha hihi hoho then suddenly the following sem, in my student portal, the status was DEFERRED!! (which means postpone, I have to retake).. I LOST ALL MARKS, ATTENDANCE BLAH BLAH!!! they said that I didn't attend last sem?? huh? wtf????!!! LOL so I spent around 1 month to deal with that shit then now everything is fine or if not, I would go to FIRE UP that school alrd lol...but about other sides in LKW, lecturers some are REALLY good and got experienced skilll i must say, we've learning a lot from them, some are so so and bad lah..(the same with other colleges)....hmmm good thing is they always have assignments for us to train and learn by ourselves smile.gif))))

well in my opinion, if you really have passion in design, it doesn't matter how your school is, the most important thing is YOU, your skill, your ability, how patient enough you are like spending around 2 days to finish your artwork hahaha.....lectures + school are also important as well but i think that just can help you like 1/3, the rest 2/3 is learning by yourself lah..tongue.gif.......some of my classmates who are from China, Iranian or Africa, they are so lazy they always got tons of excuses (sorry no offence to others, i'm just talking about my classmates tongue.gif)....those lazy ppl like to complain things and blame all on school but actually i personally think the problem is from them.....even they move to another school, i bet that thing will be repeated..

btw, Desaria sucks tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif whatever lah I just feel that it's a dead place in the world tongue.gif , rip off taxi, rip off bus, rip off rental, rip off food (except the food outside from 6pm onward tongue.gif).....Cyberia is way much more better plus its easy for me going to any where I want....

tongue.gif well I just wanna share some experiences as I'm a LKW student ..guess I'm talking too much tongue.gif

LIMKOKWING rubbish school i studied at there wasted my money

1) true they are money face Uni, i look for the lecturer i inform they i want to score A- , ( they said cannot teach me ) sighed..

2) i get my result very poor, C- pnly 1.7 CGPA

3) i ask u , when u looking for a work and with a 1.7/C- CGPA who want to offer u a job?

4) And why u dont go for a Goverment Uni? which cheaper and easy to score +gov cert allow u to work in high grade officer in gov. and LKW not recognise by goverment.

5)lecturer wont teach u to score high mark , but he let you swim in the middle of the sea. That are the best where u are very hard working also no use scoring c-.

6) i had change to goverment Uni which i had tell myself forget the past.

7) i hope posting this can help more malaysian ppl finding the rite source of life.

not sure what u mean by "same course", but if u are looking for interior / product / graphic design, then may i suggest Malaysian Institute of Art.

well, just dont expect luxury amenities inside Malaysian Institute of Art, its not like LKW, everything is so fancy. its more like a place to really pay attention on studies.
