Support sikit...

School: Mechatronic
Course: biomedic
Intake year: 2007/2008 (diploma intake)
year of study: degree - successfully graduated; MSc currently

Hi, offering some help here, although my info might be a little outdated since I graduated last year.

Good news for chinese students, chinese food especially zap fan is darn cheap here, you need to know the right place though.

I'm not sure about microe, but in my case (biomedic engi), our course and even syllabus is a little different from UM's (comparing with a friend studying there). I can't explain precisely, but the notes he forwarded me was partially useless at that time because our syllabus was totally different although the subject was the same.
For diploma holder, they can exempt some of the subjects which we can't, yet we can skip 1st year and they can't...

Dip student automatically jump to 2nd year, but still will join the orientation and 7 pillars* with your intake.

It depends if you wanna start from 1st year, I think is possible, try ask your lecturer or RPS*. In my case, i think is kinda waste of time if you wanna start from 1st year bcoz the 1st year subjects are very fundamental. Anyway, even though you can jump to 2nd year, you can't exempt all first years subjects (transfer credit from your dip transkrip). The decision of exempt the subject or not depends on your dean and programme chairman. I had to take 2 first year subjects in final year bcoz of this, and quite a pain in d a$$ la.

* You will know what i'm talking about once you get in.

Some of my lecturers prefer the dip/poli students more bcoz we are more mature and 'steady'...

Yea some course's dip student is very busy, bcoz they have more core subjects to carry than we do.
7 pillars is nothing in term of 'packing' up the schedule, it's just a redundant pain in d a$$ activities that we kenot skip. But wajib course, YES!! That's the subjects that drag my pointer

actually i love titas the most, it was the only 1 wajib i got A, others were B and below... FML

there's one public swimming pool in kangar, rm2 for weekdays and rm3 for weekends, open from 4-7, but usually a lot of ppl...
another one is Putra Palace hotel swimming pool, but i nvr swim there, so dono the rules n regulation.

sat and sun is weekend here

if uni activities, there's few 'compulsory' to join; biggest non-academic activities would be movie/drama sharing and online gaming

co-cu yes, 1 credit hour

me

haha been there done that Luckily no diarrhea all the while eating the 7 pillars rice. After that are all the boring ones liao, enjoy...

Some dirty secret to share... I hope no unimap admins are seeing this...

Cooking - Actually you can 'secretly' bring in the cooking utensil eg rice cooker to cook, if you dare enough to break the rule like us. My housemates cooked spagetti, keropok lekor, a whole course of dinner during puasa with rice cooker But u must remember to hide it during spotcheck, especially those staying in wang ulu bcoz I heard their spotcheck very very strict.

My previous neighbor even brought in the whole set of dapur: gas stove, gas tong, wok etc...

Car for first years - Not really sure what is the main reason that first years are not allowed to bring in vehicles. If talking about accident, the senior years are involved too, so that cannot count. Anyway, u can borrow your senior's name to apply sticker for your car/motor, if your senior is agree with it.

Internet security - I agree with the hacker thing. A friend successfully hacked in unimap system and looked through our results He didn't cause us any harm lah, he pointed out bcoz the system's security is very weak, not hard to hack in. So, just careful. So far no problem on my side yet...

u're one year my junior? Biomedic? There's only four of u woh...

Yes I am, under prof yusoff

not bad ah still above 3

so far nvr caught fire la, since we use rice cooker
asalkan semua orang bahagia sudah...

Please be reminded that you have to 'share' public transportation to Perlis with UiTM, UUM and politeknik students too, so make sure you purchase the bus and train tickets earlier, especially those from Pantai Timur...

Some precautions advice to the peeps coming to unimap soon: well it has been raining A LOT lately in perlis, us the 'traumatized' ones worry about worst case scenario - flood.

So, while packing your stuffs, make sure to bring along umbrellas.

Welcome new students! Today Kangar is very jam!!

BM easy!? I don't think so! hate it the most!
For me the easiest one is TITAS since the spot questions all kena!! And the only wajib i got A. Others were like A- and less

image processing and classification

oh ok sorry research block... medical

prof yusof from mechatronic

Why don't we take this into PM shall we?

Worst part is, since the whole place (all of those hostels) cannot accommodate so many students, why there's more and more intakes every year!? Pity the students who stay at the nonsense hostels like the shoplots

That's nice to hear you enjoy the stay :)Most of the stories I heard are sour ones, about the rooms don't have doors but curtains instead etc.

Lucky me more! I stayed at Kg. Wai 3 years straight (diploma, skipped first year yada yada)

I heard my friends said the room there is spacious and very comfy (and NEW), so no worries. But, it's actually in the middle of nowhere, so I'm not sure if they arrange buses to Kangar or Changlun or Jitra (Kangar I think sure got lah, but other places i not sure)

According to Wiki, KKA is in Pauh
Didn't know KKA was 'shifted' to Pauh lol... nearly had a joke on myself
KKA used to be at Taman Aman, Bintong/Kangar area, now I think they reserve for international students.

Last time KKB,C,D,E were in Kg. Wai, but no more... 往事只能回味啊
