welcome aboard!
you need to know:

1) your place of stay will be provided by uni until you grad
2) UniMAP is dubbed as "U need MAP" since it is everywhere in Perlis. Not all courses will be done at main campus, however your course IIRC is at main campus. I think the teaching there quite typical uni style; you go in lecture hall, lecturer open slides then teach. every month or quarterly there will be quizzes or short exam.
3) Life as a student there was so memorable. Throughout the years you will spend your time alongside villagers, paddy fields, assortments of foods locally or from thailand. During my time as first year student, we got a program where we were adopted by villagers for 4 days. so during that time you will spend time at village with your adopted parent and "siblings". Go fishing, go paddy field etc. Very memorable. some of my friends keep the adoption relationship even after the program.
4) Talking bout life, nearly everyone in UniMAP are engineers-to be. so you can expect everyone generally got good manners. no ragging here so no worries.
5) Facility is good but refer my point #2, some places you need to find transport. We got buses in and out from campus to students apartments, buses to Kangar. Your apartment will be 3 bedroom 2 bathroom with 8-9 ppl inside. Except college inside campus, one of the college is dorm style.

I think thats it to say. dont hesitate to ask since in here got many seniors even more senior than me.

btw Im from manufacturing eng, 2012-2016.

east? I am Sarawakian after all, totally understand what u feel. No worries, since there will always buses available to go class. be prepared 30-60 min earlier at bus waiting area. also got buses to Kangar town.
if u wanna drive, there are lots of rental companies there, besides students renting their cars out.

during my time we all got VC personal phone number. so everyone din dare to mess with everyone. i think right now also shud be no issue after all. never heard unimap students being ragged.
