I think it's not a big issue. You should be more afraid about them blocking (or throttling) file host websites (mediafire, hotfile, bitshare etc.) or p2p more.
Maybe you can consider plan from Maxis, Digi etc. instead. Mobile, you can use it everywhere.


Not sure about U21 exchange (never heard of it in this campus). Exchange programme is more competitive, but with decent results, you should be able to go.


1A for 1119 is sufficient. Inform the admission office about your result and you should be exempted from taking IELTS.



Just board. Even when kena check ID, show him the I-am-a-new-student face and says "I am new student". At this period, it's easy to cheat like that.


Big deal for off-campus. Unless you stay in TTS5, else you'll need to walk for quite some distance to other TTS from the uni bridge (the link of campus to TTS). If you don't want to walk, then you'll have to rely on the bus to travel from your room to uni - and that is inconvenient if you need to work until very late! And you need to wake up slightly earlier to catch the 830 bus for 9am class.

Added on April 18, 2012, 10:59 pmYes. Their logic is, the "one year" they mean is calender year (12 months) instead of academic year (9 months). Thus, you'll have to spend THREE semesters on-campus. Since on your 3rd semester, you are half way through your Year 2 already, they will just allow you to stay for the 4th semester - takkan ask you move on middle of the year meh. But then I am not sure as with the growing demand of on-campus spots, the management may be even more *******. Yeah, stupid thing I know. Just be prepared and ask properly before you decide to go on-campus though.

And to clarify about exchange and transfer thingy!

Exchange is the harder choice, you need to be at 60% to qualify and you can spend at most 2 semesters in the sister campus. I was told that some courses only allow 1 semester, but I don't know which course! Spots are limited and you need to work hard to get it shall the number of applications exceed the available spots. For the past few years, the allocated spots for engineering students are not fully filled up - but this may change for the increasing number of students now.

Transfer, as I see it, is a lot more easier. Spots are limited, but by your money. As long as you have 55% (or maybe even lower also work) and enough money to pay for your tuition fee for the remaining years, you'll be able to do the transfer. Exception goes to those courses where it's only offered in Malaysia but not the UK campus (e.g. Mechatronics).
It is to be noted that there is some sort of tuition fee reduction for transfer students. For engineering students, you may be eligible for a 2,000GBP (or 1,000? Forgot already) reduction for your tuition fee annually. As far as I know, reduction for subsequent years are based on your academic result there already.


All these are my observations, could be wrong, or outdated when you are reading it. And cases I cite are/were true for engineering students only, might or might not be applicable for other faculties.

its true. for what i noe for student enquiries. and THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!

I want to ask something from you who study in UNIM. Hope you can help me here.

I believe that UNIM will provide you with an ID card, right? Can I know what is the function of ID card. Can it be used for ATM, TnG, etc? what is the function of ID card?

Can someone kindly post me the ID card picture? You can blank whatever that is not necessary. Thank you

The card is only every used for 4 things:

1) Identification
. (the only time you will really ever need to use it is during examination, you can use you IC also though.)
. (other times, the guard usually won't ask for your card, not sure about sport complex facilities)

2) Photostat-ing
. (Near the photostat machine is a small electronic box where you tap you card on top of it.)
. (it will then display your credit and deduct if as needed)

3) Borrowing books

4) Shuttle bus

Thank you very much.

MARA is for Malay, if that's not clear to you.
EDIT: So just apply ahead if you are one.

It's a compulsory subject that you must take if you are a Malaysian and are doing your studies in an institution located in Malaysia.
