but the registeration is closed already right?

want to ask, can someone holding sunway student card go into monash ?

anybody can go into monash...the most you have to do is to register yourself...

feel free to go in...

You know the economy is bad when Monash starts to place their banners everywhere.

Now they even resort to give out free iPads to attract people to attend their workshops. Oh boy.

There's too many tertiary options, college/universities are sprouting up like mushrooms, all with the single objective of cashing in on misinformed and confounded parents and students. When it comes to tertiary education in malaysia in this day and age, it's not about going to college or uni. Just take a look at the number of students taking up Bachelor of Business, which seems to be the default course. Using a business degree as an example, a lot of parents will then be looking at costs, and not so much the specifics of the course itself. I know many parents who do not really know what their kids are actually studying, and they are the ones who will fall prey to just enrolling their kids in any college/uni for the sake of a degree.

business degree is not cheap thou...i mean in monash...also need like rm33k for a year...o m geeeeee

looks like monash is getting more and more commercialized. although making $$$/breaking even is important, i believe as an respectable institution they have a standard and reputation to maintain.

I see no reason to generalise the entire student population into the category you present. Students that matter will be able to make informed decisions based on their own research as well as knowledge they obtain from specialists in their desired field. It is completely fair for universities to promote as they wish, it is true that many institutions operate with the main objective of making money, after all, it is a lucrative industry. This is irrelevant if you treat it as a form of exchange, in return for the quality of education which one will receive.

What is the purpose of the analogy of students taking up a course in Bachelor of Business? If it is targeted at the business course in Monash Sunway Campus, I welcome you to present other universities in Malaysia which can provide a significantly better recognised, complete and prestigious degree. Costs have always been a factor for tertiary education, however, it is safe to say that those studying in Monash are unfazed by some of the highest tuition fees in Malaysia. Obviously those enrolled in Monash are attracted by its reputation, course structure or recognition rather than a free ipad, even if they are unaware of the specifics of the course itself.

It is a competitive world and most professions will have more people taking the course than number of jobs available in the industry (doctors, accountants, engineers etc.). What matters is how they present themselves and perform which will get them their deserved position. "Misinformed and confounded" students will have a negligible impact on the true competition.

Sometimes when one gets too defensive, one misses the point. There was no generalisation, plus I was actually stating that when there's so many unis to choose from these days, there are many instances where Monash may be unfortunately bypassed because of higher fees. Who was dissing Monash?

Wait, monash is giving out free ipads or other unis are giving out free ipads? Cos other unis have been doing so for a long time, nothing new there. If monash, then thats news

Right, I thought that Monash was giving out the ipads which was referred to as confounding the parents and students. Ok, there was a misunderstanding, sorry for that. To be fair, it wasn't explicitly said that Monash stood out from the other institutions, not many parents take the initiative to fully research the courses their kids undertake. I feel that that is still the student's responsibility.

Anyway, peace bro. My bad, I'm sorry!

Yeah, would like to clear that up too...

Gosh, if only people could take their time and read properly.

I said Monash is giving out iPads to those joining their upcoming WORKSHOPS. And they are not easily giving it out...have to go through some competition or something, but you get my idea, a uni like Monash has to resort to give away freebies to attract attention.

i thought that was obvious
