like your attitude of thinking ~ optimism..give u a ''like'' cheers

HEY im a student going for mechanical engineering in utp during the january intake foundation 2013. may i know how are the holidays in the UTP? are chinese students allowed to go back during the chinese new year?.. or do we have to study even during the festive seasons?

What is the most recommended amount of money i need for my allowance?
Mostly like buying food,cloths,and stuff.

UTP do have holidays during public holidays. But don't expect long holidays, as UTP now is using tri-semester system, thus extra holidays are quite few. Even study week is less than 7 days.

Food in UTP is varies from less expensive to moderate. If you eat rice with few dishes probably cost you RM 5 per meal. UTP has Malay, Arab, Western.

Laundry machine RM 2/per use if I'm not mistaken.
Laundry service RM 2 per kg.

Stuff like stationary? Junk Food? UTP has groceries shop inside the campus. But if you have transport probably would be better go to Tesco Seri Iskandar.

Roughly RM 400 ~ RM600 per month is sufficient for average student.

Thank you for the reply

Btw do u they also sell clothes and electronics (like alam clock or flash lights or batteries) inside campus

If casual clothes nope. Clothes with UTP branded they do sell.

Yes, in UTP there is also 1 shop that sell computer peripherals (mouse, usb, lan cable). Shops at Village 5 residents.

Also can you tell me any advice or tips for a foundation student?

How much does casual clothes normally cost?

do we have classes on weekends as well?... wat time does the latest class end during weekdays?

Only credited cocurriculum courses (ex. gamelan, recreational etc.) are held on weekends.

Classes on weekdays vary with courses. Some courses like English offer night classes (ends at 10PM)

Blanket and pillow is not provided. Only mattress is provided. So bring on your own pillow.

I'm will be doing foundation ..and I have calculated that I need about 17k for the whole semester include the registration fee that is rm2750..does any of you know how to apply ptptn for foundation ? Feedbacks are much appreciated and I really need help..I'm not born with a silver spoon:(

Breakfast usually quite cheap. Nasi lemak/mee/mihun/kuetiaw costs MYR2 per plate maximum.

For lunch and dinner nasi campur (nasi+ayam+sayur) costs about MYR3-5 depends on cafeteria.

It is not expensive if you eat inside UTP. Most cafeteria offer reasonable prices to students.

So don't worry too much. Living expenses in UTP are okay

thank you again!

Np. You're in Jan 13 intake?

Yes

Hey, do we need to bring our own laptop to there or we can buy it at there at a cheaper price ( does they do promotion for university student ?
