Well because utar degree will be accepted in foreign countries such as US, UK and others so I'm planning to do degree there and further PhD overseas but if utp degree is also accepted I will prefer it for certain reason ...
P.s. um , usm or some others wasn't fully accepted by foreign countries if you wanna further your studies....

hi, did u take any english extra paper during ur a level? is general paper tough? can i know whether the university will really concern abt ur GP result? if i wanna study overseas, it is compulsory to take extra english paper right?pls help me..i'm so clueless now..

i took GP for AS level only. it's not compulsory, it's hard to score, and it's useless. regret taking it last time. if you wanna study overseas, you have to take ielts.

what abt stpm?if i take stpm instead of a level, is it mandatory to take ielts or toefl for studying overseas?

OMG! I have to register on 15th May...and I have something back in KL on th 17th-18th....Am I allowed to go back?? O_O It's suppose to be my 1st week in UTP though....

you can check the english requirement of the university you intend to go. mostly, overseas universities need ielts / toefl.

Orientation week is important. But, you are allowed to skip it if you have a good reason. I have friends who did that too.

I'll be going for orientation week but I have to be away for my diploma graduation 3 days of the starting of the semester

Bah! you won't lose much. Just give you full name and matrix card ID to your course mate so that he/she will help you to register for tutorials and labs. Cheers.

Okay dokay We all should have a LYN meetup in UTP

You organize then tell alright.

haha wait first xD slowly slowly masuk uni, then after settle down, we have meet up

may I know, do I have to apply for anything to stay in the hostel? and where to apply?

All done by them, since your a freshman and a girl, probably V2 or V3. My bet is on V2.

Just go with the flow.

EDIT: Tip, hostel no WiFi. So bring LAN cable and multi-plug extension cords.

LOL== hostel has no wifi???? bring LAN cable to coonect to where?

what is V2? V3?....and one more...how much is the limit of CGPA to achieve the first class honour?

WiFi has been problematic (seriously, if you get V6, bring broadband).
Hostel from V1 to V have LAN ports in the room. 2 ports, one for each student living in the room.
The rest of the Campus has WiFi, so don't worry.

V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 <- Hostels

V6 - Male only Hostel (freshman)
V2C - Start of the Female only Hostel Blocks.
V1 & V2 - normally for freshman
V3, V4 & V5 - normally for seniors

3.75 for First Class Honours. (It fluctuates at times)

oh, means on registration day, I'll only move in?

Yes. I think they gave you a shortlist of things to bring right? Make sure you bring those.

Tip, bring coins (old coins) and big water containers cause you can fill-up water by using the available water dispensers in each hostel. 10 cents per liter.

ok ...i heard ppl say we can apply for yayasan utp right? after foundation only can apply?

Yea, but Yayasan UTP only pays for 1 semester only. And it is hard to get cause only really needy people get those.
