You can bring your stuff during registration day. They will give out rooms when you register.

The orientation week is kinda fun if you are the type who want to make new friends quickly. But I skip mine though

Welcome to UTP

Bring your own.

The room that will be given only has the basic furnitures - bed, study table, chair and cupboard.

Bring your own pillow too

Just some breaking ice and singing UTP and PETRONAS anthem

The activities are just for fun but there are some briefings that are related to academics (ex: how to read your timetable, how to choose tutorial and lab slot etc etc)

The facilitators will guide you through common students' life. Nothing heavy

You will be introduced to many clubs during MAS.

You can register for your preferred clubs during MMK (Minggu Mesra Kampus)

Np bro.

It is possible to change course because foundation programme for engineering is the same for all courses.

All engineering courses (mechanical, electrical, petroleum etc) will have to take the same subjects for foundation.

You can also change to IT/BIS. No problem at all.

Foundation is real easy. It is just like a vacation/honeymoon phase

Just don't miss any labs, assignments, quizzes and tests. Once you have good coursework mark, you will do well for the subject

For diploma,

Diploma in Relevant Field from a Recognized Institution
Pass a Diploma Program in relevant field from an Institution which is recognized by the Malaysian Government with at least a final CGPA of 2.00/4.00

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)

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

Np. You're in Jan 13 intake?

Bring your own

Can wear jeans, t-shirt, slipper also can (but lab must wear shoes)

No need collared t-shirt. It is not that strict for girls

But for guys, you will face the security guard if you meet them while not wearing collared tees.
