hi i am now staying in sun u residence, yes its a bit 'old n dont looks so good despite its name condo'.let me clear all your doubts

1)Environment quite ok, there will be 'kakak' coming to clean the unit NOT your room every few days. Security yeah its quite ok with the access card system. comfortable or spacious err its ok but if you got tons of stuff then its gonna be very small space left

2)that i have no idea since i have no idea what kind of people they will put you with. from my experience, i have been getting mostly good housemates/roomates. only once i got smoker housemate n end up all the laundry got smoke smell

3)yes there is water heater

4)there is a water machine which dispense hot n cold water and its filtered

5)supposedly its not allowed according to official rules but shhhh ..... induction cooker yes,but dont get caught LOL

6)yes free 128 kbps slow dao ........, however there is an option 1mbps rm70/month or 512 at 60 or 50 cant remember. PPS is not block BTW lol

7)yes there is washing machine some unit got new nice ones from samsung or panasonic while some unfortunately got the old toshiba one(not really old erm 2008 model)

8)sunway shuttle bus n taxi is available at main entrance.taxi mostly dont use meter or depend on where you want to go then they may use meter,most importantly try to runding the price

let me add some more
9)there is a fridge pretty old one
10)some or perhaps all unit have TV dont expect LCD with astro just normal tv
11)convenience store downstairs as well as poolside cafe

well on the other hand sunway monash residence is wow stark difference perhaps coz its new
inside the room you get a small fridge n TV so according to some of the people that stay there most of the time you stay in your own room,unlike in sun u residence where we often sit in the living room n chat
with regards to internet monash residence provide 1GB yes4g free,if you want xtra pay more or use starbucks wifi
aircond is metered up to 180hr per month, excess usage charge more n free laundry up to 5kg i think 1wk since SMR no washing machine

7. laundry there is actually a cloth drying area actually n since its not enough we even bought our own clothes drying rack (imagine 3 people doing laundry the same day)
air condition switch on 247 also can but remember there is 550 cap per unit for electric,use more pay more
n if not in the room pls switch it off otherwise fine rm50 for electric wastage
library yeah sunway college library n also monash library if you dont mind the walk
about facilities in monash residence im not so sure but i think monash n sunway have a some sort of agreement that students from both monash n sunway can use facilities at monash n also at sunway

shoot out any question you have, n im happy to clear as much as possible your questions

having koreans or indonesian (indonesian chinese) as housemate/roomate was pretty ok though from my own experience

Many are there for fun and can be a nuisance talking n singing from 10pm to 2 am. Report to the 'top' to get it sorted out. Likely, they will move you to a different unit. Carol will be more than happy to assist.

Agree from my personal experience. They are here to enjoy and play but not study

anyway everything is depend on luck.if you are lucky you get good ones,if bad luck then get bad ones lol

yes Koreans,Indonesians.in fact quite a lot of Indonesians (perhaps 2nd largest population in sunway n monash after Malaysians)

what kind of advice n guidance? general advice:be careful wherever you are n dont get into the bad company

haha yes of cos you can bring outside food
gender segregation yes 1 block of girls only block, another block is mixed block.but usually it will be a all boys unit or all girls unit

helo there fellow sabahan.environment err its an ok place to stay
btw curfew hours not valid exam season n most of the time the guard dont care.at most fill in a late form

so far its like that only.maybe they just want to protect the under 18 students

its wired and you need your own cable.supposedly its 1mbps for you only,others downloading or streaming wont affect much

well its hard for me to suggest unless you can go and view the rooms in other private condo such as lagoon view.i think maybe stay in sun u residence for the minimum contract period of 3 months,and move out to others after that period if not satisfied with Sun U residence

yes its quite near but a bit farther than lagoonview and sun u residence distance to monash
but i would not recommend that place (environment and safety wise) unless you have a group of friends to accompany you when walking to that place
but some people said its quite good and cheap than lagoonview
