nazq is your senior BBA Logistics.
And myself is your former ketua blok in DPP Bank Rakyat. Both have grad already though.

Yes iron is not provided. There is just a basic room (with single bed + cupboard + study table). Everything else bring them yourself (blanket, extra pillow if u want, pail, toiletries, extension plugs, lots of coins for washing machine and water, electric kettle, broom, umbrella, etc).

Pls note they dont allow you to cook inside the dorm (if you pandai to hide the cooking stuff, possible).

Entering UUM, bear in mind that you will need to wear formal, even to the clinic. And since the main campus is quite big, either you bring a motorcycle or your legs will develop fine muscles from walking haha.

Internet so-so. I was last there 3-4 years back, things could have changed, who knows. It's only good when people gone back for sem break or past midnight.

good thing extension and electric kettle is allowed ^^/ ... back in my matric days, they always do spot check stuff and once they found it, they will throw this stuff from 3 floor gg, need to prepare then ... any more advice for item for me to bring? Need to prepare some entertaiment since uum is university in forest right
i think i will take the bus bcause there's no way i will bring motorcycle from slangor to kedah ... it is a looong journey, sad life >.T

not sure if i should be happy or not to get bank rakyat as dpp, i research it a bit and find more cons than pros ... from what i know, this dpp is calm place and aways from noise but i heard the bus system is not really good, always pack with people in the morning and cafe menu is limited anddd this dpp is outside campus, hope i will not always ponteng haha ... sorry if i wrong yaa o.o

btw hello senior o//
Still new to this add and drop system since this is my first time in U , so may i know what subj u take in first sems bcause many blogg said first sems u need to study hard and score perfect

A pail and brush are wajib. You wont know if there's situation where you will need to hand wash your clothes. Pack of foods, extra set of ties (if you're a male). I stayed there with basic necessities, no issue.

Bus is always a problem, get use to sardine situation. Always wake up early. You will need 80% minimum attendance to pass, so you cant always ponteng.

Regarding subjects: 1st sem you wont have much difference than other business courses students. My advice: Dont always follow your friends, what they take may not be suitable for you. You know your strengths and weaknesses in subjects, so adjust the subjects that you take for that. I hated business math but law subject was easy for me.

What i did was to mix easy and hard subjects in every sem. Full 7 subjects per sem, because i dont want to burden my final sem later on. This also was a precaution in case i failed any subjects, because you will need to retake the subjects in the next semester (but thank goodness, i never failed any)

Freshies who dont know anything will just take whatever subjects assigned to them in their 1st sem, but dont do that. Remember my advice above.

Oh let me add survival tips

Choose your assignment groupmates well, because having someone who doesnt do shit in the group is a pain in the arse. My own experience, group of 4 but only 2 doing the assignment and i have to check the whole stuff + content + english by myself.

Go participate in societies/clubs and get hold of leadership positions. I know it helped me get an internship in petronas last time.

Dont be langsi to anybody, be good, because you will be facing the same people in 3-4 years of your life there.

Okay senior. Thanks for the tips

hirano's advice is very spot on, so just take it into consideration.

As for Logistics & Transportation/BBALT, I believe the course structure is different now compared to when I enrolled back then so I'm not aware for any new requirements and such. Back then, Transport Theory & Practice is prerequisite before taking further logistic subjects so try to ask if it's possible to enroll in your first sem.

Also, for BBALT it will be recommended if you're registering for CILT and enroll in Ejen Kastam course as an add-on before you grad, which I believe the lecturers will brief you all about it later on.

BBALT lecturers and classes is enjoyable for me back then, so I hope you'll get a similar experience.

Anyway, welcome to UUM and do enjoy yourself there. A bit sad that you've to stay in Bukit Kachi though
