Hi, how is the course of Master of Business Information Systems at Monash Malaysia?

Worthwhile to do?

What is it all about?

Hi, I am taking Engineering for October intake in Sunway campus.
I have a friend who is staying at SS15 and he has a room to rent. I am wondering whether I should take the offer or not.
Do you guys think it actually makes sense to walk from SS15 to campus everyday? Walking will take about 0.5 an hour.
Or are there any other transportation alternatives?
Or this is stupid and I should stay in campus accommodation?

nope.. no way walking in msia...

take up campus stay in the first year..

To get from SS15 to Monash I don't think only takes half an hour, plus it's not that safe to walk there, you would have to cross busy roads, roundabouts, and some secluded area. Imagine the weather + carrying your laptop/books.

I think SS15 rent prices are quite similar to Sunway area (... both also high lol) + personal opinion SS15 not that safe, so might as well stay closer, can wake up later for classes and can enjoy campus life & activities better. Unless you drive then you can stay further la.

guys.. i heard the brt is expensive...

Maybank? Mana Maybank?????

Yes. Convenient but burns your wallet. From the station nearest from my house to Monash is 2.70bucks.

i thought in campus?

is the station aircond? anything at the station like convenient stall?

Station is almost like the LRT station, just with no train tracks and a way narrower boarding platform.

so just a station? no 7-11 or food stalls or anything like that?

Nope

msia really dont know how to build infra

In my opinion, if you're unsure of which major (economics, econometrics, finance, accounting, etc) to specialise in, then the Bachelor of Business & Commerce would be suitable due to the 'breadth' of topics covered by the course. However, if you want to cover the 'depth' of a particular major (say Finance), a B.Com would be preferred as you'll get to learn more advanced topics of your major in B.Com than in B.Bus & Com (provided if you perceive advanced knowledge=advantageous). Do take note that the B.Com's entry requirement is significantly higher than that of B.Bus & Com and the areas of study for B.Com in Sunway campus are very limited. In terms of job opportunity? It really depends on your personal quality upon graduation, I don't think the employers in Malaysia have a preference in either, but there could be exceptions as well.

Think Monash Msia have scrapped B. Commerce programme ?

skip nottingham, join monash

Agree. In terms of ranking, accreditation, and campus location, monash 3-0 nottingham. A no brainer choice.
