Hello, this is my first time posting on lowyat so not really sure if it's the right thread to post in.
I just have a few questions regarding MMU Cyberjaya
I just registered for this year July 2020 intake, at first I was planning to go for November but people said it was a bad choice to go in November, so I made a last minute decision to go in July. Thankfully it's all online since I'm living abroad and my last minute decision might make me live out on the streets.
1) How has the online learning been so far? Is it doable and how will the exams be? If anyone can share any tips to help for exams or something, I'll be most grateful. (but I don't know when it is loool)
2) If I go there next semester (April), where will be a good place to stay? (Is there some place which is walking distance and safe) How is the living environment in Cyberjaya and can I go to Bandar Sunway often? And is there a lot of food to buy there? What is the approximate budget per month for food and place?
3) How hard is the Computer Science course? I have no background in Computer Science before as I took Physics, Maths and Chemistry in my Alevels. What does the majority of people choose for their specialisation?
I heard a lot of people say it's not easy to graduate from MMU and I just wanna know how hard is it? In my class, I'm just usually an average student but I took a gap year after Alevels soo may be a little rusty but I'm willing to learn. I also heard that people going to Japan or Korea for their internship, how hard is it to make it a reality?
4) What are the ratio of girls to boys in Computer Science? Is it easy to make friends? (I feel like I'm being a little bit paranoid here). I'll be going to Malaysia all alone and I don't have friends in MMU Cyberjaya so I'm feeling a little bit scared.
5) Last but not least, I heard that MMU has dress codes, if so what it is?
AND IF THERE IS ANY TIPS YOU GUYS CAN GIVE TO A CLUELESS FIRST YEAR STUDENT? (be it making friends or what to do in class etc) haha, thank you so much.
Hahahha bandar sunway is minimum 30 mins away from Cyberjaya and you know traffic in sunway is not for human to drive, dont think u can go there often without being stressed
