Anyone satisfied with their room in cyberjaya? I'm now on mutiara ville, bottom floor everyday playing games, move things, throw things, sometimes yelling from 6pm to 6am.. crazy. Police went with guns before, still the same. My friend in cyberia is experiencing similar issue, 3am turn disco music loud. I'm currently looking at cyber square studio room, i suppose studio room will lesser party overnight? anyone really satisfied with their room? I never had to worry these in melaka.. crazy here

I'm from Diploma Malacca in IT. Now in Cyberjaya for Degree.

1. You want diploma or degree? Diploma will teach you how to do it, meaning, doesn't care your process as long as you produce something. Degree will teach you how it is done, meaning, even you done it the process is important. It is quite updated, I wouldn't say fully updated, but some lecturers really push their syllabus to the latest one. For lecturers, I would say 1 out of 16 do not know what they are teaching at all, like sticking to 10 years old knowledge, which is acceptable, based on my experience.
2. Lecture hall is OK, sometimes too cold. Wifi is improving. Cafeteria cannot, totally cannot for my taste. In Malacca there are LOTS of food nearby campus but in Cyber isn't, you probably have to drive at least 10km away to get good food.
3. I do see lecturers often borrow new books and interesting books but when I go to visit the library there just super old books. I've seen lecturers borrow some books like cryptocurrencies (considered new) and few books that costs RM250+ in kinokuniya but I didn't find any in library yet. If you search for them you should find them.
4. rounded T shirt is ok, jeans is ok, slipper they close 1 eye in Cyberjaya. Malacca is much stricter than Cyber.
5. Cyber is expensive, idk about hostel, outside is quite expensive. If you have car I suggest live far a bit, will save you a lot of money.
6. Depend on what IT you want to learn.. it's like asking, a student wants to learn more about food, but in food you have cooking, frying, baking all those. need to be more specific. If you really want to prioritize fun and make studies as secondary I recommend Malacca, club is much more active there. MMU malacca, a lot of places to go, in Cyber I think not really, have to go far a bit, but closer to KL is easier to attend events.
7. I didn't regret, it is pretty good for it's price. I mean, you will hear a lot of complaints here, but we didn't pay for price of MIT students.. if you have rm600k budget going overseas definitely good exposure and experience, for limited budget mmu is good. 1 thing i really satisfied is toilets here is really clean. Remember, if you wanna ask something here, straight to the lecturer, don't listen to seniors.

phone them. iirc I got mine within a week.

Software Eng. here. I think you shouldn't decide first as you haven't learn the foundations of computer science, you might not have idea about what are those. My advice is ask lecturers what are those before you choose it. I heard mis-leading informations from seniors and even some of my friends picked the wrong one (not what they really liked).

So far the lecturers I met do not read slides. Some explains until you know. The current problem I met are more on not-so-straightforward slides than quality of lecture. Facilities wise, 1 of the lab is having i7 8700 16GB ram and nvme ssd, some are still upgrading. Lab internet speed is fast (Usually 100mbps, hardware limited) but wifi still needs improving, need login and those every time.

My specialization must understand what is it with practical example, else just plain memorizing words. Some lecturers are very deep researchers and might forgot we students do not understand what are the terms, in this case, you must ask, else you go home and don't understand what are those at all.

I don't think there are 'difficult subjects', it's all depend on a person. With new syllabus they are killing memorizing technique really hard, like you even need to explain to lecturers what you wrote to get attendance.

Cyberjaya. Melaka do not have Computer Science in Software Eng.
Frankly speaking, based on what I see, for pure academic aspect I sees Cyberjaya is much better. (In my field)

Why do you mind the amount of Chinese when you only come to trade the knowledge? It doesnt really matter unless you want to get really close activities with classmates such as halal stuff. I as Chinese myself have seen lots of non chinese students much passionate and knowledgeable than the chinese.
There is amount of Chinese like 30% but Melaka is like 90% chinese to me.

Well SE in Malaysia actually hardly finding lecturers who understands the theories practically, you can only try to pick those not reading the slides. I think we have a MIT grad here teaching a SE subject. (SE major have 4 subject so you had 1 by MIT grad and the other 3 try ur luck). The fundamental fields like OS, Architecture, networking, algorithms are fine, i can fully understand them only attending the class even without reading at home myself.

Contrasting to INTI, i think INTI having a major called mobile development? Comparing to SE of course SE kind of major is much atas than that. In this case i will recommend MMU.

Yes I used to have that mindset, but now when everyone aims for the same assignment milestone it doesn't matter. Like even you can speak native chinese with ur teammate doesnt mean he/she will reply ur whatsapp asap sometimes work with other race is even easier. Just to let you know that. There is fair amount of Chinese to work with if that is your concern.
Yes diploma in Melaka and degree in Cyberjaya.

1. I find in ibilik / facebook page. Ideally to have a car, even small old kancil or motorbike will benefit alot. Try to find those without contract so you can look around.
TBH I don't feel cyberjaya is a nice place to live, but academics here is much better so I choose here instead of Melaka campus. I really miss melaka where 1 minutes can reach cheap and nice breakfast. If you have transport you might want to look around in sri kembangan / dengkil / kajang.
Depends where you from tho. If you used to cyberjaya kind of place would be fine for you. Quite subjective. If you are from KL and just finding a place to stay and go back on weekend then cyberia is fine.

2. Find one without contracts so you can move anytime. Students here are ok, but there is a lot of... ahem. They yell and party loud in the midnight if you were unlucky.

3. You can't change. Most people take better picture and paste at the plastic cover so when you put your ID in it looks nice

4. If it is unspecified, in the campus you can wear Tshirt. Just make sure with long pants.


I would say ignore confessions tho.
Those people speak without the need of taking responsibility of what they had spoken, I don't think it's worth to take serious considerations. Just read and pass.

You can come without your parents from the first day to the last day You are already university student.

Can't comment on hostel inside MMU but in average condo in Cyberjaya is considerably bad. I see lots of seniors lecturers live in puchong, sri kembangan, kajang etc.
Most of the time you hear a lot of *ahem* people talking loud in the midnight. You can get a nice one if you are lucky though, I have one friend got one very cold and silent. Thats why I recommend new comers must find one without contract.
Cool part about cyberjaya is you can access to TIME fibre, RM149 for 100mbps and 3ms ping to 8.8.8.8

Now I let you know what I see in Cyberjaya (Might not facts, just what I see), not MMU. It is a place where everything is overpriced. This is how it works - The IT industry wasn't so strong when mahadir established the Malaysian's silicon valley, but the investors goreng the price really high because it's silicon valley, however it doesn't worth the value. The government want to make here a nice place thus invested a lot of money in cities planning like nice roads and designs (You see grass here are actually very well maintained). Dedicated police force here (You see a lot of police here). To pay those maintenance, those high price are needed. But what those price offers are not much, no local foods (I meant not enough, just 1 or 2, and they are not nice imo. I often drive to dengkil or sri kembangan to have cheap and nice local food, like RM5-RM7, I would pay RM15-RM17 if they were in cyberjaya but even in cyberjaya RM17 can't get those taste), no pasar pagi / malam (afaik), no jusco/tesco (have jaya gorcer), even in 'silicon valley' we don't have an IT mall. So, everything became expensive and don't actually offer the convenience.

I live here because the academic environment is really much better here. I have few friend taking same subject in melaka, I finished my final and go teach them. They don't even understand what their lecturers told them but few sentences from me they fully understand in few seconds. The students here also much passionate than what I see in melaka. Don't get me wrong, there are good ones in melaka, just what I averagely sees.

Living wise, can't compare with melaka. Melaka was one of the best place I ever live even compared to overseas such as UK, Japan or HK. Everything is so near and cheap, convenient and safe. Complete silent in the midnight.

You can look for facebook cyberjaya/mmu groups or ibilik
RM450 in cyber can only get small - medium room, however if u stay far abit can get larger medium room

1) there are some including me walk alone, don't feel weird about it, be yourself, just don't ego and you will be good
2) try join clubs, they have ice breaking sessions that help you to make friends. Friendly seniors in the clubs will talk to you aggressively too
3) you can join for pointers or just for fun, they aren't like co-co's during your high school, you can even join them just for personal reasons, don't have to be officially written in the computer system that you are one of their members.

I think your best bet is to find LAN ports around the campus. I get 100-300Mbps depending on which port.

Cyber clubs are much silent than Malacca ones. You might have to contact them personally through facebook page or such.

Anyone tried to do their lecture kaw2 through the AES in group? Something like over 80% of the students give 1 star rating

err i dont think it's good to talk about too detail here, the main issues is
1. over 90% of the students cant understand the lecture.. i been first class since diploma until degree, and this is the first time i get blank understanding on what is the lecture about.
There was a case where almost entire class can't understand the concept for 1 hour and I go home google then understood in 5 minutes.
2. assignment guideline unclear and keeps changing. this is the first time too, getting 'stranger emails and whatsapp (our classmates, you know we don't make friends with the entire class)' to ask about the assignment which never happened to me before.
3. sometimes really mean to students.. if there is a student that is offensive in class who doesn't care about cgpa will surely confront.

I was thinking to drop this subject on week 3, which is late anyway, but i try to getting used to it. Now i'm in trouble. the lecturer somewhat nice when talking one to one but I can't understand the content. I met my academic advisor and my advisor said that if no one understand but i managed to understand myself I will be in big advantage.
