HI! I've just finished my SPM last month and I'm trying to get some reviews/inquiries about UTAR Sungai Long campus. Just gonna ask questions for UTAR students

1. Are the lecturers good? (Good as in the way how they teach and all)

2. I heard some complaints that students said the library is too small for 20000 students ( roughly around that amount lol ). Is it true?

3. How is the environment like? I'm a banana myself and only knows some basic and simple Chinese. There is a lot of Chinese there but does majority speaks Eng or Chinese?

4. How early do you have to reach the lecture hall before class starts? I went to the info day and the lecturer told me thr's about 200.

5. Utar allows dye hair? And no short skirts and pants ryte?


That's all.

why not kampar?

My parents told me to choose a uni that is close to our area. could have choose ucsi but the courses are much more expensive than utar's.

lol, you choose by UNI not by courses eh.

I can only speak from a (former) kampar UTARian perspective.
1. Lecturers in UTAR is good, and know what they are teaching. Rarely you will get a clueless tutor/lecturer.

2. Never been to SG Long.

3. See 2. But in kampar, mostly we speaks chinese, and can speaks fluent english. (sadly though, some of the newer batch can even write proper english essay)

4. Be on-time for classes. This applies for all school in malaysia. 200? you mean 200 students per lecture? yes, main courses is that big.

5. Dye hair ok. No short skirt/shorts (longer than knee normally ok. but just wear long pants to class, dress to look smart and pro.)

also, as I recall, UCSI is more of creative industries while UTAR is more of business and science.

By course...? Do you mean like engineering?
Waoh it's gonna be a new environment. In secondary school,my class had only 30 students. I cant imagine 200 students in one room. If it is like elective courses, the amount of students vary?
I went to utar for info day and I was surprised to see some girls wearing short pants. I thought it is forbidden to do wear like that.

There are around 10000 students for UTAR Sungai Long Campus

lol pick UTAR because cheap? Seriously

Well...what to do. Help parents to save money tho.

so good of u to think like that.. unlike most children nowadays.. Spend spend like no tomorrow use parents money!

1 the lecturers are 7.5/10 depending on subject matter but overall professional and helpful -else you can complain to management
2 you should come visit the library and see for yourself instead of hearing what others see or hear
- small for some does not me small for you vice versa - important is that you have a good place to
sit down and do some serious studies and research - and here this is that place
3 you must come and see for yourself - you can visit our U anytime permitted and you need to
eval yourself not ask here at the lyn kiddies forum
4 this question should not be relevant to you at this stage - whatever the time you have to go
- this is not the US where you sukak sukak want to go go, don't want to go don't go
5 sorry this is Malaysia and dyed hair are NOT allowed. if you want to study and dye your hair too
come to this place to study

ok thanks

I wish my kids will say the same stmt to me

Which program are you planning on taking?

1. Most are quite dedicated and responsible.

2. About 8000 in Sg. Long but the majority in block B.

3. Most speak Chinese, but there are English speaking groups as well.

4. Halls can take up to 200 students. Common subjects will have up to 200 per section. More specialised subjects may only have 3-4.

5. No one really cares about hair color but they are getting strict on shorts.

Anyway, suggest you go there on a schooling day during the semester and wait for the elevator in the new building. Consider if you'd like to do it for 5 years.

I'm thinking of taking foundation in physical sc

That should be in the old building. Much better.

Btw, may I ask roughly around how much is the cost of food around the area of UTAR and also the food sold at the cafeteria in the uni itself?

Food outside is quite standard about RM5 onwards.

There's only a cafeteria in the old building. Don't think there are any plans for the new building. Never eaten in the cafeteria, so I can't comment.

okay! thanks a lot btw!

I just rmbr something. Are the girls allowed to wear dress? Cause my friend's brother told me that the dress code is very strict.
