Do the students need to pay for parking fees even though they park at the hill there? I have to know about it because i will be enroll on july...

At the moment, IMU is giving the students free parking to park at the hill top. In the future, they will charge. But not sure when... cos the hill top was just recently built, so free parking for now.

You will need the IMU car sticker, so make sure you get it from IMU once you enroll.

Last time, parking was RM3.50 to RM5.00 a day. Got season pass also, but I can't remember how much. (I don't drive.. I know all this cos my friends drive hehe)

Oh ya, actually some students rent car parks in Vista Komanwel also. The price can range from RM40 a month up to RM70 or RM80.. you need to check the notices. This is good cos weekends also can park.. but if you won't be staying in Vista Komanwel, then I recommend paying for IMU's parking. Or just park by the roadside and risk the saman. (But to be honest, my friends rarely get saman also. Two years, maybe kena 2 or 3 times only haha)

Thanks for ur information. I never thought of the parking fees will be so exp. Anyway,will be convenient if i take lrt to reach there?

But it's RM3.50 for the whole day lah.some of my friends they call IMU = International Money University even though I study there too haha

It's convenient. The Sri Petaling LRT station (Star Line) is just right behind IMU. When you reach, just need to walk over the overhead bridge to cross the road, then you're there already. I think takes 2 or 3 minutes if you walk moderately fast.

What course are you taking btw?

IMU is offering biomed now? hmmm interesting

A lot of new courses are being offered by IMU. About 5 new ones I heard.. Haha.. But intake requirement pretty low for some courses..

around there have many rentable apartments and rooms, pay visit to the bulletin boards can help...or the uni bulletin board too

or take the contact list from imu's SAD
it helps

i am going to take the course, medical biotech, in imu...
i have no idea that how many student will be in a class..

M2/07's EOS2 resit result out
quite different this time
usually only about 25% will pass resit, now it's about 2/3 passing it
imu wanna earn more money perhaps?

Haha.. shouldn't it be, if more people fail (i.e fail resit) then they get more money? Cos then the students need to retake the whole semester.... eh wait, medicine.. fail means need to quit the course is it??

some will be forced to withdraw, some repeat sem 1, some repeat sem 2
but quite many of them who failed just left IMU la
my fren who passed resit condemned IMU's system of failing ppl
and compared it to IPTA which only a few ppl failed a batch. OK.....

Hmm...i think you shouldn't blame IMU if you failed.. in this case, your friend shouldn't blame IMU because your friend failed. I highly doubt they fail people on purpose.. not to be mean, but sometimes if you don't put in the effort, you fail. Happens, you know.

And IPTA, do you know how competitive the students are? The fact that they are even IN IPTA already shows how hardworking they are, so chances of them failing is obviously much lesser.. Cannot really compare lah, to be honest.

true enough
he(my friend), did not put in the effort, so he failed the exam, fair enough
i actually strongly disagree with his blame
as for IPTA's low failing rate, yes there are many hardworking students, but the actual reason is too sensitive for me to discuss here. you know i know la

actually, good med schools have a high initial failure rate, in spite of stringent selection process.......eg ucl in london also has a 20% 1st year failure rate, in spite of practically all students going in with 3a's.......it's a way of waking people up, filtering out those who are not interested.......these students, once they ramp up their concentration, will pass........those who lost interest will drop out.......

as for ipta, there is no need to be secretive about it.......the 'pass spectrum' is VERY wide, so hardly anyone fails.......those who got in on real merit hardly have to break a sweat to just pass.......that is a FACT......the trick is to get in, in the first place, that's the toughest part......
