Just asking by, and I'm doing a favor for someone here, is there anyone here who stays at Vista Komanwel? How small is the small room of the apartment? If anyone has pictures to share of the interior of the apartments, especially the small room, it will be much welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a med student. Cant stand blood

Hey all^^ i'm planning to study bpharmacy in imu. i consider ucsi bpharm as well. personally i think both are equally good.despite the fact that imu bpharm charged higher fees than ucsi. i met the requirements from both unis. My parents definitely could not afford me to study MPharm.Can anyone kindly suggest me either to go for imu or ucsi bpharm?thank you so much

All I will say is this: IMU's Pharmacy program is more established than UCSI's. However, this does not imply any connotation to the quality of the program.

approximately 10 X 6 foot. i stayed there when i was studying in IMU. well the space aint the problem for me. It's stuffy and hot inside there. the room has a window, but the problem is that the window faces the kitchen and the balcony where you put washing machine in. well, i bought an aircon (split type second hand), hired a technician to fix stuff up. and that really solve the problem. if your friend is not a claustraphobic, things should be good. by the way, i paid RM 140 for that tiny room. sorry, no photos though

hey everyone, does the MPharm course in imu good enough??
Can i know the reputation and the comment from those who take this course. I found out most of the ppl said it is very suffer. Is that true?? Thanks a lot.

ohh seems like u are interested in pharmacy, well i'm not from IMU, but i do know that Bpharmers suffer lots more than Mpharmers, heard that Mpharmers in IMU not as stress as those Bpharmers, but that is another thing when Mpharmers study abroad in Strathclyde in the 2 yrs time there.

You're staying in the store room in the kitchen, no?

The other rooms are pretty much decent. The Towers have much better rooms compared to the Block 1 or 2 (same with all Vista A, B, and C). Block 1, 2 has the freaking small room which the window faces the corridor which IMO is yucks.

I stayed in C tower last time, middle room. The middle room is quite big, well to be exact it's width is not exactly the largest but its length would be more than enough. The master bedroom is quite small compared to the other rooms, but it has its own bathroom. The smallest room in Tower suites is in an rough "L" configuration but it's not a problem either. Sorry that I can't give you the exact dimensions since I've never measured it anyway.

In short words, try to get Towers instead of the others. And for me I'd rather get an unfurnished house. Furnished units are usually overpriced, but then again they are usually very well maintained. Unfurnished houses tend to look like typical "hostels" but hey, we're there to study not to live like kings, right?

I didn't do Pharmacy at IMU hehe, but my housemate did MPharm. MPharm is pretty much relaxing compared to BPharm. Last time BPharm used to have classes from early morning till late afternoons with relatively no rest in between, not sure whether it's the same now or not as IMU has changed damn a lot since I left. MPharm however is quite a 'condensed' course and most of them need to learn extra stuff when they go over to Stradclythe. That's what my friend said anyway hehe, but he has graduated almost half a year ago and he's doing fine now

Man, I still miss IMU... good old days.

Anyone from nursing course? I hope to hear some opinion about this course in IMU.

I'm not from Nursing, but my friend does.
She told me it's good, lots of hands on work.

maybe u want to be more specific on what kind of opinion u want ?

Ok. Can i know is the interview needed for most of us when applying this course?
Is it really only 20 ppl will be taken in each intake?
Is there any chances to be sponsored by any private sector?
How about the internship?

Sry for throwing so many questions to u as i hardly can find anyone from this course. Thank you very much if u can give me some information.

Yup, no problem for me. an air con fixes everything. well, i pretty much like it. which batch are you?

Gee...thanks for the information one more thing...is the passing rate for BPharm (each semester)is high?do many people fail(below 50 marks)?thanks ya

M104 hehe... you?

IMU is expanding its business. First they started the nursing course, then along came dentistry and most recently I heard that they are going to provide biotech stuff and nutrition etc.

hey just wondering how is a med student's life actually at imu?

Does anyone noes who is renting a room out? I'm new for d July intake tis year, but d hostel already full. so i really hope some one can HELP!!!

and i gotta ask this, if lets say i go for the twinning program to edinburgh, do i graduate with:

a) an MBBS from IMU?
b) MBBS (IMU-Edinburgh)?
c) MBBS (Edinburgh)

c

how's the teaching style at IMU? is it more towards lectures or PBL?? how is the quality of lecturers there? and lets say i wanted to twin with one of these unis, how tough wud it be to enter?

a) edinburgh
b) melbourne
c) liverpool
d) leeds

I don't know about the others but I read only five people from each intake gets into melbourne university

let's get one thing straight here......if you manage to get into imu (easy), and chooses the pmr option, you will not know where you will end up till late into your 5th (last) semester......so do NOT go in with ANY expectation of where you end up.......

as for the 4 places mentioned, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the hardest and below 4 being flunking out somewhere along the way in imu, it will be something like........

a. 8
b. 10
c. 5
d. 5

note this is NOT an indication of the ranking or quality of the uni, but the popularity with imu students......
