Added on June 21, 2009, 4:45 amthere is no kitchen in an hostel room or house. they don allow us to cook food but sometimes rules are mend to be broken.
u can buy multi purpose cooker for cooking or share $$ to buy that cooker la. cook inside the room.
but don cook til too over la. or u can buy frm the cafe food. remember, there is no chinese food in ump. all malays food!
if u wan chinese food, u need go to gambang tapao. it is just 5minutes drive.

Added on June 21, 2009, 4:54 am1. if u wan to know the ratio in local uni, it is like malays 7/10, chinese 2/10 and indian 1/10. u go any local uni, it wil b the same.
but there are also a lot of students frm sabah and sarawak. if u think u can survive in the malays community, how bout me?
in my class, i m the only chinese guy and 5more chinese girls and 1 indian guy and 2 indian girls. the rest is bumi n malays.
ntg is possible, it depends how u communicate and how u bring urself wit ur friends. they are friendly and nice to mix wit.
even we frm different races, i alwiz play futsal wit my coursemates that are malays.

2. Mostly in ENGLISH but sometimes rojak.

3. Lecturers in the uni is friendly and alwiz helpful. they will try give u the highest as they can give.

4. No students frm ump allowed to stay outside and it is UMP POLICY. unless u r married.

That sounds bad... I'm not exactly the most physically fit type of person

You might also want to consider living costs (hostel fees/rent, streamyx bill, food, etc) if you were to study at SEGi college. Living at KL or subang jaya can be pricey (a really modest lifestyle needs about +/- RM 500 permonth while rental can would be RM 200 - 400 i'm guessing) but I must admit it is fun to be connected to so many shopping malls!
Another factor to consider is the dominant medium of language for everyday communication. Though like tuckchai88 said, if you carry yourself well, it shoudn't be a problem.

I can smell the santan already. They have good nasi lemak + rendang?

More questions for you seniors, thanks for all your help:
i. what are the living costs in UMP?
ii. favourite past times of the students?
iii. is it safe to keep laptop/pc in the hostel during orientation week?
iv. honestly- what is the crime rate there?
v. the closest supermarket with fresh groceries is?
vi. got pasar malam?

The answer is.. it depends la. but it wont run so far away frm my answer.
1. erm. for me the living cost is not so high. let say, 1day rm 10 is enough for foods and drink. lunch rm 4, dinner rm4 and mayb water rm 2 for lunch and dinner. so 1 month is rm 350 - rm 400 included u eat those snacks or sometimes call more food. personnely, i m not so ON or like to go movies, bowling, shopping (outing). btw, in kuantan the entertainment will b very less. so it save a lot of $$. so total living costs less rm500?

2. past times? guy like me when free will play computer games such as COUNTER STRIKE, DOTA and many more using LAN. students also watch movies in their external hardisk or drama. so if can, just bring as much movie as u can so u can watch durin free time. besides that, if u r active students, u can play sports such as tennis, basketball, futsal, netball, volleyball, ping pong n badminton every evening.

3. durin orrientation week, u will hardly online or have time in ur room. u will alwiz either in the hall to hear talks and bla bla.. but it would b better if u bring laptop lock and a lock to look in ur cupboard. normally 1st week not many ppl will buy laptop or bring laptop. u can bring pc too cos u can on9 24/7.

4. i m proud of the crime rate in the ump, even at 9 u walk in the middle of road or somewhere there is dark, u don have to worry.. ntg to worry cos no ppl will snatch ur handbag or PAO u. it is very very low crime rate. but the low low crime such as u will lost ur nice shoes, laptop or money if u dint take care nicely. a lot of students dont lock their bicycle cos no ppl will steal it. that is our tradition where ppl dont lock their bike when attend class.

5. there is no supermarket around ump. but there is some kedai sell groceries at Gambang (5minutes drive frm ump). if u wan go kuantan, u can find CARREFOUR, giant, n bla bla bla.. but i take 30minutes drive frm ump.

6. yes, there is a pasar malam near ump. if u drive, it takes 5minutes, if u cycle it takes 10 minutes, if u walk it take half hour. hehe.. it is on THURSDAY night.

Tis all is based on my opinion. so i might not b so accurate. anythin more?

tuck u forgot to add....UMP already hav their own pasar malam...at dataran mekanikal....
one

UMP has koperasi.....but the price is little bit pricey so i would suggest, u buy all thing u need when u go outing to Kuantan

in the 1st sems i'm in UMP i only spend RM5 a day.....RM2 for lunch and RM3 for dinner.....
in then 2nd sems i spend total of RM500 for the whole sems daily around RM 7 weekend dun eat much only weekday

wow. budget sia =X

u should see me in real life.... i tall and thin (not a nice combination)
the kafe food is not very "eye catching" or some say delicous....
i dun like to eat also....at home only eat once a day

Have to eat ler dude...

1sem rm 500? dat is gila budget.. very tight la!
one day i eat rm 10 cos i tall and big size. and i like to eat..
canteen food alwiz make me no mood to eat la and not delicious..
the food price is like almost outside food. example, nasi goreng pattaya rm 4. outside also rm4.
lord, when u goin back? i goin back sunday 5/7. duno sempat to tidy my house and room or not..

the pasar malam seems cacat la. one operate for 3 weeks or 4weeks oni then tutup ed.
duno they will continue or not cos i don think many ppl go. yala koperasi also quite expensive but sometimes still buy cos no choice. haha.

i think i will be going back 5/7 also....
i always eat nasi goreng daging for dinner....the kafe third from the right
only RM3...

i still dunno which hostel i should register....my fren said he has change me to kk1 block c10 already but when i check ump portal it stated i'm in kk4...

about food....kk2 kafe price is much cheaper than kk1/kk3 kafe..... at least tat wat i heard from my rumates

If I'm going to UMP, is it okay if I stay with my aunt? It's just at Kuantan.
If I stay in air-cond room, the RM455 doesn't apply as I need to pay RM1950. Not to say I'm born with silver spoon, but air-cond is a need to me because you'll see me sweating like no other = Cost of laundry + shirt will be higher than my air-cond.

SEGi whole fees will be RM 2,150. Others are all covered. I won't be staying in hostel since I'm staying not that far.

Besides, I would like to know how fast is the internet speed in UMP.

Because if I study in SEGi, I have access to my P1 Wiggy since that area is covered.

if u stay at kuantan, u need to take 30minutes to go ump and come back to kuantan 30minutes. total 1 hours plus.
sumore if u stay at kuantan, it is hard for u to do group discussion and group assignment.
u are not allowed to stay at outside ump once u r ump student. tis is the policy.

the speed in ump is slow, if more users, the speed will drop. btw, u cant dwl movies or torrent. they block it.
i m sorry to tell u dat, air cond room is not for local students like us. it is for international students frm china, arab, n master students.
even u have the $ but u cant get it. in the uni got washing machine, rm 2 for a big loads of clothes.

Aw... That's too bad.

Thanks tuckchai88 for the information.

no prob. so wat ur decision? SEGI or UMP?

Most probably I'll go SEGi since I pay less for the course (100% tuition fee waiver), less time taken (3 years for SEGi), more exposure to Computing Stuff since I'm in KL area as in more access to certain technology such as wimax.

However, if I go to UMP, I can meet you guys, more research can be done. I deeply love computing... The UMP course offered is a good one.

got my friend..her house near ump..so she juz stay at home and come to ump before class start..sometime she stay at her room at hostel if she want to since fee for hostel was paid every sem..

erm.. i wan ask tat in the UMP thr gt wat ATM de ??
i mean in the UMP

ump inside got bank islam and bank muamalat. only two atm machine oni. if outside, that means it is at petronas petrol station got maybank. but it takes 5minutes drive.

regarding toilet, it depends which kk (kolej kediaman) u stay. if u stay at kk1, each floor got 1 toilet but the toilet got 4 rooms 2bath n 4 rooms to DO BIG BUSINESS. kk2 is each house got 2bathrooms. both also can do big n small business. kk1 and kk2 is oni for guys. now 60% kk1 is for girls. if kk4, i duno cos it is new hostel.

which banks have branches in kuantan town?

i don't mind cleaning the toilet, as long as my roommates pitch in too. dunno which one is worse: messy roommie or finnicky one?

kk3 is open to girls right? how many people would be staying in one apartment? i got confused reading the back few pages... is it 4 people in a room or 4 people in an apartment? how many rooms does the apartment have? what in the world does kk2 / kk3 look like? @_@

and, how would a freshie normally get assigned to a hostel room? is it possible for us to choose?

ack... sorry for bombarding you guys with so many questions...

tuckchai88, The bidang for project management is Bidang pengurusan? i quite confuse when i see the panduan. And how i pay the fee? by bank in?

there is 3 type of hostel in UMP
1>like apartment call kk1 and kk3.....kk3 reserved for girl....it has 4 floor....each floor has 1 toilet consist of 4bathroom and 4bisnes room (fogot wat to call) ....................each floor hav 12 room i think....each room 4 student
2>like a house....each house has 4 room and 2 bathroom....each room 2 student......this is called kk2
3>like a dorm....it was a a shop and converted to become a dorm....call kk4....dunno much about this....next sems will be open

for KK1 and KK3 the toilet will be clean by cleaner.....for KK2 u must clean by urself....dunno about KK4

i dun hav picture of the hostel maybe u can see at UMP website...
