you should apply your permohonan before you enter UMP
when PTPTN approve your permohonan, print all the documents (this one is during your degree)
send to JHEPA or PTPTN ppl that will come to UMP
you will only allowed to have your own transport from 2nd year onward, besides we have UMP kereta sewa.
but I think you should bring a car or motorbike after you finished ur first year
so far for me mechanical is a fun course, but cn give you gigantic headache at the same time

hi hsiungz,

welcome to UMP Pekan. believe your eyes ya. dont get culture shock =D

Expect some bizarre and exotic sceneries at Pekan Campus too!! Expect cows and goats...

do i get d chance to milk d cows n head ramming with d goats?
wat does chee mean with cultural shock??

you will know once u get there. embrace the nature there

You could try though, they aren't properties of UMP

im not exactly a city boy so i think i'll b fine, suddenly have an urge to ride a bull to class, so f-ing awesome
anyone tried tat b4?

you will be the 1st one =D

do we have any clubs or something in ump? never took part in anything during high school, i hope uni life wont b as boring :D:D

UMP Gambang has alot of active clubs compared to UMP Pekan. Won't be boring if you want to help out in your own race cultural clubs. :/

bummer~ can anyone rekomen hotels near pekan campus? i did some searching but most of them are in kuantan

Not sure my delayed post still able to help for you tho. But why you looking for hotels near Pekan? September intake freshies?

Just fyi Pekan is a rural area, nothing much to do over there, might just be visiting the museum.
Go for Kuantan hotels would be a much wiser choice since there are lots of interesting places and good foods around Kuantan. Meanwhile from Kuantan to Pekan campus just takes about 40 minutes.

yea, going to ump tis sat, registration on sun, just checking if thrs any hotel in pekan, very nervous, dont knw wat to expect when i start my uni life

Going on sat? A day earlier for campus visiting?
Im not sure is there hotels over there but even there is, it'ss gona be those very old and cheap hotels.
My advice, sleep well as preparation for orientation week a.k.a Minggu Induksi Siswa (MINDS).
It was a week of hell for my batch last year. mainly due to lack of sleep

my dad says dont wanna rush on sun cz we driving from kl, d orientation starts on sun evening rite? do i hv to register early? so far i heard i need to bring buckets, lock and wat else?

I cant really remember but if i not mistaken it does start on sun evening.
If you have friends over there, you two can gather up and register for same room mates. Otherwise u'll just get a random room mate. Register early and late doesnt really affect.
For me, i brought quite alot of things but basically all are daily necessities.
I'll can try list some down if you need.

o pls do list out! thanks alot!!
i think i dont hv anyone i know there but someone ramdom is ok too!

A lock is only for your wardrobe. but usually my roommate doesnt lock as we already locked our room.
I would rather recommend a laptop lock if you do have expensive laptops, there always been things stolen especially near end of the semester.

For electric appliances : kettle/ hair dryer (but u can always borrow your friends one if do get kind room mates)

Get a huge water bottle, those 5 litres above. This is because there is only 1 water dispenser for each block and they located at the ground floor. So if you do get 3rd floor which is the highest, its a hassle keep walking up and down just for refilling water.

If you spend a lot of time surfing the internet and gaming, get your own broadband
The best telco for broadband over there would be Maxis / u-mobile imo. With good location, I can get ping below 100 with a average speed of 4-5 mbps. The hostel do have free internet but youtube gets throttle badly, "jack sparrow" and *ahem* websites and game client are blocked. While during peak hours, facebook cant even load news feed

The hostel only have 2 AC power plugs and sockets. So get a multi plug extension cord if you need.

Washing machine are provide but you have to self-service. Bring liquid detergent because if powder type you need make them dissolve in water before use.

The place to dry your laundry wasnt well located, so mostly we dry our clothes by hanging them over the windows. If you has a lot of clothes, you might want consider portable clothes rack too.

For your information, the hostel are cement floor so they are quite rough. so you might want consider another pair of shoes for indoor / bath. Do remember bring an extra towel for wiping your wet legs after bath.

Btw, you can get some images of the hostel if you look over the UMP official facebook.

Hopefully information above are useful for you.

thanks bro! good to knw im not too far off, i think better to shop in kuantan since i going one day earlier anyway

np
anyway be ready to get shock with the location of ump pekan. deep in the forest
