prepare urself to get up early in the morning....if ur class start at 8 a.m...u must be wake up at 6 a.m....take bus at 6.30 a.m 
prepare ur mental to commute everyday to UMP Pekan....the journey roughly take around 1 hour one trip 
the busses are not like tranasional @ plusliner bus....so u will be sweating a lot 
u must be really fit to become mechanical student....if ur class end at 5p.m u will felt really tired when u got back 
if ur a muslim....be prepare to berbuka puasa on the bus 

i hav a lot more story to share....but i think it's better for u to feel it urself first hand 

anyway....do u choose UMP?...or izzit ur last choice?
if u got better offer dun go to UMP
