Hi. So UPU just opened today and I've yet do to my permohonan. I was an SPM 2018 candidate and I plan to apply for a foundation programme at a public university. Ever since form 4 my interest has always been in maths but my mum strongly suggests that I take either engineering/accounting/architecture instead of pure maths because they offer greater prospects in terms of career and salary. The thing is, I don't think I will enjoy any of them (judging from what I've read online) and I already dislike architecture.

Also: My mum wants me to go to IIUM because unlike other public universities IIUM actually guarantees an on-campus accommodation for their students throughout their years of studies

So..what do you think? Should I just trust my mum's judgement?

I'll address your first issue. Since you do like maths but at the same time, need a career path that would satisfy your mother in terms of prospect and salary - i would recommend that you consider Actuarial Science. Do go around asking about what it is and what it entails. It may satisfy the maths in you and the career pathway as well.

First find out what programme you want to do and then find out which is the best university to offer it. Don't do it the other way round.
