1st year degree is still ok la... wait until u get 2 n final year (if in IT).  u can feel the pressure.. unless if u take it slowly. which means, u dont follow the curriculum book.
u guys will be given a little booklet which tells u which subjects would be advisable to be taken for each sem. usually, every sem has about 4-5 subjects. which is around 17-19 credit hours. but if u dont want to follow the booklet, n decide which subject u want to take first or not, it is still ok. but there r some subjects that cant be taken unless u pass  that certain subject. eg. u can't take adv database if u didnt take basic database. something like that la. n also if u want to take slowly like taking 2-3 subject/sem is also ok. but u guys be graduating late la. many student do this bcoz they r afraid that they can't cope with it. but to me, this is just an excuse. they just want to enjoy n relax. i c alot of my friends do this.

n also for eg. if u take full ptptn loan, if not mistaken u will receive around rm8000 per sem. if u take 5 subjects per sem which is about rm5500 -6500, u still be left with around rm2000. rm 1000 for hostel fee(depending which 1 u stay). that leave u about rm1000 or so. rm 1000 for u to spend on books n stuff. but just imagine if u take 2-3 subjects per sem which is about rm2500-3500. that leave u rm2000 more to spend. unless u r really wise n save that money for the coming sem. some of my friends spends all that money in 1-2 months. buy new hp la, new laptop la, spend on gf/bf, this n that. n by the time u know it, its all gone. n by the time ptptn give all the loan which is about rm50000, u still have subjects left to do, where u want to get money from to pay ur fee?
well.. the point is, be careful. dont just enjoy all u want. think b4 u enjoy.

this r some of the problems which students have to face during the uni life.

p.s sori for writing an essay. lol..
