QUOTE(Fatimus @ May 17 2008, 01:56 PM) I beg to differ. I was an indecisive prick back in form 5. Form gave me 2 years of consideration on specific courses that I will choose, and I didn't know what the heck was quantity surveying, the course I am studying now. Even with the rumour said that the quality of STPM is dropping, STPM is still not for the pussies. And I am letting my biased anger go here, those who think that their SPM results deserve the government scholarships, try STPM to prove your worth, cowards. Oh that's so true!

Going through form 6 will give you a better kickstart in the local institution like UTAR, and better kickstart means higher cgpa in the beginning of the semester,easier to maintain than struggling to push up later. Anyone studying in the Setapk campus?

To me, it doesn't really matter STPM or foundation entry being exercised. Yeah, people in the industry recognised that STPM is tougher, so it'll be a gloss in your resume. Other than that, i don't see the extra advantages of taking STPM. If you plan to enter the workforce early, foundation programme is the path for you. I have friends who got mediocre SPM and STPM results, but did very well at degree level in UTAR. It's up to you really, what you want to achieve in your studies. If you think you can do it, you can. I took Form 6 and is graduated from UTAR recently

Anyone studying in the Setapk campus? join the UTAR thread in the kopitiam.  many of us from Setapak. QUOTE(fylon @ May 17 2008, 04:14 PM) Hey guys..

@matt85 Ehh.. Actually im taking 2nd degree.  Well, before that was on CE but now feel like to put my path on Communication & Computer Networking. Well, not much sch were offering this course. So probably UTAR will be my last resort. This post has been edited by fylon: May 17 2008, 05:04 PM

UTAR is a good choice for 2nd degree; it is a place where you can finish your programme without much interruption (e.g. extra-curriculars, non-studies activities) Good luck with it. I'm thinking of taking a 2nd degree too after working for a few years in industry.
