For a stpm student, if you household not generating a high monthly income, and your result not as well as you expect, and public Uni do not give wat you want.

At laz, what choice do you have except UTAR.

Why UTAR?
- fees cheap
- 3 years for degree
- choice less
- the one and only sound nice bcoz named University

Ppl often ask me, why dun KTAR?
- SPM student will still going for ktar, bcoz 2year diploma, 2 year advance diploma
- but STPM student hav no choice, imposible you wan them after spending 2 years for form 6, now spending 4 more years for advanced diploma?
- lastly, STPM willl go for UTAR

Am i a supporter of UTAR? no no no
I juz wan to let u know, UTAR is not as good as you think also.

You know what happened to foundation new intake student? last year is rm 4000 ++ for foudation studies, this year bcome rm 7000++, our inflation rates also did not exceed 100%, but UTAR inflation already gone until 90%, scary.

Don't expect UTAR having a olympic size swimming pool like KTAR or other colleges, the cocuriculum activity can be considered 0, what you willl saw is those, maths society, english society etc.

The worse thing, Utar degree year 3 student (havent graduate) but teaching utar foundation students?

Equipment like classroom o mic o sound system, broken.

Juz to let you know all this, but you still can choose for it, cause i heard they are building a new campus in KAMPAR.
But heard ppl said they pakat wif the construction company, cause all the house beside the UTAR kampar is belong to the construction company, and there only for rent, and expensive.

Anyone ex student UTAR can come and giv more better opinion, maybe i only saw the negative sides of UTAR....

i'm a student of UTAR & i just completed my Foundation programme.

about the lecturer, i dont think it's true for somebody said that the lecturers of foundation is the degree year 3 student.
as i know , all the lecturers for foundation are at least a DEGREE holder and most of them are pursuing their master programme part timely.

most of the lecturers can't speak english fluenty??
I think this is not right.Most of the lecturers there can speak english fluently, though some may have their own accent. But don't you think it is more important for a lecturer to make the student understand what they wan to teach easily by using a simple words/sentences instead of using a long long & hard to understand sentences?

I've come across few lecturers who can speak english so fluently. For me, it is more difficult to understand as they used lots of freakin tough words which i could not understand. But, some lecturers are just nice & can speak english smoothly & they use simple words to make student understand of what they're teaching, isn't this is better?? =)

no cocuriculum??
actually, it's depends on you whether to join the cocuriculum or nt cause the degree student / the committee of the clubs will still running different activities for their members. You cant said that there're no any cocuriculum activity at all. For me, i think the main problem is UTAR has separated its department. So for foundation student, they might not know what activities is running by the degree student as both foundation & degree students are placed in different blocks. So, you might need to go to degree's block to check out for the latest news of activities.

about the fees, as i know, most of the private uni/coll out there has increased their fees year by year.It's not only UTAR do that, but most of the private uni/coll do the same thing as well. But still, UTAR's foundation fees is cheaper among other private uni/coll.

about the swimming pool, it is very common for a uni not to have a swimming pool, only those uni/coll that are rich are having this kind of facilities for students. If you want a swimming pool in uni, then you should choose the uni that provides you a swimming pool.

UTAR is also having a campus in kampar. The rent there is much cheaper compared to pj. My friends rent a double-storey house and it costs only rm 400++ for the whole house, compare to pj, you can only rent a ROOM with the same price, isn't this is cheaper??

I'm sure if you rent rent a double-storey house with 4 rooms[1 master bedroom,1medium room & 2 single room ], you won't stay alone in the whole house without sharing. Those house can placed at least 4 people and you may share with your housemates to buy all those essential things. I'm sure this is much cheaper. & what facilities do you expect from such cheap price of rental?! i dont think you should ask for more.

ohya,where are you living currently?
If you're in pj, i guess you know the living cost here in pj......
I was living in a so-called condo in pj and the rent for the master bedroom is rm220 per head! and guess what, there were 4 persons staying in a master bedroom. It means the rent for the master bedroom is rm800++. This is really freakin' expensive.
