I got ask the TARC's staff about the advance diploma also able to get for the PTPTN loan...

hello jtcs87, i'm year 2 ISE student from TARC too.
kinda fed up with TARC, planning to another college (unsure yet) after get the diploma.

My friends all will going for the Advance Diploma.... but i'm just planning go for the UTAR.... but need to wait until Jan 2009....

Utar is good by providing you a degree. But the passing level for the UTAR very high, many student find their death in UTAR as well.

And kampar might not as good as ppl said. Firstly, the living cost is as high as KL. What the heck, how come a rural area can so expensive.

Kampar UTAR lack of quality lecturer as well. fee high, but you cant get what u expected.

Think twice before you choose. My advice, ask parent. so that, if one day u regret. u still can blame your parents

U told you the Kampar expenses is high as KL.... I'm the one who stay at there....

My parent just follow my decision only..... just want get more advice & opinion only!

adv dip ptptn loan will be RM13.5k

y fedup? ... got bullied by ur coursemates? i am in BIS and doing good here

Added on April 12, 2008, 1:44 amfor me the 3 months is quite worth it. not many ppl can afford a few years study overseas. it does relate to the job as different country as different kind of working system and education system. go ask urself, if every country has the same working system then Indonesia is same as USA d lo?

Thats why i'm thinking whether study at TARC will i get the better way for my career in future? Quite hard to accept the rent at Setapak there!

Try to get MMU if TARC cannot

MMU's fees is quite high! If like that i prefer go for UTAR better!

If i going to UTAR, i need to wait until Jan 2009 intake. During that time, the PTPTN will call me to pay back the loan?

Why need to wait ? You graduating this May izzit? Herm, IIANM you can appeal to study first, then show them all your result and transcipt later. Try to enquire this from UTAR Faculty Office.

Because my course is need to be wait for the Jan 2009 intake at kampar! PJ that UTAR is not going for the intake at May!

Oh I see. 6 months is a hard wait. I understand. Maybe you can opt for other uni/college, or maybe you can work for 6 months before you continue your study again lor.

The "big move" from PJ/Sungai Long/Setapak to Kampar takes time. Even me also have to help out my lecturer to get stuff sorted and send it to Kampar Campus.

Do you even have to stoop this low to blame UTAR ?

Now i also thinking with that to work awhile or i go for advance diploma only.

wat are u thinking?
campbell university provide exam paper for few course in TARC school of art and science, the standard is a USA degree. Salary not depends which u come from TARC or watever but your contribution and performance

trust me la no difference one la. Ktar advance diploma more hectic and no time to lepak but Utar more time to lepak.

but when come outto work no difference one la. plus campbell degree here is consider u only graduate diploma cause american degree not recognized.

but to me really got no difference one. i from Utar i work my pay 3500 my friend work he from Ktar also 3500.
so no difference one la.

only difference is what is ur impression to your employers. and you have fun during colleage days

Some said nothing different, some said aren't... I also blurr with that!

i put it simple la.

KTAR
very hectic, longer class hours, shorter time, no time to lepak and relax, If you fail mid term wont affect your finals that much cause attendance and other crap like labs and stuff are counted in the 20%.
no Uni experience lo. No degree(campbell dont count as a degree JMU is a friggin shoplot and sheffield hallam is a disgrace) and even if u go overseas the total will come out more expensive than go UTAR
Utar
Longer time, Got one friggin 3 month holiday(FES),more lepak,more coursework, u ponteng 4 times u straight barred, if u fail mid term ur finals also die. labs are a seperate subject so reports are very important.Uni experience lo



so issit easier to decide now.
but the bottom line is when u graduate there is no difference lo.
but what i think UTAR graduation sucks cause in wisma MCA
cant really take picture clearly and ppl scattered all over

The problem is i need to wait for 6 months for it.....

P/S: Uni exp got what kind of benefits?
