Hi All, a bunch of us UMS MBA students recently launched an online bulletin board for the UMS community; it's located at: www.umsbb.net

The information shared in this LowYat.net thread is really useful; would greatly appreciate it if you seniors could also drop by umsbb.net and share your knowledge and experience there. The umsbb.net site is a community service website especially meant to help new students coming to UMS -- I remember how lost I was when I first arrived in KK

Pls do visit umsbb.net and share your thoughts there on how the site can be improved to make it more useful for the UMS community.

Thanks and Cheers, Joe.

Yah man, last year when I was packing in KL just before going to UMS, I was kinda lost because very little info on the net! I ended up without a room for a week, had to stay in a backpackers lodge. When I finally managed to get a HEP room, man it was in such bad shape I spent a whole day cleaning the damn room, scrubbing the walls and all -- really wanted to cry Oh, and if I had known I could take a bus from KK airport to city centre to UMS for only RM2, I would not have taken the taxi that cost me RM35 Live and learn huh

Hopefully the next gen will be spared the pain Joe

Yah, I think stay outside also better actually. Nowadays you can get a good room in Kingfisher area for around same price of HEP room (RM150 per month). Plus outside room normally has fridge, internet, washing machine, etc. The HEP room I got does not have these facilities, cooking also susah. So for the freshmen, hope they will be aware about all these issues. But I'm graduating this sem so kind of too late for me! Joe

As they say... once bitten twice shy Wah, how come you're paying only RM90, are you a RA? To my understanding all the HEP rooms are RM150... or is it that undergrad price is RM90? That's good, though.

Because of invisible KF bus, I get lots of exercise walking from KF to UMS during undergrad sem break as MBA classes are still in session -- not sure if this is a good or bad thing

But overall, UMS and KK is a nice place. Don't want to paint only the negative points, UMS has its good points also.

Dun mind walking actually, about 20 minutes -- just sometimes need to get to UMS fast!

Take it easy, Joe
