I am too from UTM
Going for my final year next sem at FPPSM (management fac)
I also will help out to answer any questions

Err, the hostel internet line good?

Now should be much stable and wider coverage.
Almost 80% of UTM has WIFI
You must of the time will be using WIFIUTM to access online.
So what course did you get?

Oh, i get software engineering.
I heard my friend said, some University they blocked msn and some website.
Does UTM same?

Yes no porn if that what you meant ?? BTW its free so cheers.... just buy a usb wifi stick before coming to utm if you using desktop....

lol i not talking about porn.
Some they blocked youtube frienster or others.
So msn cant use in UTM?

checked the result. yeah~ i will be ur junior at utm

thx a lot! its a vy big help..

utm seniors r nice. hehe..

yeah@!!! finally got utm THREAD LIAO

I'M CIVIL ENG....I HEARD THERE r many ppl form lyn got this course.....yeah...so many frens...

Hmn, after i saw this map, i think i should bring my motorbike go there already.

i wan to ask is the orientation scary?
got seniors bully us anot?

hey im one of them. nice to meet u!

haha.. sry for posting something out of tis topic but im kind of sO excited!

well, i dunno wat to ask....
still cant get over the euphoric feeling inside me........

Why the website campus map so damn small, want to see the words also cant.
Where can i get a more detail map for the campus?

Wikimapia would be the best ....

BTW no motorbikes for first year students... strictly...

Car?

Hell no .... yeah thats the rule... So you would have to walk or take the bus or carr pool with seniors....

OMFG, like this i will die. What stupid rules is that. = ="

need to prepare anything before going into UTM ma? issit there's any special rules regarding this Uni apart from other uni?

btw im mecha eng. de nice to meet u all^^ and... issit the connection good there?? mean fast enuf to play games ma?

im not saying i wana play games... just mayb if bored wana play nia...

and regarding mecha eng. issit hard??? do i hav to pia whole 4 years?? my stpm not so good....

first years are usually situated in hostels nearer to the schools that shouldnt take more than 20 minutes to walk to. if there are too many vehicles on campus, the roads will be congested and the public transports will suffocate. so for the interests of the mass, 1st years are not allowed to have vehicles. they can use bicycles if they want to. go green!

This reply is coming from a lecturer ... wooot

No car for 1st year i agree.
But why No Motorbike for 1st year
Walk not more then 20 minutes = ="
The rules is kinda weird.

- Just follow the guide book.. will be sent to you ... Just make sure to bring enough Cert copies...
- No special rules just cannot go out after 12 AM
- Internet - cannot torrent, Btw its wifi i doubt you can play games with that.... BUt you can always LAN ...
- Sorry from electrical background.... depends on how you study ler... BTW first year is damn important ...

---

Added on June 18, 2008, 10:55 pm-yup skudai ..
- about laptop better buy here (skudai) easier for warranty claim...

---

Added on June 18, 2008, 10:59 pmOrientation ??? Never had that before .. depends on what faculty... and what kind of senior ler..
Seniors might or might not bully you ... that's depends again which faculty and which senior too... but generally they wont...

wahh..finally got UTM thread. u think it will be a bad idea for me to turn down diploma MECHeng in UTM city campus and go for Foundation MECHeng in UNITEN?

read again. 1st years are always located in hostels that are nearer to the schools. meaning the distance is normally not more than 20 minutes walking. yes, UTM campus is huge, second only to UPM. seniors dorms are normally located further out, some which may even take more than 45 minutes to walk. if the rules say u cant have vehicles while situated further out, now that is really stupid.

i suggest u come to the campus first to appreciate how big the campus really is. and like i said before, if u dont wanna walk, pakai laa basikal. UTM road is safe enough for bicycles.

and why 1st years cant use motorcycles either? bcoz there's no parking. yes, it was deliberately made that way so that students share vehicles (both motor and cars). lagipun, budak2 ni kaki rempit aje... so when they share motor, less likely to rempit heheh.

for those of you who got the offer from utm, how to confirm SETUJU TERIMA TAWARAN on the website?

Actually it is for your own safety too... cheers buddy... there are a lot of transportation methods in UTM... that's why you pay a quite a lot for the transportation fee.... cheers...

i think there's a couple of basketball courts. last time (back in 2001) there's a few half courts as well. not sure if those are still around.

It depends on your residential college too... You cannot simply walk from Kolej Perdana to Kolej Rahman Putra to play Basketball..

Oh, Then good for me.
Currently no more thing to ask.
Actually got a bit sad when know the rules there.
But i cant change anythings now.
Now just try to accept it lor.

Now still don't know about the kolej kolej there.
Still cant find a single well label Map online.

any senior from management fac? can wear jeans ornot?

New UTM recruit reporting here. Gonna be taking technological management.

Welcome Guys...

can wear jeans or not?? or just formal wear???

Usually they dont care about that.... but during the orientation week .. strictly no jeans...
Relaxs UTM is free not like other unis..cheers..

for classes, u're allowed to wear jeans, although u'd have to wear collared shirts and proper shoes. however, there are lecturers who insist that jeans is too informal for class.

y no comment la bro. just say it. no offence taken la

^ because im from electrical engineering ... so i cannot simply advice people who are from other courses... sorry

owh. aiyakk..okeh2. sry then

orientation start on moning till nite? wat time till wat time

Added on June 19, 2008, 1:20 amany1 from kuantan going to UTM??? @,@

This post has been edited by SookLee: Jun 19 2008, 01:20 AM

I got Computer Science ( Graphic & Multimedia Software )
so how's all the library, facilities ?
How's the food also ? izit expensive ? or better eat outside ?

UTM skudai? library are quite complete. in my opinion, there are two very efficient departments in UTM that rival most international schools - the library and the treasury. so u have nothing to worry about the library, its resources are quite well connected. my only problem with them is it could take awhile for them to issue a new published book into their inventory. it usually takes 4 to 6 months.

other facilities are quite satisfactory to me.

food inside is cheaper than outside. the only drawbacks are everybody eats there and the quality's arent anything to shout about.

i wanna ask so many questions... pls forgive me....

if we bring so many things to uni where do we put them? issit first day register ade can get hostel accomodation?
eg: kettle, mattress cover, pillow cover etc....

how many set of formal clothes needed? 3?

how many set of certified documents needed? 5 enuf or not?

do i need to use laptop on first sem?

do we need to bring washing powder or anything?? or there's a dobi there and we don't hav to wash ourselves?

last but not least... the fees when or how to pay it? by cash or?? on registration day or??

i've just scan through the offer.... don understand a lot of things...

btw the kolej kediaman is : KOLEJ TUANKU CANSELOR.

sorry if too many questions.... but these are the things tat i don understand...

thanx ya seniors~~ you all are very helpful!! hope to meet u all!

i. u will get accommodations on the registration day, so yeah, u'll put everything in there.

ii. if u're willing to recycle, 1 pair is enough.

iii. i'm not sure. but u've already applied and got the course, why would u need certified documents anymore?

iv. depends on what course u're studying. most of the courses (except computings) intentionally put less emphasis on computers during the 1st sem so that students can take their time to acquire their own laptop/PC.

v. a few colleges have an automat, others have dobi services. i'm not sure if KTC has any of those.

vi. fees can be paid before or during registration day. u can pay cash or bank transfers. i'm not sure if u can pay by cheque or credit cards.

orientation is nto scary ,
most of it u are going to learn some stupid motion , but at the end of the day , u willbe enjoying it .
enojy ur oriendtation . it is the best moment u got in ur oritentation , know ppl aound u , dont waste the chance , really . be a famous one not stupid famous one .
i love oreintation aas that is the only chance i can see so far where people with different races , courses , etc doesnt care who they are , sit down and enjoy makan and cheer .

---

Added on June 19, 2008, 5:47 amformal cloth : 2 sets , depends . every monday need to dress formal . well during ur orientation , need to dress white shirt and black skirt everyday . so prepare 2 sets or more for it . (UTM CODE)

laptop : u might not really need it , but i suggest u to get one if your finance is stable , safe the hassle over the programes .

washing : u need it , bring detergent , powder also can . no dobi there , u need to use the washing machine . for upm washing machine is FOC .

fees u need to pay : UPU will tell u that , u will soon receive a letter from university and u shall know the fees to pay . u can choose to skip it and pay it later on , but i suggest to clear it during registration , so things will be much more easier .

Kolej tuanku canselor is the oldest one , somehow the rooms are bigger and safety is not really good . try to avoid bringing valuables in ur orientation week .

certified documents : YES ! u need it , ur parents , both have to sign EVERY PAGES , and it has to be VERIFIED BY 1st class GOVERNMENT OFFICIERS , u can visit police station to verify it . PREPARE 5 copies of it . it is for PTPTN .

---

Added on June 19, 2008, 5:52 amyes , there are basketball fields . most of the colleges that first year are living got . well it is not so near until u can throw stone . hahhaa .it is near .

well , i am here to tell u guys . homesick is definately will happen , it happened to me too . hahaha , boys or girls , man or woman , all sure will homesick . u might need about 3 weeks to suit urself there , and it might take about 1.5 month and u will enjoy it .

chinese food is limited source there unless u go out to Taman University . dont worry , once u are there , more people will guide u all .

I got one question here: Once submitting the PTPTN form, have to wait how long until the loan is acquired?

How can i get PTPTN loan?
Some of my friends say tat i will have to fill up form AFTER i enter uni..
btw i dunno wat's the procedure to get loan. Anyone here can guide me?
1st time applying for loan, i really have no idea wat to do.
Heard tat have to open SSPN acc. from CIMB Bank
Then open another acc. either at Bank Simpanan Nasional or Bank Islam. Wat's next?
*My parents salary exceed RM2500, but have to bear 2 family member study, will i able to get full loan?*

And, i might have a little trouble on the register day.
My brother entering UTHM on the same day as I enter UTM, both is in Johor, but still how can 1 car bring 2 ppl stuff?
It state tat the register is 8.30 - 11.00, izit mean tat i can come later after done my brother stuff, mayb around 10.00am...?
**Do i need my parents around on register day? signing stuff / paying fees all tat..

I am from the Management fac. Human Resource Development 3rd year.
Sure you can wear jeans. What course did you get?
But like said earlier, you need to wear formal for the orientation week.
The orientation week is going very fun and exciting.
from 6 am till midnight or 1 am or 2 am
I really miss my orientation week.
Was superb (even with lack of sleep) got to know many new friends and learn new stuff.
Hope that all juniors will enjoy your orientation week =)

This post has been edited by mdineshp: Jun 19 2008, 12:10 PM

Students from Diploma usually placed in a college far from main area. ... so can bring motorcycle..


Before the registration.. they will send a cheque... after that they will brief that during orientation week...

Usually workers in UTM dont follow time one... so you can come later.... because UTHM nearer to selangor compared to UTM...bring somebody to clean the rooms.. hehehe

don't worry. You can do it by yourself.
There will be a special speech on loans during the orientation
Plus if you need more information on loans, you can contact the Pusat Kaunseling UTM.
They will brief you on all sorts of loans too.
If you need any adding help, you can contact us (lowyat members) for assistance. We will be glad to help you out =)

Uh... Thanks a lot everyone.. Giving me an idea how would it be in UTM.
Really appreciate your help...

Another question, any computer science faculty senior here.?
I wanted to get a laptop, as some said, better get laptop at Skudai just in case send for warranty.
Do i need powerful laptop for "Graphic & Multimedia Software" course.?
Recommended Spec are most welcome....

yup, slayerXT he's a final year student computer science faculty student, u can try to pm him
btw, if u wan a laptop to do schoolwork only, then low end laptop should suffice,

This post has been edited by ben_panced: Jun 19 2008, 03:01 PM

ask ur senior help to register ur motor...

lol i will try

FanallY find 1 senior here... happIe happIe... i take Human Resource Development course alsOoo..... so the orientation week is start form 29 jun until 4 july or???

Haha PM him already.

i think u should see the subject first..
if the subject is like 3D animation or video editing, then we need a quite powerful pc/laptop to do the rendering job..
but i think for first year student, the syllabus is basic and no need a powerful laptop spec..juz get a normal one..

if i were u i buy desktop, coz easy 2 upgrade...laptop with pentium 4(3.0) and 1gb ram also enough...
if u want to buy laptop, better buy aspire, easy 2 upgrade...coz hp and dell really picky in changing hardware...(just from my opinion)...
try ask s3polz...if im not mistaken, he want to sell his desktop....

bro Slayer..
what course are u taking there?

I have a high-end desktop at home.. to bulky to bring.
so i plan to buy low-end laptop for my UNI life and schoolwork..
i play lot of game like COD4, DMC, Assassin's Creed..
but is study time, not really into gaming dy...

i jz want laptop for music, video, internet, of course schoolwork..
Scared doing CG, rendering video might slow or laptop cannot tahan..
Erm, so buy acer aspire huh...i will think bout it..
Intel X3100 or GeForce 7000M or Radeon X300??

Yup, one week before we all start classes.
I think on saturday (5 July) should have sport's day.
Have fun ya =)
HRD is a great course and you will meet nice lectures =)
Anything you can PM me.

i already check ur syllabus,u will not learning 3d in 1st year...n laptop not good for randering 3d...
minimum spec for render 3d is pentium 4 (3.0ghz), 4 gb ram n of coz graphic card...but donno about minimum spec for the latest 3dmax....
but for randering video, C2D 2.0 n 2g ram...this my friend pc spec, coz he always make montaj for hep utmkl....(he also taking SE in UTM )
just buy laptop below rm2500 also can...normaly on first year u will learn photoshop n flash/authorware, donno if it still the same...
try to buy when u r in second semester lar, no need 2 rush...

SlayerXT!!!... what course do u take???i'm taking SE...i need someone 2 guide me in choosing my subject, coz i from dip, what subject is require for cisco???....

This post has been edited by fanco: Jun 19 2008, 04:26 PM

Ok thx, a lot.. i'll buy somewhere around tat price..
Later only upgrade the laptop if necessary..
Acer Aspire can upgrade easily right..?

believe me,at first i also thought not to play games when studying at UTM KL..
but after 2 months, i started to play games again..
even on study week also a spend my time 'lepak'ing and playing PC games for 5 days straight (completed need for speed carbon in one night)..
tak bleh tahan la kalau tak main games...
but when it come to study, i make it serious..

btw,juz grab C2D, 1 GB ram and of course ge force powered graphic card for ur lappy..

Here's the syllabus for the course

This post has been edited by s3polZ: Jun 19 2008, 04:39 PM

Sport's day wear the college shirt and track pants
Formal should be white shirt and black pants. (It will be inform in the manual which you will receive thru mail soon)
You can always go back the next weekend if you stay near.

Homesick..? I think its normal... its oso hapen to my coursemate when im in 1st year..... u noe what, she crying.. Uwaaa...

If you are thinking of bring your motorbike/car, please don't.
Me and my friends had many great memories, walking together as a big group or small group here and there. We could make fun jokes and talk and talk while walking to our destination.
It really builds up your friendship and memories.
I personally had good memories of exploring UTM on foot during the first year. I went to the library, CICIT (computer lab), my fac, other fac, food court, back to college all by foot. It was great =)
Getting exercise and discovering new stuff at UTM =)

If you are not in the mood to walk, there is the bus service. Once my friend, sat in the bus not to go somewhere but just to see the sites/places around UTM. She took a map of UTM (to know the name of the places), got on the bus, saw all the sites along the way and finally got off at the starting point.

Im in old scs course.

abt this i don know, cuz i always maintain my cpa haha

depends on the lect, some of them dun care others dun like it

woi ko igt ni skolah ke

hehe, he lectured in ur digital systems class, not mine

again depends on the lect, sume doesnt really care

pak guard just usually give rm25 fines je

haha this is a killer subject for 1st sem student, tho in reality its not that hard

dun worry, in engineering faculty, especially electrical and mechanical, the ratio for male and female student is 10:1..
so if u want a gf, search gals from other facs

hurm this true

yurp true, tapi tak la sampai utm student jadi ruler of engineering in this country

This post has been edited by ben_panced: Jun 19 2008, 05:19 PM

Dont worry guys... i bet most of you already have a girl friend ... hehehe....

By the way the only problem with engineering course in UTM is that the lack of chicks... which is good ...for me ...

The hostel got provide hot water or not?
Or we need to boil it ourself?

hurm,
certain hostel blocks have those watercoolers with heaters,
but it's better if u buy ur own heater to boil water..
much2x more hygienic
