QUOTE(kbyao @ Jun 18 2008, 02:34 PM) OMFG, like this i will die. What stupid rules is that. = =" 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! |

QUOTE(kbyao @ Jun 18 2008, 02:50 PM) No car for 1st year i agree. 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. But why No Motorbike for 1st year  Walk not more then 20 minutes = ="  The rules is kinda weird.  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. |

QUOTE(SookLee @ Jun 18 2008, 03:59 PM) can wear jeans or not?? or just formal wear??? 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. |

QUOTE(shinichi88 @ Jun 18 2008, 05:30 PM) I got Computer Science ( Graphic & Multimedia Software ) 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.so how's all the library, facilities ? How's the food also ? izit expensive ? or better eat outside ? 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. |

QUOTE(GrenadeZ @ Jun 18 2008, 06:18 PM) i wanna ask so many questions... pls forgive me.... i. u will get accommodations on the registration day, so yeah, u'll put everything in there.i. 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.... ii. how many set of formal clothes needed? 3? iii. how many set of certified documents needed? 5 enuf or not? iv. do i need to use laptop on first sem? v. do we need to bring washing powder or anything?? or there's a dobi there and we don't hav to wash ourselves? vi. 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! 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. |

i urge everyone NOT to use torrent or any other stuff that hogs the network. this is a university, researchers and lecturers use the same network for research and academic stuff. back in 1999 i was one of the student leaders to push for free internet for every student, and they eventually agreed. before 1999, internets are only accessible from computer labs - no personal computers, LAN, wireless (ofcourse ler) or private lines.
so today u have the facility to access the internet remotely and within the privacy of ur own computers. dont hog the network. if u want to torrent or what not, get ur own streamyx line to ur room! |

QUOTE(mdineshp @ Jun 20 2008, 10:45 AM) That's true. Please don't be selfish. If you want to download a lot of stuff like torrents please get streamyx or maxis/celcom broadband. it really shows how much students have the power to get things done in UTM. i've always advised my students that if they want something done, get together and properly represented (such as in a student body) and push for it. before i left, a bunch of students are trying to get a paintball facility in UTM. not sure how that went. would be cool if we have one!There are many other students who want to do the assignments and research work. Good job azarimy! We here new batch, further pushed for the more wireless coverage around UTM. Now there is WCC Broadband (our own technology from FKE) and around 80% of UTM can wireless now. |

QUOTE(hokuan @ Jun 20 2008, 12:34 PM) Hi all! i'm entering UTM too! Mechanical(industry) Engineering course. 1) all kolej is practically as safe as u make it to be. meaning, if u deliberately left ur doors unlocked, u could live in a bank vault it still wont be safe Really have a lot of questions, but most of them answered when I browse thru this thread  Only have few more question: 1)I get KOLEJ TUANKU CANSELOR, is it safe there? I need to bring my laptop during first day, will it be any problem? 2)We can apply ptptn during Orientation week right? 3)My roommate will be senior or newcomer? 4)Anybody here from the same faculty as me? Share share experience  . one thing i always advise is to make sure ur doors have new locks. if u doubt it, u can request a lock change, although this could take a while. i stayed at a student block (i think it was G25 or something) in 2005 (i'm a lecturer ), and some guy selamba bodoh came into my room while i'm still in it. then he said, oh sorry, wrong room. but he has the key to my room! i grabbed him, brought him to the felo. apparently he stayed in that room a few months back, and made a copy of the key.so i insisted the admin to change the locks immediately. it took almost a week when i insisted to pay for the lock change, which hasten the process. 3) 1st year roommates will always be of ur own batch, unless requested or specified otherwise. |

here's a tip about valuable things:
most thefts occur bcoz an opportunity presents itself. others occur bcoz a target presents itself. only a small fraction of theft occur randomly. so to be safe, u must deny the first two situations: deny the opportunity of theft. keep ur doors, lockers, drawers, cupboards locked at all times. even if u're going to the toilet, keep it locked! make sure ur roommate understands this too. the other thing is to not make urself a target. dont flash ur handphone around or parading ur ipod or laptop around. people cant make u a target if they dont know what u have. to me, the safest place to be is to live next door to a person who has all the fancy stuffs. why? bcoz they're a bigger target than i am . |

QUOTE(tboonc @ Jun 21 2008, 03:46 PM) so we have to wear the tie provided? u need to wear those ties only during orientation. if u join the student body, u might get to wear it again. other than that, no, u're not required to wear them. n will they provide us long sleeve batik or i have to get my own? not sure about the batik though. |

QUOTE(TzeHu| @ Jun 21 2008, 06:23 PM) hai.. change into architecture? i doubt it. UTM's architecture has one of the lowest intake ratio compared to other courses, except for probably civil and electrical engineering. meaning that out of 15 applicants, only one gets a place. but u should try to apply since it's within the same faculty. someone might decline and leave an empty space for u.i got an offer of architecture in landscape in UTM, but originally i want the pure architecture really really disappointed..really i wanna change course do u think its possible? anyone?please give me hope...... |

Technological or marketing? need to wear formal, but not necessarily the UTM tie. i'm not sure of the most recent directives though... havent been back in UTM for 2 years now.I heard that Mondays also need to wear tie? |

QUOTE(DeltaPanthera @ Jun 21 2008, 08:48 PM) if u look at the grid in the map, each square takes between 6-8minutes to cross (from corner to corner). so u can estimate ur walking time from one place to the other. do trace ur way using the roads, though, coz most of the empty spaces are impassable (ravine, hills, thick shrubs, rivers etc). |
