LoL.. i just noticed this thread. heh. i am online in my room @ KTHO. bored.. who wanna find me for a bout of CS? =D

hey, k1 is not dat bad. its close to your classrooms and those facilities such as ball courts, football fields, library and gym. If it bothers you, well, next year just move out to stay

Oh, and to those UTM diploma guys worrying about their future, dont worry. What i can tell you is UTM skudai will accept almost all of you into your respective courses. Unless, of course, you did not select UTM as your 1st choice, or your CGPA is way too low. i would suggest you maintain 3.50 and above. And FYI 4 flat is NOT only for nerds. I am not a nerd, and i got almost dat.

p/s im in civil engineering, degree, anything to ask just find me

Im in my 3rd year of my degree, but yeah, im from UTMKL, finished my diploma in civil engineering =)
So you must be my junior, hi =)

hmm, 2006 start studying or 2006 graduate? I started in sem 05/06 =)

@Syukri, sure, songkoks are allowed. Just don't wear short pants when u're in campus, even when you're not having classes, as you're staying in k1. UTMKL's rules are very very strict. Observe monday's formal dress code, or summons will be dealt I had my fair share of it

Its always like that, everything is last minute rushed. Its a process that all of us goin into public U;s shall undergo, so enjoy =) The surat tawaran will be mailed to you, so dont print it out. Save some papers, save your ink, and conserve the forest

Collared shirts are always allowed lah. My experience? erm, its really really easy to study compared with STPM. But the rules there are really rigid, ie short hair, monday formal + tie, no short pants etc. Dont worry, it is a nice place. Near KLCC too =) Just go in and have fun. College life isnt like school life ady, much more freedom and the like. Just remember to study and if best, maintain 3.00 CGPA above if you want to continue to pursue your degree in UTMJB. 3.50 and above is the safest though =)

BTW, what's your course?

erm, i have those old books; but i wonder how u can get from me. Dont worry, there sure are seniors in UTMKL that can help you out, with past years and books. Dont get from me since my time has passed so long, the books are probably obsolete. Those damn ref books keep updating themselves, so you probably gotta get a new one to keep with the flow.

Well, studying civil engineering there is kinda fun, as the course is (IMHO) quite easy and the lecturers are friendly as well as not that strict neither. Means that you probably can get quite good marks in your exam providing you did study. And rely on past years, the final exams probably will come out more or less the same. But UTMKL has a shortage of professors; thus you guys gotta make up with late night classes you'll find it boring, trust me.

DDA, 1st year is a relaxing period, no subjects are tough and more or less you have learnt them in SPM. After that you will be able to mix with your seniors and will know what you will be expecting next. Just go and have fun. And say hi to Dr. Shree for me if you ever meet him that is. Probably will.


KP is nice, it has every facilities you want, e.g. air cond study room, washing machines, mart, and internet access. Heck, i even saw a pool table over there. Lots of foreign students live there though. The condition is okok la. Dont be nervous, everyone has their own first time Im not from your course nor your college though just sampat wanna help

@MyKy, hey, i saw my friend's back in your photos in M'sia's Pretty Debator are you. Lol

Dont use my lyn id. Just say from your old students Yeah kinda steep. Those ref books cost about rm70 +- per book. Though you can either photostat or just borrow from your seniors, for a easy way out. Only a few ref books are quite useful to us. Soil mechanics ref book is one example, which you will take in your 2nd year. Quite useful and will be reused in 3rd year, and in your degree course. Aiyah take it easy lah, its all not important, get in there and adapt yourselves in the environment. 1 sem, and u will get the hang of it. Chill~

Yeah, utm students in support of piracy and photocopied books

For those interested in playing basketball in UTM, we have a basketball club there. There shall be trainings, like 3 times weekly. Everyone who is interested in training ball can come. The training times will be known after semester starts, and i'll keep you guys updated

Oh, and sorry to dash your hopes, there is no indoor basketball court in UTM. And the courts we usually play on is very very rough; prepare to change shoes every 1 year as the soles will be worn out

For broadband, i tried maxis and celcom both, maxis has a very slow turtle like speed, celcom is so so. Celcom 3g can be used to play online games; albeit with some lag. So weigh your pros and cons before buying

Did i hear someone mention about dota? Find us! i.Risk. Welcome any challenges

UTM KL is nice la. The kediaman siswa is ok, rooms are clean and the best part is 2 rooms 1 toilet. Though the food in the canteen is not really good. Facilities in the college includes 1 small futsal green field, 1 concrete multipupose field (usually used for futsal and sepak takraw), gym, a basketball court, convenience marts, few classrooms and a surau. Not bad huh

p/s but i still moved out to stay outside during my diploma years

Nah, the main CC in JB is KingSurf. But we did not originate from Johor, we formed a team in UTM to enter competitions (Yeah, UTM holds DotA tournaments too)

There are buses that will stop at klcc, from the campus. There is a bus stop outside the main gate. Though i kinda forgot what numbers are they. Erm, from k2, however i dont quite know whether the buses there will stop at klcc or not. Cause i drive and seldom sit bus. But, there is a bus stop outside k2, within walking distance. Buses there can take you to Wangsa maju's LRT station; or to Pudu (its near Times Square, Lowyat and Sg Wang). Other destinations i am not really familiar though


Haha, sorry to break this to you, but yeah, it sucks. UTM kononnya is a technology school; but in internet this area it phailed I heard my friends still staying in K2 said the wireless imiproved somewhat, but i doubt it will be satisfying.

Erm, the number of students varies but i heard they're kinda limiting local students into entering UTMKL nowadays and accepting more international students, thus the new name UTM International College or something. Before, in my days we had about 3 section full of students, around 60 per section translating to about 180 students in my batch. But my juniors got lesser afterwards. So that's about it. But you will still have many friends lah, from other courses de. Since all of you guys are so less numbered.

BTW, what race are u of? just wondering.

Erm, i dont know but im guessing mostly of arabic islamic countries. Middle east perhaps. And china.

Nah, the number of students is actually quite low, if compared to us in UTMJB. We civil engineers alone have our own faculty, and the people inside you couldnt get to know every single one of them. But in diploma, it is possible.

Im chinese, wow mixed you must be quite kacak

Yes registering chargers are FOC. As well as your computer things.

You gotta pay for kettles, radios, fridge, oven and whatsoever things you decide to bring.

Sometimes i wonder why the heck they want us to rely on Elearning to get our notes, check whether classes have been canceled or do online quizzes etc, the wifi in UTM is so terrible. Gets on my nerves sometimes. Technology, kononnya.

A visiting company personnel once snubbed us because of no internet access in the campus. Duh

Your words are colorful
1. No, but formal will do. I did not wear my batik for EVER. Don't get trolled.
2. Erm depends. Uncollared tee shirts usually is ok, but to stay on the safe side, wear collar ones. Jeans is ok.
3. Why not. You wan wear as colorful as your language oso can

edit: Why i never see any degree pursuing civil engineers in here?

No need for it lah. My batik was bought from my diploma years, but i never wore it before. crap.

No dude, seriously, i did not wear batik at all during my mhs period, and i underwent mhs TWICE, both in UTMKL and UTMJB. Though. Just buy one batik and keep it, you never know. Suddenly the mhs agents want u guys to wear. Safer lah

Yes, mhs needs a white formal long sleeve, take at least 2 there. So you can wash one and wear the other while it's drying.


Not enough, bring at least 2. Or else your shirt will stink from not washing it for days.
