Hi Guys!

Will be attending Curtin this coming semester. Just a quick question tho. Is there a fully equipped gym on campus? And im planning to apply for curtin village. Is the internet provided by the uni or do we have to get our own wireless broadband?

I am not sure of the gym's condition but is under renovation now. It has weight room and cardio room with shower room as well. Curtin Village has big rooms and living environmental wise is more ideal but will be a bit further from mini market at Senadin. You have to walk about five minutes to reach the shoplots. You can get redtone WiFi there but there's monthly charges when you buy the pin code from admin office. It was rm60 monthly last yr and I'm not sure how much is it now. It will be advisable to get a broadband there and if your housemates have applied streamyx then you probably can share with them.

Just interesting when graduated in Sarawak Campus, the cert is state that Sarawak Campus or Australia Campus?

@joybutterable

Thanks for the reply!! Any chance you would know which telco has the best coverage for wireless broadband around curtin village?

It is from Australia campus. Heck you can even choose to have your convocation in Perth even if you finish with Curtin Sarawak.

We have our own broadband called Redtone. Not sure about the coverage but I see a lot of student using them. So it must be better than others la.

hi kaliku,

Afaik, maxis line isnt that great there. Heard Celcom is not bad but many users there, so the line is a bit congested there. LOL! i am currently in curtin villa and digi works fine for me in my common area but not inside my room.

You have to provide more information about your diploma.

Where is your diploma from? How's your result? What is the syllabus?

I cant just tell you with a statement like that.

Yeap we do have table tennis club. We have table tennis, badminton court, tennis, futsal, football, basketball (indoor and outdoor) and rugby but no swimming pool

Don't worry la. It's never too late for education. Got couple of students 30 y.o and above coming next sem.


joybutterable is right. We have a lot of student from WM and this surprises a lot of people.

You might ask why one want to go to Sarawak since you have Monash, Taylors, Nottinghmam, Segi, UCSI bla bla bla in WM. First, we are one of the few branch campus in Malaysia. Monash and Nottingham are the other two plus a few more sprouting out in Johor. If you compare our price to Monash and Nott, you will find us cheaper by a lot. Around 10k to 15k. Besides that, we offer direct pathway into Curtin Perth with great amount of flexibility. Just imagine that Miri is a transit point for student who cant afford to go to Perth directly.

Another thing, I might be biased but Miri is a more peaceful place than KL so Johor parents are more inclined to send their children over.

Thanks for your reply.

Hey guysss, I'll be attending my first year in Bachelor of Engineering this upcoming semester. Any of you staying in Curtin Water?

Our statistic shows that Curtin Water is already 80% full.

Really?! I'm praying hard for good housemates! Are you a student at Curtin as well? Or a staff?

I'm an ex-student working here.

Hahaha, I've checked in at Curtin Water today. I was the only guy at the entire area. Any idea when will the others be arriving? Would definitely like to 'establish' a good network, hahah.

You're early considering orientation starts on Tues. A portion will come in this few days but most of them will come in on the foundation orientation.

You got things to eat all those?

Yes, i thought so too. But I came with my parents, I only left my stuff in my room and I'm staying at Imperial Palace currently. I'll only start staying at my accommodation tomorrow onward, so I guess it isn't too bad, yet....

Ohhh. If need any help PM me la. Get a broadband too cause I dont think there's streamyx there.

hey guys please need help,how z the university life at curtin sarawak??.........comin this july for bachelor of eng in petroleum engineering

Might be a silly question but are there any news or rumours that the Sarawak campus might offer the pharmacy course in the (distant) future?

oh thanks for your reply, since you works in curtin. May I ask what is the entry requirement for doing diploma in mass communication in curtin university ? for O-level student how many credit requires ? Also I heard some university consider 2 D as a credit. Is it same with curtin ? Thanks

Hey you guys. I'm currently studying in my first year of my degree at APU (formerly UCTI) for IT. I already called the people at the Admissions Office and they said I can apply for recognition of prior learning (credit transfer). But I have a few questions that only the students can answer.

1. How's the campus? Elaborate as much as you like.
2. Are the lecturers good?
3. Are there any students taking Bachelor of Technology? If so, how many people are there for each year?
4. Are the courses difficult?

Thanks you guys in advance.
