UGPM!

How far is Bandar Sunway from the Campus by car? 15 minutes drive?
Let say during the summer break, do I still need to pay the room rent(on and off campus)?

Sunway itself is pretty far from Semenyih, Bandar Sunway Semenyih (a project by Sunway Group) is about 10 minutes drive (my personal estimation).

anyone interested in the planning&organizing of next academic year's students' entertainment activities? and ultimately the university's Annual Dinner.

if you believe you are capable, with skills for the above, do pm me for a casual chat.

*note: this is not an offer, just a casual inquiry

Hey there i would like to find out if there is any courses available here related to automotive engineering or motorsports engineering i heard that this Uni offers this. if there is what are the basic requirements

Automotive engineering is available as an option in mechanical engineering. It's best that you email the staff on your own to find out more. Spoon feed doesn't occur in Nottingham.

Arent those activities done by the student association ?

For the house I posted, yeah. If you want keep the room, you have to pay full rent during summer break as well.

i should say 50% of the entertainment events (bigger scale) on campus are organised by the Entertainments Team, which is part of the Student Association, but consist of team members that are mostly not included in the Student Association's usual chores.

Good explanation?

I have a master room and a double room for rent in TTS 2.
it might not look as new as edusquare, but it's clean.

It's fully furnished with furnitures and a/c with a contract for 9 months.

contact maybelchh@yahoo.com or 0162716408.

Semester is starting soon, dont be left out without a place to stay.
If you havent apply for on-campus accommodation yet, i would say 'dont bother to apply and start looking for off-campus accommodation before the good rooms are gone'.

If you have received a confirmation for on-campus accommodation, hold on tight to your offer and dont expect too much. request to switch rooms for whatever reasons will not be entertain. rooms condition: dont compare with off-campus accommodation. the only advantage with on-campus is the walking distance to classes and library. If you are on the top floor, it's going to be an oven during the day.if you want to grab a nap during lunch for missing sleeping hours the previous night for whatever reasons, head to the library.

And lastly is for those still waiting for a reply from management regarding a room on-campus, i would also suggest you start looking for alternative. there's 50-50 chance you would get it. Even if you might get one, you might not like agree with what they offer.

If you dont have a car in semenyih, stay close to TTS area or else you could venture to sunway semenyih where rental is slightly cheaper, but usually rental is for full 12 months. travel time from sunway semenyih to campus in the morning takes 15-20mins(if your class starts at 8am) as there's traffic in semenyih town. Shuttle service between TTS and campus are available on schduled timing, if you dont the hassle of finding a place to park. walking distance to campus from TTS 5, so expect to pay more for accomodation there.

Most of the houses for rental in TTS are decent. there are double story houses or bungalows.
some are furnished to Pioneer Century standard but most aren't. Condition of house depends on the owner of the house. Fully furnished house range from RM 1100-RM 1500 while unfurnished are RM 800-RM 1000. ROOM rental range from rm 200-400 per room. expect to pay more if it's a new building or renting from the acommodation management. house with A/C usually excludes electricity utilities. water doesn't cost much as the first 20m3 are free in SELANGOR. EXPECT to pay additional for internet/streamyx connection, thought some do include in rent, maybe not.

deposits are usually 1 mth advance + 1mth utilities + 2 mths deposits. so if you dont have to pay 3 mths of deposit, consider yourself lucky and shhhhhhhhh.......if you get my meaning. or if you decided to move out earlier than what is stated in your contract, your deposits will be forfeited, be it on-campus or off-campus.

so if any one needs clarification/advice/hv question about accommodation, i'll be glad to answer them.

cheers and good luck to all !!

which ATM machine is available in the campus?

Maybank & AffinBank

Hey hey, anyone here joins the upcoming HELP squad for the registration thingy?

hi, i'll move into langkawi hall on next thursday.
may i know is the student network service (sns) good?
if not, re there any better options?
maybe p1 wimax, celcom, maxis or digi broadband?

I think WiMax is not in Semenyih yet.
Celcom broadband is available but I am not sure about its strength.

For me, SNS is alright. I am not a big fan of P2P so no torrent is okay for me.
If you want P2P, SNS is not good for you.
SNS does provide good speed for normal downloads like those from rapidshare though.

WiMax is not available in many places. Even my place doesn't have it, but 1km away from my place has it

Can check their coverage online though.

Celcom, as far as I've experienced, got a little bit of coverage in semenyih, but slow or intermittent until cannot work.
Didn't even work in Cheras for me, nor Seremban.

So..I really dunno. Probably install satellite internet? I've yet to hear someone try that.. hehehe

I believe Celcom has coverage in Seremban. The promotion activity has been strong here and they are selling without accelerator.
I do see people using Celcom broadband in playing online game, not sure if they use the accelerator or not.
(Accelerator is what makes Celcom broadband expensive. With that device, you can get good speed even at places with poor coverage.)

Oh, I guess they've improved then.. More choices for everyone.

i sent an email to pioneer century, and they replied that they have confirmed my booking. so does that mean that i can check in by this week? just want to make sure..
