then can lar

why? wana come to mmu? haha

Hey, i have this question about foundation for UTAR.
The amount in the bills that i received along with the offer letter is it for 1 semester or the whole foundation?

If its for 1 semester, considering i got 100% tuition fee waiver, does this apply for semester 2 and semester 3, Which means i only Pay RM 1009 for the whole foundation?

Seniors please enlighten me.
Thank you.

Are you sure? the amount u pay, just a small portion goes to your tuition fees while the rest are for other things.. The money u pay, will be deducted for first semester of the total amount you are suppose to pay... Does not apply for 2nd and 3rd semester. It works like a deposit... Thats what if I can remember it correctly... Or maybe that have change the system..

my 1st semester tuition fee Which is Rm2160 is waived, i need to pay miscellaneous which is Rm 1009, Then i msg them they say following semesters, they say you still need to pay the Miscellaneous and u must perform well or else no Waive tuition fee.

Wow.. i don't know that... fuh... but if perform well, lets say cgpa 3.9 can get utar scholarship then... hehe..

lol so easy get meh.

haha... yaya. But try ur best then. MMU oso dun have our own scholarship. Only under TM, and that is if people consider that as MMU own scholarship..

hmm..i m a newbie here..but i am also goin utar for foundation too..actly,what i feel was,whether it is difficult or easy,i depends on how much effort you put in it..n your commitment..if u feel like u really wanna score and you wanna get gud marks,u will surely get that coz u will struggle for that..
but then,most of my frens told me that form 6 are much more toughter and more stressful compare to foundation.they said that you can do foundation easily without pressure..huh?and what i've awnser them was 'u haven tried it but how you know that form 6 is toughter than foundation?'but,it really depends la..

I'm from UTAR's foundation in science, PJ campus.. and i'm now doing my degree in UTAR's Faculty of Science and Engineering (FES)..

I went in to UTAR reluctantly. Like most students, i kept blaming my fate.. Why am i not wealthy enough to enter better uni? Why i am not bright enough to get a scholarship to a better uni?

But today, I'm missing my foundation life like hell...
I've had alot alot of wonderful memories there, together with my foundation friends and our wonderful lecturers.. Do note that most foundation lecturers are kinda young, but most of them possess a master. And seriously, they are the most dedicated and nicest lecturers that i've ever seen, not sure if that holds in Kampar Campus, but that's what i experienced in PJ campus.

I learned alot in my foundation.. and what i learned aren't only limited to academic, but also some soft skills which i find very valuable.. For instance, I am able to do my presentation quite well, I'm able to interact with others better than last time.

Hell yea, I'm also able to design my own webpage now.. and i feel good about that..

Just sharing my experience with all of you here..

and i'm proud to be a UTARian..

Proud cool any difference kampar and PJ?

Ah yes, i really treasure my foundation , lecturers were cool and pretty, and the best of all most of them stand out as not just a normal lecturer, but rather a friend, and a mentor. They really travel the extra mile just to reach out to students, i'm actually touched by their humility. Something which i don't see during degree level. The gap between students and lecturers is much much wider now.

Let's keep it simple.

BIGGGGGGGGGGG DIFFERENCE!

May I know what's the difference? Is there any difference in terms of qualities of lecturers and classes? I'm currently planning to go for UTAR Foundation in Science, I have no transport problem going to PJ UTAR but Kampar UTAR seems interesting because of it's building structure and environment. That makes me wonder whether I should go to Kampar UTAR to experience new things like learning to be independent, what's your advice? Anyone there to share your experiences with me?

lol, I'm studying foundation in science in UTAR PJ, the traffic congestion there is severe, sometimes u need to take 1 hour to get out of the campus to Federal Highway. And then there is no parking around the campus, so u need to arrive very early, before 7.30am, to get a good parking. If not, option 1: park very far away, then u walk for 10 minutes to reach the entrance of UTAR. Option 2: double park, but it's high risk because the shitty polices always love to give us summons. Sometimes, u will be shocked to know that you have receive 2 summons in a day, which RM100 for each.

In PJ UTAR, the toilets are smelly, some toilet bowls can't flush at all, some doors can't close.
In study facilities, the library is sooo small compared to my secondary school, the projector in the lecture class is bad, sometimes it shows colourful lecture notes, the computers used in lecture are from dinosaur era, the canteen will be flooded with water while there's heavy rain.

For me, PJ UTAR is not my first choice. =.= It's kinda sucks, but you know, cheap things...
Anyway, the education quality in UTAR is very good. The exam is quite hard, and the lecturers are good too. =D

good luck.

Currently I'm taking Foundation in Science at UTAR Kampar

I see. Thank you for your reply. If I could I would have chosen Kampar UTAR for foundation, but I don't think I can study there due to some reasons, in the end I have only one choice which is to study at PJ UTAR...well at least I will study there for one year only, my choice of degree is at Setapak UTAR and I don't plan to drive there by myself, so I think it's still acceptable... XD Thank you for sharing your experience.

Mind to share your experience at there? I would like to hear about it.
