Okay, I'm in! So, for accommodations, I'm thinking Sun-U Apartments, four sharing, anyone with any experience with the four-sharing rooms? Will it get too crowded/noisy?

Are you doing BCS? I have not decided which to pick yet. But if I am not mistaken the minors are very similar to BIT's right? By the way what do you mean by the course is a lot more compact/ less syllabus included?


Yes

4 ppl in 1 room studying or bangla worker?

Any advices upon Bachelor of arts majoring in psychology? Planning to pursue psychology degree, just finished AUSMAT.

Yeah, I guess so...

Other Feb students, where will you guys be staying? Sun-U or outside?

Also, any seniors here can share their experiences with the dorms? Thanks!

Blek. They lost my appeal I think. They ask me to give them again

hrrrmm....since when Business Commerce course require Add Maths as pre-req?

Monash's Bachelor of Business and Commerce has always has year 11 Math and year 12 English as a pre-requisite in which SPM's add math is Malaysia's equivalent to year 11 math.
Their Bachelor of Business or Bachelor of Commerce in Aussie would need year 12 Math.

looks like the criterias has changed over the years (was frm a very old old batch )

in a way, it makes sense too considering how crappy the SPM Matematik is anyways...

Crowded definitely. But you'll need to learn how to manage and coordinate the resource, i.e. space, and time.

Happens frequently if you're on budget. I know for a fact many tertiary students in Hong Kong do this.. highly expensive + super crammed.

local student. will be driving. buying a 2nd hand car seems much more cheaper than paying the exorbitant rental for the next 4 years.

i told you so didn't I?

I had some Monash/JPA red tape complications too, just got sorted out about 2 days ago.

Hopefully you can get yours done in time too.

Yes, I'll be in my 3rd year now

Well, if you have a look at the old course structure, you will see that a couple of units have been combined or taken out of the syllabus to (I guess) make way for the units you will have to do for your major/minor. For example, you will no longer have FIT2022 on you syllabus, instead it is replace by another unit called Operating Systems, if I'm not mistaken. You now do 2 math units over a span of 2 years, instead of 1 per sem the first year as it was for me.

I'm not too familiar with the majoring they offer, but I would think that it would be quite similar to the degree they offer for BITS.

You were from UPM? What happen?

I feel there is something inherently evil with their campus T.T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, about that... I started my 2nd sem as a BSci Physics student at UPM a few days ago. Before that I applied for JPA BEng scholarship for Monash. Thought I didn't get that, but then they informed me late December that I got the scholarship, so now currently studying in UPM till Orientation Day.

TL;DR - I got JPA for Monash halfway through my first year at UPM, so i went for it.
