Hey,,

the carpark in monashsunway uni is especially FULL REALLY FULL on wednesday

Where else to park, even the sewage area is full like totall no space to park illegally also

I'm talking bout the unpaid forest parking of course..
Other Universities in malaysia that I have been, have proper parking.
They have so much free space but can't make it to good use
The paid one is fine.. I always used that when i took ALevels at Sunway in 2003 when Monash was affiliated. No problem whatsoever
By the way, which paid one r u talking about? Inside sunway college?

Thanks Top-Gun,
1st sem average 82.5 now, need to do abit better this sem for 50% scholarship.
I think you've got the wrong parking
From the main road, go past Monash Uni(Monash Uni on your left) and turn left at the traffic light. It's a very huge open parking lot which will cost you RM 2 per day. Not really far from the campus unless you park at the very far edge.

sigh..not enough funds go aus..=(

so we wont get week long hols for hari raya?? great...

for science?

because hostel rules must be back before 3 on sat and sun

Hie ! I Was just wondering if there were any students that transfer from :

VU program ( Sunway ) or UniSA ( Taylors ) to the monash campus?

If you dont mind letting me know how many exemptions you guys got?
did any of you by chance get into 2nd year immediately?
i tried comparing syllabus.. but im still pretty unsure.

thanks in advance!!

why is it sooo troublesome to get LAN exemptions..

haiz..

i went to monash today to hand in the transcript..then they say cannot..need certify by the head of LAN subjects at ucsi...

then go all the way ucsi..that person is not there...so i try go certify at registrar...go alll the way back monash...got rejected again.

tomorrow early morning have to go back ucsi again.sien ar whole day gone just like that.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

expensive... yes, unhealthy? nah.... depends on how much you eat only

i am sure if monash charges lower rent and have better quality control this would not had happened...

i bid to manage the canteen last time... i got 2 partners, ming tien from mayang jaya and the one from ss15...

but no, the stupid manager at monash told me the tender time is up when it was not... she looked down on me just because i was a student... ended up managed by all these small vendors that can hardly provide proper food

good example of satisfactory management was sunway canteen last time... dont know the state of it now

Sunway Canteen still sells bad food. If you are to compare Monash's one with Sunway Uni's one, there aren't much of a difference except Monash's cafeteria looks better. Besides, there is Don Don Sushi now and they aren't half bad. Japanese food has always been around that price anyway.
Now that you mention it, I wonder why. 

By the way, I can't believe you took the pics. I laughed my ass off. 

It's just that most of the students do not know how to answer a real economics question and Alvin being horrendously strict is one of the reasons to why many people fail as well.
Tell that to Dr. Nicole. She will be really happy. I can tell her for you if you want since I am rather close with her.
To be honest, this semester's Commercial Banking paper is one of the easiest in Monash history. We are expecting a pretty high passing rate this semester.
It isn't hard if you grasp the concept. Besides, everything is very easy. If you find Money and Capital Markets easy, you are bound to find this a lot easier.
I'd like to tell you that you are the first student I have ever heard that Business Law is actually fun, considering the rather high failing rate that we have. You see, the key to an open book exam is to have your notes (summarized) as well as tags to enable you to reach to the part you want quickly wasting little to no time. The reason why the failing rate is one of the highest among the Year 1 subjects is because students tend to take it too lightly as it is an open book exam, treating it rather lightly which in reality, the structure, concept as well as understanding plays a huge role in getting an HD or at least a P in this subject.
This is because most of the year 1 subjects are to build your fundamentals before entering into year 2. Similarly, Financial Accounting, a year 1 subject is to build the fundamentals of those who are not from the Commerce or Art Stream before entering into a harder part of accounting, like Company Reporting and Audit Assurance. 90% of the things they are teaching in Money and Capital Markets are pretty much general knowledge and you should know it if you keep up with the financial world and news except some of the key terms. It's when you enter year 2 and year 3 when everything looks totally new to you. Either I am getting this wrong that, you aren't learning anything because you know everything already or you aren't learning anything due to the lecturer's quality, which I doubt is the one because as far as I know, Dr. Nicole is one of the highly rated lecturer in the university.

hello, any easy electives in Sunway campus?
I'm business students.
hehe

Thanks for the reply! I need to know a rough description of the difficulty of overloading. I realize that it can differ greatly from one student to another, but there has got to be a yardstick I can depend on as an estimate. For these people you know, how did they find it? E.g:

-Is it possible to score 5 distinctions in a semester, provided you put in major effort? (ie. minimal leisure activities, minimum of 5 hours a day of revision). Is this only possible for *extremely* talented and intelligent students?
-Would very early preparation make the above achievable, ie hardcore revision right when the semester starts?
-How hectic is it, in regards to really score during an overload semester? Is dividing time in your life an absolutely pain?
-Effects on mental health, stamina and fatigue?

These are the questions I can think of at the moment. Thank you!

islamic banking ah? wow!
so bad im not majoring finance..
islamic sounds hard for me lol..
any other suggestions?

is Psychology units a good choice for elective? @@

any textbooks available/needed and anywhere to recommend to get them?

Ah, that's too bad. You'd make a cool tutor too.  Did you go straight to MBA?

Also, if anyone else could tutor me on Trade Finance and Exchange and/or International Financial Management, please PM me! Or if you could introduce someone, that'd be great too! Paid, of course!
