any entertainment near utar pj? and how far is it from subang?

UTAR PJ near with Jaya One ^^
i think not very far..about half hour with car

you can try to check it with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency

now utar is all recognised le...
Even the eng courses is recognised by the overseas u


means u can go overseas one u r graduate.....to continue your master or phd

i saw some of you all use the high failure rate in fluid Mech (MMU) as reference. I m a fresh grad from Mech Eng course in MMU , and i can say that it is not because of the lack of lecturers in the subject, but fluid mechanic, fluid dynamic are the most difficult subject for ME in most of Mech eng students opinion. The lecturers for the specific subject is not bad... but sometimes these difficult subject just need extra extra hardwork lo.

In my opinion, MMU had proper facilities and some (i mean SOME only) lecturers are good and dedicated, for subjects who dont have these gd lecturers , we have to do more self study lo ... thats uni life anyway .

But because of the recent exodus of deans n lecturers, i think most is FOE . in FET malaca, every now n then we have a few went off la.. but overall in future dunno la. MMU used to have high standing in the employer's list sometime ago. But i m not sure about now, (had nt been in touch with current news)

The exodus from MMU to UM and UTAR, is depleting the resources of MMU, wonder why it happen... I m taking Master course in MMU now .

I have known ppol who kept failing because they didnt want to help themselves( only gf, clubbing), and some fare well even if the lecturer isnt good. It all really depend on ourselves, our effort.

MMU currently is a lil messy, its best to let the dust settle first. in the meantime Uniten might be a gd choice. haha my own opinion only la!

I've just completed my foundation in engineering and spent another few weeks in degree and i couldnt take it anymore.. MMU sucks. and i can tell you one thing!
AFTER THEY CHANGE PRESIDENT, EVERYTHING WENT DOWN.. IT WAS AS IF MMU IS BEING STRUCK BY TSUNAMI...
well, i agree that in uni life, most of it depend on our effort but at least a bit of guidance from lecturers right.. most lecturers just go in and read out what is on the online notes and out they go.. its better that we dont need to attend class..
and english wise, haha.. dont be surprised.. some of them dont know how to speak proper english.. you'll be surprised how bad MMU is now..

-FOE student.

Long gone the good old MMU during the late 90's and early 2000's.. Ever since Prof G, Prof C and other very good, highly recognized academic staff left, the reputation just keep going down..
I was a student there in the early 2000's

My friend is a lecturer with IT faculty currently.. Student population declined compared to the good old days while students from Africa and Middle East keep on increasing.. It seems the number of local Malaysian students are dropping..

I went back to pay a visit and to my horror, the building is badly maintained.. worst than public U despite paying 3 to 4 times higher for tuition fee.. Carpark is quite empty, unlike those days that its always full, until cars have to illegally park by roadsides.. that shows student popultaion has declined..

TM is back into picture, leeching profit from MMU.. while MMU trying to stay profitable, tuition fee is increased while lecturer's pay are pathetically low..

My sister just graduated this year.. she told me Tom Dxck and Harry of all sort of qualification also can get enrolled.. Unlike those days, it is so hard to get enroll into MMU.. I got a string of A's for SPM but after compare with my classmates, my qualification is the poorers among my class

UTAR is a non-profit, and subsidised by other organizations, thus tuition fee is less, and able to attact better academic staff.. Prof C is the new President there after leaving from MMU FOE..

Not many ppl shouting hoo haa about MMU nowadays anymore..

Non profit, not too accurate for UTAR, but certainly MMU has fallen compare to the previous MMU.
Fees no longer match the education it provide already.

What do you have to say as a justification for the load of smart students there? Smart student are aplenty everywhere and it is definitely not applicable to UTAR as a whole.

MMu,itzit good place to study IT?

People only consider MMU or APIIT to study IT courses in Malaysia. Here at MMU, we have 7 majors for IT degree.

From all the arguments I've seen, I would say UTAR is improving a lot since your Prof C is on the helm. Complaints are processed faster, results out earlier..... etc.

Oh, btw I'm a UTAR grad. So I know what I'm saying.

Added on April 9, 2010, 8:21 pmA kind note to those who thinks that entering a tertiary education institution is anything else than gaining knowledge, there will never be a best tertiary institution for you - other than a place that allows you do nothing else than self-indulgence.

Don't waste your parents' hard earn money.

heard and having the facts is different bro. And how can a uni be better without a change? According to Albert Einstein "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." So, if u never change, how can u be better? MMU is the only private uni to be listed in top 200 asean contries. Listed at 171. Remember that. and MMU's grads are still high in demand...

dude .. which source stated MMU is at 171 ? can't seem to find it

the one i manage to find : http://www.topuniversities.com/university-...ankings/overall

MMU nowhere in sight leh

I believe the 171 position was in 2009; http://pulse.mmu.edu.my/index.php?sectid=1...sect=2&artid=63
