Hey everyone, I just got an email from UM saying that I’ve been rejected. I chose a course in environmental management (undergrad) and I’m an international student. My 10th percentage was 97.6 and 12th was 95.6 overall. I was wondering if I can apply to UM under another course again? P.s. I applied through an agent and hadn’t submitted my IELTS because they asked me to wait for a condition offer letter from UM first.

Hey everyone, I had a random question.

I’m planning to study at APU, and I was wondering if there’s actually a dress code for attending classes.

I’m not planning to show up in a tank top or anything 😂. I’d mostly be wearing casual clothes, long pants with a normal T-shirt.

But what if I wore shorts on a hot day? Would that be an issue, or does nobody really care?

I’ve heard some universities are super strict and make you dress like you’re attending a wedding instead of a lecture 😂. Is APU like that, or is it pretty relaxed?

i’m considering changing course into the IT field. would love to talk and get opinions from people studying or working in the field before i solidified my decision.

hmu if anyone is down or free to talk!

Im studying in form 3 , topping class and almost topping grade mostly, decent in extracurriculars and i plan to study medicine in monash . Ive heard its a challenging school to get into as id need 3.7gpa atleast and its still not guarenteed atp. Is it really that hard ? And for people that got in, what should i focus on that can impress them and effectively securing a spot in the school?

Context:

I'm already at my final semester in my bachelor's degree. Idk what happened to me but I just got a very bad day on the final paper for this one elective subject. My continuous marks are also very poor. There's a high likely chance I'll fail the subject. Throughout my 4 years here, I haven't failed any subject yet so it sucks I got stuck at the very end. Is it an excuse for my poor performance? Of course not. In fact, I probably deserve a failing grade for how bad I answered that paper. I might have to retake in the special semester and receive my graduation slip late.

Problem:

I got a job offer already and they're already waiting for me to give them my graduation slip. I'm not able to join without actually graduating. They gave me time until october. But the problem is the special semester finishes at the very end of september and I'm not even sure if I could receive my graduation slip immediately too. I might miss my only chance securing a job I really want.

Question:

The anxiety is killing me. I know that nothing is guaranteed yet and I should wait for my results. But I've already thought of wanting to give this context to my lecturer and maybe ask her to be more lenient with marking my paper. I also thought of rechecking my paper in case I failed while also giving the context so perhaps the recheck can also be lenient. Another option is to explain my situation to the company that offered me the job. But that would be such a bad impression to them. So genuinely, I'm asking for reassurance, solutions, and whatever that can help ease my mind about this. Thank you for reading.

hey gaess, I'm a finance degree student from uitm ( 2nd sem) ....so basically just now apparently there was a final test for subject fin533 but then I just aware of that fact right after the test already finished, so that means I've already skipped this subject and that's because I misread the schedule for that final test unaware there was an update that the test supposed to be at 8am today . So, what should I do or should I just resort to repeat this paper for the next sem ? I am truly own up to my mistake and dh nangis 2 jgk dh ngan lecturer and PA 🥹 about this matter but no update yet if I have second chance to do just the final test at different date or considering repeat the subject yet

im starting uni next year and im leaning towards engineering, maybe electrical or aerospace
my current laptop is not in good condition so i might as well change now since im studying now too
Question: shud i get a mac or windows laptop? im leaning more towards mac since its very portable especially without that big charger block but i read online engineering require specific softwares which is not built to run on mac?
Any engineers can share their experience 👉👈

*this story is about my friend’s group assignment, not mine specifically.
We had an assignment on financial management where we needed to write a report on any company that we choose and to make a presentation video. My friend, A, and her group were all doing fine allocating the task fairly until there was this one guy, he tried to claim A’s part of the group assignment and blamed her for doing “his” part even though task were already delegated. All this just because he didn’t understand the difference between his scope and A’s scope. And so the guy confronted A in their group chat and immediately got bashed on by their team leader BUT STILL REFUSED TO COOPERATE AND ACTUALLY DO HIS PART. The funny part? He never wrote a single thing. Cause A and the group leader were always checking the report and no other adjustments were ever made. Up until now the guy still blames A for doing “his” part while he never actually did anything lol. Then for the video, the guy stirred up problems again by claiming A’s part AGAIN and accusing of someone sabotaging him. The whole group got tired of him and eventually checked on Canva’s history (checking time, who edited what) AND THAT GUY NEVER TOUCHED THE CANVA LINK EVER EXCEPT FOR THE PREVIOUS 3 MINUTES. As proof, the team leader even screen recorded the entire history log to shut him up. By then he did his work but legit he was just repeating what his other groupmates were saying. The team leader in the end decided NOT to remove his name EVENTHOUGH HE WAS PROBLEMATIC AND OTHER STUDENTS EVEN KNEW HE WAS PROBLEMATIC TOO. So despite not doing any work whatsoever, he got an A+ for the assignment from my friends group doing all the work

I have currently taken the twin-sharing room in block A, and after seeing the reviews and the comments for block A i am not that confident atp to find it sustainable. Though the majority of the reviews sound to me like overreacting, such as " roaches everywhere "and it being absolutely disgusting.I would like to know realtime reviews not sum bs. Thank you in advanced for helping :)

Sorry for bad english.
Many of us are spending so much time studying that we forget how to bond with others. Sometimes, I feel like I have forgotten how to talk to people or make friends properly lmao. As a student, how can I change this for my future? nowadays i only consume time by studying, listening to music, and sleeping while most of my contacts are out socialising.

Once again, I apologise for my english and the stupid question.

I did an Semester abroad at APU and really fell in Love with KL. I am currently thinking about returning for my Masters degree and currently planning to go to Monash University. I am 21 years old, male and from Germany. What can you tell me about the Student life at Monash. Hoe international/diverse are the students? How easy will it be for me as an European to find friends/connection and how is Monash compared to other Universities?

Hi I'm D(M), 24 diploma holder in HR and graduated in 2023, currently working full time to save money to pursue a degree (I hope). I would like to ask for your advice on my current situation.

Frankly, I've no passion in Human Resources and the only reason I took it was because of family pressure since it was during the MCO era. Long story short I managed to get 3.61 CGPA in my diploma. However, I still can't get any job related to Human Resources/9-5 jobs (no luck gg). So I've been working in a basic retail store until now.

I saw lots of my friends are currently on the way to graduate in degree and even pursuing better opportunities. And I want to get back in my academic golden era (lmao). Now I'm dedicated to save my salary for my degree in HR (I'm doing MUET session 3 this year let's gooo).

Now the dilemma is I'm not 100% sure that continuing a degree course that I have no passion for is a wise move or not nor starting back to square one where I pursue diploma in another course at 24 (IK it's never too late but still). And even with my diploma I can't get any entry level 9-5 jobs as HR assistant etc

My initial plan was to pursue graphic designs or any art related course like animation etc since that's my passion. But yeah things went south and atp idk what to do. Should I pursue a degree in HR or should I take a diploma in other things and start over? Need some advice

I looking for houses rn but I need a roommate or two does anyone know where I can find is there a website or something I’m international student and this is my first time visiting Malaysia
