UTAR -> good?

i noticed that my post on segi college has had pretty many hits somehow but i definitely did not write anything nice about it.. coz what i wnt through there sucked... so since i'm an ex UTARian so i guess i should also write something about UTAR..


i'll start off with the pro of UTAR

1. its pretty much cheaper than other private uni
2. most of it's courses are credited by LAN which is suppose to be good
3. its new campus is really big, beautiful and conducive
4. the rapidly growing university is being affiliated with many world renowned universities
5. they are always striving to improve their standard of education and lecturers
6. utar certificated is well recognized by many private and governmental organizations
7. various highly demanded courses are being added into the list of offered course hence foundation in utar is highly recommended
8. enables students to be in touch with many event organizing to improve communication, management and social skills
9. provides good soft skill and other vocational trainings to students at a very reasonable price
10. the uni invest heavily in research and development in sciences


the con of utar
1. its highly populated with chinese hence the level of english language might not be as good as some other uni
2. the standard of lecturer are not well maintained but they are working on it
3. weak alumni community as it has just been founded
4. if not placed at kampar, other campuses might not be as condusive because some of the faculties are placed at industry lots


some other things why you should consider UTAR
1. our vice president Dr. yeoh is an awesome person. friendly, meek yet at the same time respectable
2. more than 80% employment 6 months after graduation
3. offers scholarships + master programme scholarship
4. offers study loans (PTPTN)
5. i dont know.. i guess coz i'm from there..


from my experience there its not the best learning environment but indeed my uni life where i was actively involved in events and socities was well worth. learn alot from my supervisors, seniors and other people. new skills, new friends, had to push myself through sleepless nights and all... made me a hard shell to take on the working world.


besides that if u dont think u r really smart u can really consider UTAR as u will be able to graduate. but if u are a high flyer, the moment u start getting results, u'll be really happy to see your name in the first class list during convocation rather than a second upper in some other universities.


think about it.. consider it..


p/s: this is not an advertistment but just how i feel and something to leave for my uni.. :)
