Salam. Admin tolong post xnak post pun xpe.
Akak nak cerita sikit pengalaman waktu belajar sbg direct intake kt uia dulu. Korang asyik cerita pasal bercinta je. eh?.
Akak habiskan masa selama lima tahun belajar kat uia dlu. Setahun di celpad, 4 tahun di kulliyah. Mmg agak mencabar sbg direct intake yg x dpt masuk kuliyah lps masuk uia sbb akak x lepas ept. Dulu rasa down pun ada. Yelah, nk biasakan diri dgn sistem uia lagi padahal kawan2 lain dh start pengajian. So xde kawan lain yg tau except family ja. So rasa agak down jgk la waktu tu. So akak nk share kat sini kpd adik2 yg ada sama pengalaman mcm akak.
Disebabkan akak dh start pinjam ptptn dari first sem lagi walaupun duk celpad, so akak dh xde sumber kewangan waktu last year tu. Cuma akak mgharapkn bantuan uia dan kerja part time. Yelah tempoh pinjaman 4 tahun je. So nasihat akak, adik2 yg belum start kuliyyah, minta tangguh kejap pinjam ptptn. Cari financial support lain dulu. Mcm zakat/financial assistance/yayasan. Sbb korang kena fikir cara nk byr balik loan lepas habis study nnti. In case korang grad 1st class honor pun pt x terima sbb perjanjian asal dh berubah. Korang dh lebih tempoh sepatutnya habis korang tamat belajar. So cek betul2 perjnjian dgn pt. Jgn sbb excited nk dpt duit korang x buat research dulu.
Dan lagi satu, elok jgk korang consider pinjaman lain yg lebih membantu mcm yayasan/mara/negeri/etc. Mana tahu ada potongan atau diskaun lps habis belajar. Kalo ptptn jgn harap la ada potongan. Only yg grad first class honor je yg boleh ubah ke biasiswa.
Kalo ikut pengalaman akak, yg direct intake ni akan ada masalah skit dgn structure of study. Korang akan tend to not following the proper course outline. Sbb korang maybe perlu amek short sem sbb xdpt add subjek bila dh masuk first sem course yg ditawarkan hanya dlm the next sem, dan ada antara korang yg x dpt ikut betul2 course outline mcm bdk cfs yg lain. As a result, akan effect korang pnye pointer. Dan korang x dpt maintain pointer each sem due to the above reasons. So, the possibility utk grad first class is quite challenging. Lepas grad, ready la korang utk bayar loan yg beriban tu hehe.
And one more thing please dont differentiate yourself with cfs student. Mmg awal2 ade rasa down and x boleh cope dgn environment. Tapi lama2 nanti korang akan rasa better. Please enjoy the moment and look from the positive sides. Ada hikmah sebenarnya bagi yg masuk celpad before they enter the kuliyyah. Just you are the one who should try to look with your own 'mata hati' and define the hikmah. And please alert dgn uni's program mcm dialogue session with admin especially among direct intakes so you will know your right. Btw, five years is worth at this uni and the garden of knowledge and virtue will always in my heart no matter who I came in as before. Akak bersyukur sbb Allah dah pilih akak utk masuk uia. So utk adik2 direct intake, mohon jgn putus asa ^^,
