First of all, I'm sorry I neglected you, Xanga. I'm sorry about all the spidey webs on you, and the dust too. But don't worry, I'm here now, and I'm sick of the people of the college I'm studying at.
As a Malaysian myself, I feel sorry for my own country for the government has been using our national revenue to educate and feed a big bunch people that never learn. As a former chairperson of the First Aid Unit of the college I'm studying at, I had been doing 3/4 of the jobs of the main committee's, from event planning to secretarial to treasury, even cleaning is part of my businesses. It was like doing 10 people's job at the same time. Why am I doing them? I could've make them complete all the tasks and the most important thing is, they did volunteer to do the tasks. Shouldn't I let them do their own tasks? Yes, I should, and I did! We have 2 secretaries, and both volunteered to take charge of the Team Building Camp, I gave them the authority to be in-charge of it, when I was still the chairperson, but then, 2 months later, still no sign of the Team Building Camp. I had 3 major events on hand, a blood bank visit, a blood donation campaign and a 2-day first aid course in-collaborate with the St. John's, and there's an addition of a few college events' first aid duties to be taken charge of. Whenever, I ask someone to do something, if they're not giving excuse, like 'I have a lot of assignments to do, you know?', to escape from the responsibilities, my phone will be ringing every 10 minutes with them asking me what should they do or ask me to call some VVIP for this and that. Even if I've tendered my resignation of my position as a Chairperson, I'm still doing communicating jobs for the unit. Like I've graduated from the college and have nothing better to do than dealing with the First Aid Unit.
The lecturer advisors care nothing about it(they are in fact clueless about our activities and they barely pay attention to the annual plan I sent them), the unit members are being indifferent about the unit's happenings, the college staff pay no respect to the unit... Talking about the college staff, hell I hate them. We are students who paid every semester to study there, they want us to be on duty on weekends when they're organizing all those big big events of the year, fine. They want us to fill in 3 copies of these and 2 copies of those, then running all the campus just to get the approval from this department and that department and dealing with delays and miscommunication caused by not paying attention to us when we brief them the details, fine. We have done the best we could to please them, but in the end they treated us like puppets. Suka suka move the first aid room to the other end of the college, then notify us after they move everything. Suka suka come to transform the first aid room into a registration counter for the Convocation Day, without notifying any person from the unit. They didn't even give us a proper place to set a first aid station during those big big events. They even fit us into the room where the spaced was being used by some florist to store flower bouquets on the Convocation Day, and then tell us they didn't know the room was to be occupied by the florist.
They can scold the students and/or reject the student organization's plan if there is any miscommunication occurs among the students that causes them trouble(s), but if they are the one to miscommunicate, nobody blames'em. Well, what can I say? This is how the world is.
Anyway, here's my ratings for this college:
Study Experience: 4/10 The course structure is not bad, it would be better if they are not repeating a few similar syllabus in a few subjects. Most lecturers speaks fluent broken English, even few of the English Language lecturers have the same problem, if one is no good in English, he'll think the lecturers are doing very well with the language, but if one who speaks good proper English and paid attention to what they're speaking of, you'll find a lot of weird sentences and they usually use particular words repeatedly no matter what they're talking about. No wonder many Malaysian Lecturers are disqualified to continue their career in the education field in Singapore. As in lecturing skills, to me, they're just...so-so, very Malaysian, the 'Book Smart, Brain Dead' kinda lecturing styles, it's the culture that matters in this case, so I can't comment much on this.
Environment: 4/10 Despite the old buildings with old facilities and the double-parking outside the college, the environment is not bad. Best choice for nature lovers, but never a good choice for city girls(me). The college never provides toilet papers. There's broken facilities every where. And you can see cockroaches crawling down the foyer. *shivers*
Life Experience: 7/10 Studying there has given me a big opportunity to study people with different characteristics from many many different backgrounds. Being part of the First Aid Unit and working with the lecturers and branch directors of several departments, previously, had given me the chance to take a clearer look at how Malaysian Government works, which is rather disappointing. There's more than I could say, you need to see for yourselves. The more you see, the more you'll realize how brain-dead the students can be(They don't even know how to dress according to the dress codes).
Tuition Fees: 8/10 They offer the cheapest courses among all college in Malaysia. A student can complete complete a diploma course in 28months with less than 10k MYR paid to the college. It gives the opportunity to many students from the low and middle-low income families to further their studies. But what you pay is what you get. Which is why there's broken chairs and desks and microphones and this and that everywhere in the campus.
Overall Experience: 4/10 I regret studying there.
