Comments on: UUM Students Faced With Immature Dress Code http://www.chankelwin.com/2007/08/04/uum-students-faced-with-immature-dress-code/ My personal views on Malaysia and the world around me Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:12:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jenna http://www.chankelwin.com/2007/08/04/uum-students-faced-with-immature-dress-code/#comment-70086 Jenna Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:43:34 +0000 http://www.chankelwin.com/2007/08/04/uum-students-faced-with-immature-dress-code/#comment-70086 In my opinion, this university is really overstrict and sucks. They are just treated all the students studying in this university like a small kid attending primary school or secondary school. With the new dress code and whatsoever rules implemented, it sounds like not a uni life at all. I believe other universities are not as strict as this so. Furthermore, I heard that if any of the students who didn't follow the uni rules, they will be fine/summons where students need "pay for their mistakes". Maybe in the uni point of view is to be sure all students will follow the rules but to me as an outsiders, it seems like this university is trying to earn money in a "smart way" from students. There is no freedom at all for students and it was like studying in a lockup jail or worse; hell. To achieve good outcomes, isn't that the university should concerns on students which should be encouraging, satisfaction, to be able to let students to study in a good environment and with certain freedom? Or shall I said that the university management is lack of psychology knowledge? Did they really know or understand what's the need of a student life in university? The university just didn't realize the going-to-be big mistake of implementing their new rules. This is just discouraging and make the university reputation goes bad and ended up students won't want to further study in this university anymore. As I know there are many foreign students studying there as well.. so with this new rules, do you think the foreign open minded style of people will dare and wanted to further studying in this narrow minded and overstrict uni? Try to think again.. all students are paying to further studying there too. With this overstrict on going, in the long run, the university will just ended up "bankrupt".

The most ridiculous thing is, the university makes its sick students wear formal attire in order to be treated at the health centre. How stupid is that??? The authorities are adamant and would never change the dress code even for the students who wish to seek treatment at the health centre in the foreseeable future... Quite depressing really. Some staff are just downright rude and there's this hostel admin who shouted at me for wearing shorts. It is true when we say that first impression matters. But our character and how we carry ourselves reflect what is within. The imposition of these ABSURD rules is certainly a reflection of this ugly, immature bullies who throw their weight around but are actually nobodies outside of the uni. I'll be graduating soon... Almost 3 years here is like hell and it really made me stronger(only thing to be thankful for). Suck on this eminent mgmt uni!!! The dress code is still in place.

Is it? Anyway, some students seem to accept the dress code while others don't. However, I still don't see why decent casual wear should be prohibited. It is how a student brings him/herself -- thoughts, actions, knowledge, etc -- that portrays a smart and confident character, not merely by what they dress in. @Richmond Good for you that you had extra brownie points due to your dressing. I agree that we should keep an open mind on things. On the other hand, there are some giant companies out there that probably doesn't care what you dress in. I don't think it takes 3 or 4 years of constant training/forcing you to dress up formally to enable a student to look professional in the future. @emmanuel You can get more information on the UUM's official website at http://www.uum.edu.my/ @totty
