May 30, Main Hall – The usual swarm of “freshies” descended upon MMU in droves as the university opened for its June Intake this morning. Registration began at 8am.
The freshmen were required to collect their temporary Student ID and a checklist before proceeding to the Main Hall for registration. The hall was packed with hundreds of students in queue with many more outside the Student Excellence Centre (SEC) Building. Parents were seen waiting patiently at the tent.
New student Nur Najla who hails from Seremban describe the administration staffs handling the registration as “very nice and friendly”. Nur Najla will be enrolling in Foundation in Law. She said, “I choose MMU because I like the environment and I heard from friends MMU is among the best universities in the country.”

Two parents and their son who arrived outside the SEC Building for registration were spotted walking away in frustration when they were told by an orientation committee that they need to first collect a temporary ID and a checklist from counters at CLC Concourse.
“I couldn’t find a parking!” a senior student who arrived in campus said.
Orientation committee Christine Lee told neXus,”Some were rather frustrated because the queue is long. However, the whole registration process is going quite smoothly.”
