My Last Day in MUFY (28/10/16)

  Today is the last day for me in Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY). It felt like yesterday when I started to join the the Pre-U programme on 6 July 2015. At that time we had the whole second floor of the South Building to ourselves as if the place it's our "territory". We always bumped into fellow MUFY students when we moved from one classroom to another just like in high school but there was a slight difference. You see in high school, we only bumped into each other along the corridor when we have breaks, gym class or going to the science laboratories but in college when you're heading to the next class, you always bump into your fellow course mates. 

  By the time I returned for the second semester in January, things were changed by a little- the West wing of the South Building had undergone a renovation  for the Sunway Foundation Programme - Foundation in Science & Technology (FIST) and Foundation in Arts (FIA) while the in the middle of the corridor is the Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT) study room. Our classrooms started to scatter all over the place but at that time it was not so bad, most of them were still in the "territory". We just need to get to the North Building early for our next class, usually it takes about 10 minutes to get there. If you are quick, I think less than five minutes will do the trick. If you are second floor of the East Wing, you just need to go to one floor down then you see a door on your left with the words "Exit to North Building". You just go straight and turn to your right, you'll see the lift. 

  The third floor used to be A-Levels' "territory". Now it had transform into MUFY's new office! There even have a study room for the students to do their homework during their break time to wait for their next class. I immediately "fell in love" with the place from the moment I  first stepped into the room. Not only for students to discuss their homework, also students can consult with their lecturers if they had a problem in their studies. Also, there is another short cut to the North Building. If you stepped out of the new MUFY office, you your right and walk straight up to a door. Once you entered the short cut, you turn left , you see the A-Level's office. Then, you turn right you will see the General Studies Room, TES office and a classroom in between until you see a wall with an arrow stated the words "North Building". If you want go to North West classrooms turn to your left while North East is on your right. And again, the place it's no longer available as renovation is in the process. 

  Okay, that's enough about the short cuts to get to your classes the fastest way. MUFY also have some co-curricular activities like the MUFY Games 
, Sharity Carnival and MUFY Talent Quest just to name a few. The lecturers in MUFY are super amazing! Especially the English lectures. I remembered during my first and second semesters, my English lecturers- Ms. Felicia Lee and Ms. Lim Ying Ying, used interesting techniques to make the lesson lively. Sometimes we are divided into groups to work with our class mates instead of just sticking with your own friends. Everyone makes new friends right? 

   If you are not "satisfied" with the score of your subjects in the finals, there is a chance for you an extra semester or which we called the "third semester". Some students think that the third semester is some sort of "remove class" in MUFY but I think it's a chance to prove ourselves that we could better than the first two. The best part is you choose the subject you would like to improve but be warned- not allowed to take more than five. I have no regrets of taking this Pre-University course. It's an experience of a lifetime! University life is waiting for me!
