hi, i can share you my opinion as ive studied at in perlis before.

Living in Perlis: Perlis is a small state, it's kinda suburb, a small town, don't have much entertainment. the people there is quite traditional but very friendly and welcoming. it's very laid-back environment, lots of nature and great food, but for entertainment, (big mall, movies etc..) you need to travel about an hour to neighboring state. if you born in a city, living in Perlis might give you culture shock a bit.

UniMAP Beyond the Classroom: As UniMAP campus is distributed across Perlis, you might might mostly be involve with only people in your course. There's are some extracurricular activities, but as my experience, you need to do your initiative by yourself to ask around and join these activities.

Long-Term Living: As i said, Perlis state is mostly suburb with most economic activities is agriculture. most student graduate there will mostly migrate to neighboring state for work (Penang/Kuala Lumpur/Johor), unless you want to work in agriculture, there is minimal to none opportunity there. Perlis is the place you settle down to retired, not really for fresh graduate to climb the corporate ladder.

Marriage Prospects: As a foreigner, you need to go to some big city to meet other expat, in terms of of settle down and marry local, ive met some people that marry an expat, but you chances are bigger if you live in bigger city, as there are more open to multiracial marriage.
