Read the front page. Everything you're asking is all there. Including what you can and can't bring into Australia.

Sometimes why I bother when Malaysians clearly can't read.

can i make degree n apply scholarship in overseas australia after finishing my foundation study in local uni with high pointer?and can guide me how to do that?

Let me state up front Australian universities don't take kindly to these "foundation" programs. Which is why you will never find what "foundation" "pointer" you need to enter a particular course. It is all assessed on a case-by-case basis.

So you only recourse is to get the highest "foundation" "pointer" you can get, but don't be surprised if you still don't get the course and/or university of your choice.

As to scholarships, read the front page.

i mean that if i got high pointer,and in other way,can i apply scholarship from Jpa or any other scholarschip

Malaysia, transit to Singapore and then take an airbus to Aus

Ahaha, I am so happy ! Yes, doing the same course , Diploma in commerce
I got my offer letter, just the payment not yet done ...
Hmm, will be staying at my aunt's house ...
Where are you from and when will you going over o sydney ?

My impressions with Urbannest Brisbane is as follows. I cannot say its the same in any other states/cities. Your mileage may vary.

Its not too bad to be honest. You do get your own toilet, which while as big as a closet, is always welcome staying in shared accommodation. The rooms are decently sized for a one bed room, through you wouldn't be doing much entertaining in your room.

Most people BYO their own kitchen cutlery, through the basics are provided by default. You're supposed to keep to a cleaning roster for the common areas; please do so.

Internet is provided by way of a ethernet port in your room. Its not too bad (Brisbane's upstream is provided by AAPT, now part of iinet. Damn mergers), 500MB/month, so you wouldn't be downloading series after series, but generally suitable for communication. You can top up more data if you so wish: last time I checked it was $10 for 1GB.

Has airconditioning, useful for winter. The Brisbane one has a ping pong table and a social area. Oh, and newspapers (The Australian) is provided as part of your rent everyday. Just pick it up from the front counter.

I found the windows a little glaring through.

Overall its a very good place, especially in Brisbane being near almost everything. Its not something you'd stay in for the next 3 years of your study, nor can I call it cheap, but I wish I had this luxury for the first 6 months after I arrived.

ah that sounds good. When I check in on the Urbanest site in Adelaide, i'll be sure to update here. Internet's so expensive?! I think one forum-er mentioned about getting your own land line. Was hoping in moving in to my own place with some friends then that'd prob be possible.

I hope the one in Adelaide is not too shabby. It is opening their doors on 1st of February. So when I arrive I guess it'd prob be....9 days old?

Anyways just wondering, can you download albums and movies via Aussie internet? Someone told me it's illegal or something like that.

anyone here wants to get chiropractic treatment from leng lui? she need more patients to complete her hours, anyone can help?

good for you, rent there's a killer T_T can barely find somewhere cheap! mostly around 180$ a week!
the fees not helping either
i studied at taylor's in their foundation programme. and im planning to fly off 2 weeks before the commencement date to get settled.
you?

There is no option to have you own line in Urbanest Brisbane. Most of the residential colleges I have seen in Brisbane are also the same. You either put up with what you have, or alternatively try 3G internet connectivity, through I don't think the latter is much cheaper.

You're lucky, being one the first tenants to move into Urbanest Adelaide. Through as I said, you probably wouldn't want to spend too much time there. The common trend is to move out after 6 months once you're more familiar with the place.
It is illegal in most jurisdictions, including Malaysia, to download copyrighted content from a source that does not have distribution rights and that you do not have a license (yes, even music and movies) for.

The fact that you are not caught does not make it legal.

anyone in monash university, clayton campus, melbourne?

Alright. Thanks for the information regarding downloading.

As for the internet, let's say i managed to rent a house in the suburbs, with probably 3 friends, we can that get a land line internet connection right?

And for urbanest, my contract is for only 5 months, i HOPE to move out and stay somewhere in the suburbs; cheaper and once I know the tram and train rides well..
