Hey guys, I have applied for the course of Accounting and Finance (UWE, October intake) and I currently live in Dubai. Taylor's have started the procedures for my student visa and in my recent A-level exam I got 2 A grades (Accounting and Business) and a B (Economics), so I think that I am eligible for the Merit Scholarship (50%, i.e 8000 Rm), so I just want to ask whether 8000 rm would be cut from my tuition fees every year, or is it going to be cut only in the first year ? Any ideas ?

Will taylors be planning to have diploma in IT soon????

200 a month and 130 deposit which is refundable upon cancelation

Hello.. Anyone here is studying or knows a friend who are studying medicine at Taylor's? Please help me as I have something regarding the course to ask about. Thanks in advance.

guys, i just fail a resit exam in my sem.( foundation last sem)
do i have to retake the whole subject again? or wait for another resit ?

solved

please think twice before you come taylors lakeside campus,

think more than 2 times...if u plan to drive there !

sincerely..

senior.

car park problem?

I agree, the parking situation & condition over here can be very "atrocious"...

In addition, the human population in Taylors Lakeside Campus is also "bursting" with too many staffs & students all at once...

This new Lakeside Campus is also rather too small to cater to all of the programs (classes are sometimes so full that there is not even enough space to contain all of the students...); something must be done... (Perhaps an adjacent expansion/extension building.)

There are not enough computers (not to mention they are outdated & slow computers), as well as books & educational multimedia resources. (Drastically not enough to cater to the great student population...)

Not enough printers. (The printers are all overworked, and they are all producing flawed results due to overuse...)

Regards.

Hey how come u're interested in MBBS suddenly? I think you should try checking it at the website and asking the boards by emailing them to get a better answer instead of just asking here. They will give you a clearer picture regarding the approval and accreditation.

i plan to study at taylor lakeside campus,is e-tiara a good place for me to stay in?i don't choose my place as i heard e-tiara apartment is newer and has better conditions,is it true?thanks

word of advice. don't take this course.

Based on personal observation, I'd say it's progressively worse.

They're charging for parking in all areas except Zone H and that other area on the other side of the universe lake. The small part to the right of Zone H is reserved for drivers pooling with at least 3 other passengers but is open after 11am (or was it 1pm?). Parking in Zone H fills up pretty quickly in the morning - by 7:45 it'd probably have filled up to the electric tower in the distance. By 7:30 the first area's already full and you'll have to go across the bridge.


The general use Windows desktops are each equipped with a Core 2 Duo E8400, 2GB of RAM and integrated Intel chipset graphics - it's more than enough for general office productivity. And just for the record, some time during the previous semester, the Macs in the Mac Lab (not the dinky iMacs) were upgraded with Intel Core i7 CPUs and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards. The Macs in the video editing lab are fully-equipped editing workstations running on Intel Xeon CPUs.

So no, I wouldn't count the computers slow or outdated (and I'm pretty sure Taylor's has the resources to make sure this doesn't happen). If anything, the slowness is probably from all the crap running when logging into the campus network.

I personally think we have a good variety of books. Not so sure about multimedia resources in the library since I've never touched those, but you really can't expect them to keep the same number of copies of each book as the number of people enrolled in a specific course. But it becomes an issue when some lecturer or other tells you to get a book for something, but the library only has 3, for instance.

But it's true; we don't have enough printers. And they have this tendency to go down, so the queue joins up with the other printer queues.

And yes, we're suffering from an overpopulation problem. One of my lecturers admitted it. At one point we were packed into a lecture theatre too small to accommodate everyone, so some latecomers had to sit on the floor. And parking has always sucked since all faculties moved in, and it's going to be worse as the place gets more overcrowded.

There's some kind of Facebook movement going on with the Taylor's parking issue though, not sure what they're planning to do: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Taylors-Park...167187390023155

Thanks for sharing that Taylors Facebook link to the parking issue discussions.

Regarding the computers & library; each student is paying around RM 700 - 900 (depending on the type of course enrolled) for computers fees alone (as well as RM 500 for the library fees) in a semester; looking at the sheer amount of students in a semester alone; it is certainly not an excuse to be not having adequate book resources as well as better computers for the Architecture, Interior Architecture, & the Design students. (Where such an application intensive & graphic demanding course definitely require better computer systems; believe it or not, my old & cheap RM 2K normal consumer level Laptop is even more powerful than the Ancient - low specification Dell Precision Workstation Series Desktop computers in the "architecture/design" studio computer lab, in-terms of both specifications & real life usage... Just think about it... Desktops are technically supposed to be even cheaper than laptops of the same specification... Where are all the money from students going to... I've been using my very own cheap budget laptop all this time round to crank out all those master works of mine; as such, I can appreciate & thank only it, but I still need to pay for the expensive computer fees...)

Regards.

taylors hostel is small and expensive. etiara better, but you have to pay for the transportation yourself.

why said like that

That's kind of alarming. If they can afford the workstations in the video editing lab, the should be able to afford workstations in the architecture/design studio too, especially with the (pretty damned high) computer fees we're paying. Also, we desperately need more printers even more badly now the more the campus gets overpopulated.

thx for the reply,if i choose e tiara then i have to take bus.. does anyone know whether the hostel in lakeside has any room available?i heard that students can live in ruemz hotel on a long term basis,is it true?
