Well, you might have bus if you stay in Suriamas but please do remember the bus doesn't exactly stops in front of Suriamas. It stops in front of Ridzuan and you have to walk there. So even if it's raining, you still have to run over to the bus which is bout 2-3 minutes of walking from inside Suriamas. Bus schedule is not a problem since the bus is pretty much on track(according to what I experienced last year).

If you prefer to stay nearer to campus, there's Sunway Court(bout 10 minutes of walking) and Mutiara Perdana(5 minutes of walking).

Both of the apartment is almost the same. Sunway Court looks more expensive but its old while Mutiara Perdana looks abit cheap, but its really new and the environment is pretty good. It's not dangerous or anything like that. Another thing is, internet is not so good in Mutiara Perdana. Most broadband can't be used there except Maxis and its a pain.

If you prefer conveniece, Suriamas is definitely the better place since there's food and all.

I've never stay there before so I can't really comment. Actually, to determine whether the house is good or not it all boils down to your landlord. Its very important that you have a responsible landlord(ie: fix the fused bulbs asap, repaired internet lines, not a bloodsucker, etc). And bout the raining thing, I think if it rains heavily, you're still going to get wet no matter how near cause you still need to walk out right?

I understand your predicament. Haha. I was in the same situation as you bout 2 years back. Just get a room first. You can slowly look for better options later on. My first room was pretty much like shit. Then I keep moving around until I got what I'm happy with. Good luck in taylors btw. Taylors might be a bit expensive but its a really good place to study.
