Getting Started Junior Member 262 posts Joined: Feb 2011 From: Petaling Jaya	I believe if it's not needed, they wouldn't even put there. Just to play safe, include it in your application. It's better to stick with whatever that is stated on the website. And just a reminder, once they decide that you are eligible for the programme you applied for, a preliminary offer email will be sent to you. This is NOT the Official Offer Letter. It's just a beta-release. You'll need to remit RM1000 as acceptance fee (it's part of your tuition fee) to secure your place, and confirm that you intended to study there before you are given a Official Offer Letter. And just one more page to 125. Is anyone doing the v4 page? If not, I'll gladly take the honour of doing it. This post has been edited by alexander.ch_1992: May 15 2011, 02:21 PM

Well then, study hard and get scholarship. Some of the scholarship comes with monthly allowance. I did not use my parents a single cent on tuition fees and monthly allowance for meal and textbook expenses. So, stop "salute" and "jelly" bout other people and start picking up ur damn book and start studying. Whoa your parents must be really proud of you I just managed to get my tuition fees covered. They still needa pay for my basic living expenses there.

Lol no la, didn't really wanna mean it in that way. Argh nvm about that. Hey is there anyone who's staying in the TTS area? Coz I'm going to study there in the coming September and currently looking out for room in TTS, not planning to apply for on campus. I tried posting in the "Properties" thread but it got brought down to the next page pretty fast when other forumers bumped theirs. If there's anyone who's in TTS do you mind doing me a favor by spreading my details to any landlords/friends you know that have a vacant room? My details are as follows. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A room for two males, Chinese, both starting first year, graduating in 2014, willing to sign for long term rent if the conditions are good. Preferably a Master Room (it's okay if it's not a master room as long as it's sufficiently big for two) With washroom It doesn't matter if there air cond or not. Budget about RM250-350 each (about RM500-700 for whole room), negotiable. Preferably in TTS 5, other areas of TTS are considered as well, the nearer it is to the campus/the bridge, the better. I'm willing to move in roughly a month before the semester starts, that'll be mid/end of August. Or alternatively, I'm looking for a whole house, for around 6-7 students, all first years students, willing to sign for long term rent. Budget about RM1500-2000 for whole house, negotiable. Preferably in TTS 5, other areas of TTS are considered as well, the nearer it is to the campus/the bridge, the better. *I'm willing to move in roughly a month before the semester starts, that'll be mid/end of August. You can contact me at alexong5011@gmail.com I'll check my mail daily. Please spread around/look out for me can? Coz I'm from Ipoh and I can't really get to Nottingham very often just to look for accommodation. Thanks a lottttttt.

There. I actually came out with a draft but nvm, I'll send to jinjack.

Show you all and please suggest the part you think need amendents. Suggestion!! Those who are already studying there/will be studying there this year, send a private message to jinjack with our details like course, which year, graduating in, so he get to organize them and include it in the front page. And the pay RM1000 to get offer letter matter is already listed in General Course Guide (2011/12), but it's not listed in the website yet.

Getting Started Junior Member 262 posts Joined: Feb 2011 From: Petaling Jaya	QUOTE(tanjinjack @ May 24 2011, 06:52 PM) Sweet, that will make it easier to let readers know about it. Maybe you can consider retake it in a better lit room for easier reading? Added on May 24, 2011, 6:55 pm Earliest class starts in 9am and latest can be 6pm. Roughly 20 hours per week inclusive of lab classes. Not sure if Civil has more of those though. If it's within 30 minutes of travel, it is alright. If it's more than that, you can consider staying instead. QUOTE(tanjinjack @ May 24 2011, 07:00 PM) One more thing. Can any of you who are in studying on-campus contribute in the accommodation section? Write out your experience and also include the various types of rooms and rentals, along with any service it brings (SNS, cleaning etc.). If any of you from university arranged off-campus (Edu Square etc.), please contribute as well. I will write for privately arranged off-campus. Maybe we can add in a section about facilities, talking about the TISCRA and the little green library. Of course, the humongous research building! And YES, please PM to include your username in the next version! Yeapsolutely, I'll get it done once I'm done with dinner later. Glad to see that we're working on to build a different v4. Might as have establish a Lowyat Club in Nottingham LOL.

This scholarship is only available for your 1st year. Check out the Dean's Excellence Scholarship (below) for scholarships as returning students. This scholarship, as far as I know, is automatic - you get it if you are qualified for it. Dean's Excellence Scholarships are offered to students who finish in the top 10% of their respective cohorts. Scholars receive a 25% reduction towards their tuition fee. Great thing about this is that if you enter without High Achievers but manage to finish in top 10%, you can get this. Bad thing is if you come in with High Achievers but fail to secure yourself in top 10%, you will have to pay fees in full amount. If you happen to have family members who were once studied or are currently studying in the University of Nottingham (UK, China, Malaysia), you may be eligible for the Alumni scholarship. You are in luck if you hold UEC. There is this very valuable Chinese Independent Schools (UEC) Scholarship exclusive to UEC holders. Sin Chew Education Fund and The Star Education Fund are also giving out full scholarships but are highly competitive and are only open for certain periods. Be sure to check those out often.

Still got three months left ny. :/ » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A room for two males, both starting first year, graduating in 2014, willing to sign for long term rent if the conditions are good. Preferably a Master Room (it's okay if it's not a master room as long as it's reasonably big) With washroom It doesn't matter if there air cond or not. Budget about RM250-350 each (about RM500-700 for whole room), negotiable. Preferably in TTS 5, other areas of TTS are considered as well, the nearer it is to the campus, the better. *I'm willing to move in roughly a month before the semester starts, that'll be mid/end of August. I would really appreciate if you could provide me with the address and photos of the rooms/house and I'm willing to go all the way to Nottingham to see the house/room if they're good. You can contact me thru email alexong5011@gmail.com, I'll check my email daily. Thank you for your time. Thanks again.

Getting Started Junior Member 262 posts Joined: Feb 2011 From: Petaling Jaya	QUOTE(DJFoo000 @ Jun 7 2011, 11:08 PM) I've seen a few double decker single rooms in Pangkor. As if the number of troublemakers in the halls is not enough. Hey I was wondering will it be better than the "Twin Share in 6 Bedded Flat"? Coz I've been to one of my friend's room before when I visited Nottingham last May, but haven't get to see the Double Decker room. Mind elaborating abit on how was it? From the Accommodation Form itself it's slightly bigger than the Twin Share one. Might be taking on campus if cant find rooms in TTS by the end of June/July. Added on June 10, 2011, 5:59 pmAh our thread is not polluted by the Manipal post yet. I'd thought it's Forum.Lowyat or my laptop gone crazy This post has been edited by alexander.ch_1992: Jun 10 2011, 05:59 PM
