Hey guys, first post here. I'm going to Nottingham in Malaysia to start my computer science degree this September and I have a few questions.

1) When does the term start? Specific date? Any place I can check?
2) Is Off-Campus Accommodation recommended? I'm particularly worried about the Internet Access. Will it be fast and sufficient in off campus accommodation. Anyone could give me prices? I heard that ON-Campus Internet is faster, is it true?
3) How far are the Edusquare halls from the university halls? Do we have to walk or take a bus?

Thanks in advance

Does the university allow usage of utorrent?

damn, i hafta find another source for tv shows den...I think im gonna stay in Pangkar/Kapas halls as well, they juz emailed me yesterday giving me 3 days to pay. Anyone else taking undergraduate com sci? juz how fast r d download speeds at nottingham for on campus internet?

i c, and when do we get to choose the packages? i thought it was already implemented along with the accommodation rates.

Nyone knows how to bypass the torrent restriction rule here in Nottingham? Strange, coz we actually pay for our internet and have limited speed (i got the 512kbps one) , why ban torrent eh?

Does anyone know how many ppl are in ComSci this year for UG?

Does anyone know if you have to pay for the electricity in d on campus halls? Kapas hall to be exact? Do they charge you for how much electricity u use?

rly? I heard from the CEO speech today that Nottingham got 69.4 in the SETARA scores...different score for every induction? haha...nottingham seems to be very competitive with monash ya lol

how do you get an account to OWA? is dis the account for logging in using the skul labs too?

i read once in d forum that streamyx cnnot be used in dis uni anymore? not sure if its true or not

if i recall correctly, didnt the induction chick say dat we gotta wait 1-2 days be4 we can use the intranet? Btw, can anyone help clarify to me the use of Athens and the shebolleh stuff is used for?

Addition: I heard you can connect to flying spaghetti monster using the SNS? Yet I cannot connect to the server ==, anyone knows how to play dota online using the SNS internet? Or did they ban the games?

Juz a quick question!

Is it true that the first few weeks does not have tutorial classes? Does this mean we are free during this time?

I see, it can be a problem as for some of them, the lecturers havent even met us yet

Does anyone know how to bypass bradford? I mean, I don't mind installing it if it only monitors but I do care about how it changes my system settings. Anyone knows how to use the UNMC wifi without the software modiyfing or restricting access to my own system?
