I've just got unconditional offer from Nottingham for Economics.... not very contented as I still do not have the money to go despite that 25% discount cry.gif

Anyone knows how do I get to the university from Sunway Pyramid by public transport (bus or monorail/lrt)? How long will the journey take and will it be a pain? I hope theres not too many buses to switch or too long to walk to reach there.

You may take KTM and get off at Kajang KTM station I think

Apply PTPTN?

Other scholarships?

Anyway why did you apply knowing that you won't have the money to continue?   hmm.gif

Unless I get the 50% off scholarships, PTPTN would not be enough... entirely depending on scholarship.. on top of that, I still have to move to Semenyih.

You are asking why did people buy Toto despite for its probability to win the prize? biggrin.gif Same principle. I may not have the money but I definitely have the capability for it. If the end product (Prize) of that probability game would be so great and cover up the effort I put into, why not? tongue.gif I even applied to UK and got some offers if you'd ask me shocking.gif

And the application is free, I don't see why not tongue.gif

Your Toto principle does not apply here since you already know you are not going to win.

Unless you're saying the effort you put into it is trying to gain financial assistance/scholarship then that's understandable.

PTPTN plus other scholarships would be enough I guess?

We'll see about the winning part, I have until September O.O
PTPTN plus Tinggi Foundation, maybe. PTPTN plus the original 25% off, not really. Full scholarship, drool.gif drool.gif

OMG... I wanna slap somebody already. They forgot to email me the offer letter, I'm basically stuck in the process. vmad.gif

I'm not too sure bout the offer letter thingy. But I don't think you need since they didn't specify anything.

Yeah, Star Edu Fund is sponsoring a scholarship in Economics for Nottingham!

=S


Yeah I know about the Star Edu Fund bits... but it's not open yet, is it?

What are you talking about?

The only reason why I would give such a comment is due to the following.
As per the above two comments, is there any indication that manthew intended to work his ass off in applying for scholarships? It sounds more like a sit and wait for Luck to arrive, while wasting the time of those who process his application.

Anyway, rephrase: Knock on all doors and make all the phone calls you can ever make in your whole life man. Don't bother if people view you as an annoying person, in the end, you don't need them anyway.

I don't know why I bother. For your own good I suppose.

1.) As per the two posts you've quoted, was there any indications indeed that I did not intend to put effort in applying for scholarships? I don't know how the f you interpreted it.

2.) It sounds more like sit and wait for Luck to arrive. Which part did it, explicitly, made me a bum who waits for "luck to arrive"? It sounded more as if your part time occupation is a text reading clairvoyant (a phailed one, of course)

Well, I didn't exactly knock on all doors but I think filling up all the forms would do the job really. The only reason why you have given such ignorant comment is not "due to the following", it's your own blinded defects. You're not annoying, in my honest opinion, you're just arrogant and lack of interpreting skills. icon_rolleyes.gif My advice, don't blunder in if you don't know what the game's for.



p/s I'm still baffled by your claim even though how many times I reread it rclxub.gif

Alright man, or boy. blush.gif  You really didn't need to reply if you didn't want to.

If you do manage to get into Nottingham, which I do not doubt, given your implied results, I do hope they put you on a fast track to growing up, and at least work around this: "p/s I'm still baffled by your claim even though how many times I reread it".

And some tightening of nuts and bolts in your attitude.

That's alright, it doesn't take much effort to reply a post, especially posts like these.

hmm.gif I'm baffled not because I did not work around that, it's because your claim doesn't make any sense genuinely. I was actually expecting a further explanation than just "you don't know? work it out yerself matee and grow up". shakehead.gif Disappointed.

I'm not sure about the growing up bits, maybe I haven't grown to a person you're expecting, but what I can be sure of is that you have not answered my questions. Well, so though you're not obliged to, but for the sake of the readers and for me, please enlighten me us. rclxub.gif

Speaking of which, off topic. Did you learn your way to do the integration by parts now? I was surprised an university student was not able to answer that whistling.gif

hey guys, recently uk government is going to ban the foreign students for working in uk after graduation from universities which are in uk .I am very confusing about that, as i intend to enroll to university of nottingham (chemical engineering course), the last two year i plan to transfer to uk campus, if i can't work there after graduation , i think it is worthless.

Not true =)

But the quota will be lower no doubt. It's conservative party on the reign and "we toookk theirr joooooooobbbb"

I think life here is getting better. I just registered myself at the Disability Student Services department.

They are giving me so much support not paralleled probably by any other institution I've been to. And I found out there were alot of similar people experiencing problems like me too (albeit much severe).

I get to stay on campus for all three years and decide on accommodation type.

My counselor threw a small fit at some of the staff because I wasn't phoned or mail despite having stated in the application form that I had a learning disability ( and some other issues I will not reveal).


I have to meet the counselor at least once a week as she needs to check if I have been taking my pills and how things have been going along for me. She even referred me to a regular psychiatrist that most of her students see which is alot, alot cheaper ( I cannot emphasize this enough). Cost has been a major factor in why I have not been regularly following up or taking medication, so I really can't be thankful enough.

To all students and prospect students who share similar circumstances with me, I strongly advise you DO REGISTER there because they dispense infallible support. For people like us, there is nothing to be frightened about the usual stigma affiliated with mental health issues such as learning disabilities or mental disorders because very, very few of them equates to being psychotic. Students like us get certain assistance that will prove invaluable in terms of academic performance.
I feel very happy today biggrin.gif

Seems like everything is going smoothly with you.. Myself, on the contrary, is having problem with Nottingham Admission problems.. This is the letter I received today

I was planning to apply for scholarship with that offer letter now they're telling me "Gimme RM1000 or no letter 4 UU".. WUT! Funny shyt... If I have that RM1000 I wouldn't have to apply for scholarship.. 給他 zadou! I'm gutted! Definitely bomb them tomorrow.

What worries me more is UNMC's self accreditation status, I know it is a good thing that acknowledges UNMC's ability but I can't seem to find the code for Nutrition.  Doesn't that mean I'm ineligible to apply for PTPTN? Yes I have sent an email to Enquiry about two weeks ago.  And again, haven't been receiving reply from them. sad.gif

Call for Amy Han @Tel: 03-89248063

I encountered the same problem (BSc Economics) and Mrs Han told me that the School has submitted the application and it is recognised by MQA. However, they have yet attain the PTPTN code. And she also said (hopefully) the code will be available before the intake.. rclxub.gif That's for Economics though, you should give her a call regarding about yours. Cheers

Nottingham is getting more and more B¡tchy.

1.) There's a fee for accepting their offer (RM1k)
2.) The High Achiever Scholarship is not eligible for subsequent years anymore on top on the fact that the minimum requirement has increased.
3.) To get a scholarship from Nottingham for Year 2 and 3, instead of having to score only 65%.. you must now score at the top of 10% in your class.
4.) They have not changed their accommodation management company despite the agony of their students. (just something extra to add, really)


zOMG! I shouldn't have taken a gap year!

If i'm not mistaken, the acceptance fee is just a initial deposit from your fees. You still play the same total amount, just that you pay the $1000 of the total fees first.
*
Nope you're not... but it's a big hole to my family budget nonetheless. :s because in order to apply for scholarships (and PTPTN) you need an acceptance letter. That particular letter will not be given unless you accept your offer (paying fee that is). I'm not from a family with financial means, that is why this... thing.. here is really getting me frustrated.

Not unless you paid your acceptance fee. If you had, I think you'll just have to wait? I paid mine and went to semenyih to get it.

hi all,

i hv a house for rent. do you mind to share with me the golden time when most students will look for houses?  besides, where is the best place to put up some advertisements?

my house is taman seri impian located nearby the police station, i.e. going further down from Jln Broga toward the Chinese Templer and make left-turn when u see the signboard "Taman Seri Impian" b4 the police station.

i know the house is not in ideal location if compared to Taman Tasik Semenyih. however i am willing offer you with lower rental.

really appreciated if someone can enlighten me what are expected from the nottingham students.

thank you very much in adv.

Unless there's a transport (eg shuttle bus) to Nottingham, I would consider Impian really. But that's not the case, is it? Anyway I might check it out when I go room-hunting. PM me with your phone numbers.

p/s like tan has pointed out, I think you should really post up more crucial information here.. aircond, desk, washing machines and stuffs

Don't know what's it with all these "Chinese educated" stereotypes.. I am from Chinese school, Chinese is my mother tongue and I'm damn proud of it. As DJFo has pointed out; If you're persistent enough, you'll have no problem getting your English improved. Why not start if off by quitting the use of short forms?


on the side note;
