I personally would rather not be 400k in debt for a piece of UCL degree if I can get one for free from NUS.
Would you spend 400k on your tertiary education, and be heavily indebted after that?

QUOTE(new~b0y @ May 23 2010, 06:55 PM) Recent changes in UK immigrations law forbid non-EU students (bachelors and lower) to work part time during their studies. Source? I dont recall that change to the immigration law They used to allow non-EU students working up to 20 hrs a week, but a lot of them abuse it by working more than that and skip classes. UK is in recession now, you can tell by the current exchange rate. :-) But who knows, maybe after you graduate, things get better.   |

Hey TS,
Just wondering. If you spent all that money and be stuck with a job that you hate in Malaysia for 10-15 years just because u need to pay back your loan, would you still do it?

QUOTE(zephyrus9999 @ May 25 2010, 11:52 PM) As some ppl mentioned, you can always do masters during ur final year. I believe with ur persistance, you will obtain some scholarship in no time. However, foreign influence is undoubtly useful. You could use that chance to communicate more with foreigners and abolish chinese-sticking-groups that gets you no where. Sir, that statement is true even if you're in the UK and only stick to Msians/Singaporeans. You can have friends outside your own race in Malaysia too  |

Er.. its quite different IMHO. The difference between Drake and Waterloo aint 400k. Being offtopic, I'd take Waterloo due to Canada's more lenient working permission and ability to apply for PR upon graduation |

@ccm123
Since the consequences changed, I'd go to Melb instead. You'll have permission to work for certain hours every week - try to cashflow your life on that instead. |
