l think run by china student.

Milo is essential at least for me bring the 3 in 1 if not then you can buy at UK at a luxury price. Maggie basically you could get it over there and it is not too expensive. You will have a lot more selection over there instead of Maggie.

I wear short sleeve most of the time during my studies. It is up to you actually.

The most important thing for me is dried meat (bakkwa)

For me
1 - Money
2 - food

This one is fine.
Its at KL by the way, at Jalan Maharajalela.

Hi, this is pretty urgent, so I'm hoping someone can help clarify my doubts. I'm about to apply for my visa tomorrow morning but I just realized that the fixed deposit receipts I have are not up to date (past the due date, the stated due dates are early this month). Would my application be rejected because of this?

I do have bank statements from each bank stating that the money have been kept more than 28 days, that it can be withdrawn anytime with the total amount of money for each account (though not amount of each individual FD receipt) stated up to date. Would that itself be sufficient?

If not, I'd probably have to postpone my appointment date tonight. So I'm hoping someone can provide some feedback. Thanks!

there is no necessity to update fd certs nowadays, as if you have automatic renewal, the bank should be sending you renewal notices, with start and end dates and interest levels....

if you have the bank letters, with proper letterheads, and with up to date information, you actually do not need the fd certs......however, i am not sure if such letters are acceptable, they actually usually want the actual statements themselves.......

if the accounts are not in your name, you will need a letter from the account holder to certify the owner of the funds allow you to use the funds..........

Well I heard many negative reviews on uni of Sunderland..Just wonder how graduates gain employment after that..is there any criterias to apply a student visa? There're ppl telling me I need an ielts score of 5.5 and above..What else?

if ur bank letter is correct, no bank statement is required. i submitted my bank letter only last week and got my visa in 5 days.

no need to make appointments for uk visa for group of 6 or less. can just walk in.

but i guess with A level students applying the queue will be kinda long.

you can make appointments online.....

if you do not have an appointment, you will only get served when those with appointment has been dealt with, or not at all, if all the slots have been taken......

this is peak period, with the a levels result just released, and final offers coming in, so expect big crowds.....appointment is strongly advised.......

I'm going there coming sept but I haven settle on my accomodation yet
wanted to stay on campus, but sadly they say its all fully booked already. So they suggested me Phoenix Court in city centre..Do you know roughly how far it is from there to UWE??

Welcome to Bristol.

City centre to UWE is about 10km away, which takes about 15-25 minutes on a good day by car. Roughly about 30-45 minutes by bus/coach.

There are plenty of accommodations catered for students scattered all around city centre, even some outside of city centre (e.g. Fishponds area). Free UWE coaches run from city centre to UWE or through Fishponds area very regularly on school days.

When will you arrive UK?

I'll be there on 17 Sept.
Still trying look for accommodation thou, every where fully booked already. Left Phoenix Court which is quite expensive

Anyone leaving this year ?
Its only about 1 more month before going to Uk.
Anyone excited/nervous yet ?

Hey liew_jls where do you live and what you studying in bristol?

You better get it sorted as soon. There are cheaper option but you will have to look around really. there are cheaper options (i.e. private renting) but may be difficult to you as you are new to UK. Or hunt/google around, there are plenty of agencies dealing with student accommodation in Bristol. Also UWE campus based accommodation is actually as if not as expensive than those outside.

I have tried looking for campus accommodation but sadly they say all fully booked already. I have no choice but to pay the deposit for this super expensive stay in Phoenix Court I thought of changging my stay once i found a cheaper one thou...
im kinda worry that the management would not allow me to do so lol , since i have chosen the 3 month installment

Anyway, do you have any idea about ..malaysian population in Bristol ?? O__O

how do u guys hand carry the big xray scan envelope/folder to the airport?

roll it up, rubber band it, and put it in you hand carry bag, it's NOT that big..........

you can't roll up an xray bro
I think you'll have to hand carry it.

yes you can........
