what's the few differences between studying in UK and AUstralia?

Difference?

Time,culture.weather.......... and many more


maybe you should be more specific.

Way alot of difference, gotta see in which aspect u r viewing from. The most notable differences r the currency they use.
anyway, its hard to say, different ppl have different preferences on either country.

Yeah in understand you,went for it just now. Arrived at 950, i waited for only an hour. consider very good already =)

u mean just buy another rm30 bankdraft will do the job? so thats mean i'm paying using 2 bankdraft? will it works if pay using 2 bankdraft?cuz i scare they just only accept one?


seriously?when u apply for the visa?u post by courier to where? cause i'm staying at sarawak. so thats mean that 20 bucks is for the delivery fee or it is compulsory to be paid?

thanks for all the infos.really appreciate it~

hey im from sarawak too. I submitted my application on 8th of sept. I paid Rm1085 via Alliance Bank. Just say if you're from Sarawak and you wish them to send it back to your home address, you have to pay RM30. They'll hand you a big brown envelope and ask you to write your desired address on it. Well at least thats what i went through.

Hey guys whats the difference between Melbourne and say, London? Im speaking in terms of cost of living

It's like comparing KL and Kuching. Well you get the idea.

lol.ya..so u paid rm30 more for the delivery fee..so is there any option to pay by cash on the counter?or it must be paid in bankdraft?.i guess i need to cancel the bankdraft n rebuy the bankdraft...>.<...really troublesome...sigh...guess thats what the consequence of buying rm1055 bankdraft...

Would be more helpful if you can explain which one is KL and which one is Kuching.....

of coz london is kl and melbourne is kuching??

nope, i dont think u can compare by using kl and kuching. as both the mentioned city are big and competitive in their strenght ... how can it be comparing kl and kuching?! though i havent been to kuching i dare say kuching doesnt have a building which are over 40floors ..
In my findings last year, i have concluded that both cost of living in a australia and england is almost the same. of course it defers if compared a countryside to a city.
IMO and some findings, i find that is almost the same in melbourne and london, of course i do not have solid facts to support. but i got my findings from my uncle who is working in london & a friend in UCL, while ALOT of my same age friends are in australia esp melbourne (out of 10:4 ratio of ppl i know). I dunno y but my hometown here, folks are very fond of australia and everyone of them are taking those super long courses so they can get a PR there.
Both london and melbourne are big cities, so cost of living wouldnt differ much ... some might say melbourne higher as maybe due to tourism, and there will be some who will say london as it is a big business city .. i would say there is no determined answer unless one have gone and lived in both wonderful cities b4
that is one of the reason y i chose England over Australia ... feel like being different from my friends and go further away from them, esp when they come back and keep speaking their australian slang to me ...

edit: sry for typos .. lol

at the current exchange rate, in myr terms, there is little difference between london and melbourne in the cost of living.......if you got somewhere out of london, it's actually cheaper than sydney/melbourne...........

OMG. I just found out that I may have filled in my online application wrongly. Instead of Visa Sub-Type Tier 4 (General)(Sponsored) Student, I instead chose Tier 4 (General) Student. I assumed the Sponsored option is for scholarship only. I just applied for visa today. Am I screwed? HOLY COW

as for exchange rate, its very subjective ... pounds might be higher than australian dollars but actual cost of living might balance it out ... maybe eating a sandwich in london might cost 2gbp while in melbourne it cost aus$5 ...

btw, my cousin told me that if low on cash and wans to eat out .. head to ur nearest pub, u might be able to find fish&chips + beer for only 2/3gbp ... thats in nottingham though, not sure about other places ...

No no I'm not on scholarship. I went to VFS and submitted everything.

im from johor , so i guess it should be cheaper to courier here. Applied on the 2nd sep and still waiting for it now. That 20 bucks is for delivery only. if self collect is RM1055 Nett.

i see...so does that mean we can pay the courier fee by cash at the counter where we pay the rm1055 bankdraft??

well i paid by cash for the courier and banker's cheque for the fee. im not really certain since they never stated how to pay the courier but this is what i did and it got accepted by vfs

anyone here who visa rejected and go for appeal?
