LOL!

Unless you have another one or two to choose from...

Going in September?

Added on July 4, 2012, 4:33 pmWhich pre-U college are you at now? If this is for September intake, isn't it a bit late to be only getting reference letters?

Lost out in citations.

Just FYI, in the extremely remote possibility that international students may be able to look for jobs, after graduation. The oversupply of IB jobs is startling, 142 grads going for 1 post!

For those thinking about IB, go watch this 2011 movie called "Margin Call".

Is that completely irrelevant to IB as a whole then? If yes, do educate, please.
Since Wall street the movie was also based on the US market, does that mean its insider trading plot was irrelevant to other stock markets? There were many Gekko wannabes even in the country, especially in the mid nineties. I believe some are still living off the gains made then...smarter than Gekko of course.

Will be interesting to know the numbers who left for Singapore, the default country by virtue of its proximity to home. Not sure about the lifestyle there though!

There's this ongoing "joke" among parents I know - that if the offspring is studying in oz, the chances of them coming home is rather slim, but if in the UK, then chances are high! LOL!

At the end of the day, I suppose the decision belongs to them.

That's good to know!

Tube in Nottingham?

Yes, they are around the same for all uni halls of residences in the UK. Do you get meals included?

I think as long as the food is decent, and they don't try and cook asian meals, food at uni halls should be fine. During my time in Australia, our meals were typical aussie fare, and it was fine. However my son did complain that the hostel he stayed in last year had rather bad catered food, and it was mostly because they were attempting to cook asian dishes which failed rather miserably. This year he was in a uni residential college, and he said food was superb, with formal dinners once a week, including a red and a white, as long as you're over 18. Doubt he will get to enjoy that in the UK though!

Am sure she will be fine, and adapt quickly. As far as weather is concerned, I suppose they have to be psychologically prepared to adapt that for the next 5 years at least. Exciting times for the young huh?

And I came back!

Just add up first year's course fees and the estimated living expenses, which depends on where you will be in the UK. It's normally stated as between GBP7500 and GBP9000. Not sure about London though.

There is apparently a notice at the VFS that medical check ups are not required, due to " Malaysian healthcare standards".

yes, son had one done in Australia, and Uni confirmed this should be sufficient.

Visa processed in slightly over a week. Application at VFS on 24th, visa received via courier this morning.

Are you waiting on results? Applicants with Unconditional offers would have been given their CAS by now.
