Hello guys. It looks like I'll be joining UNMC in September. I have already been informed about my unconditional offer and had the registration dates emailed to me.

My main concern right now is accommodation. Since I'm a foreigner, I usually get along with other people from overseas easily. I would like to start it that way. Does anyone know where most foreigners especially Iranians, Europeans, etc stay at. Is it the on campus or off campus? Where abouts?

Thank you.

I've been wondering about the same thing
Where are you from?

I'm Iranian/Turkish. Going to do foundation in business.
where are you from? Malaysian?

That's a strange but sweet mix Nope, I'm from Bahrain and I'm going to do foundation in science.

that's cool. good to know I won't be the only middle-eastern in foundation.

I think the best thing to do for accommodation for me is to get on-campus for a month, meet new people, and see how it goes. I wanted the housing option but I don't want to end up with people who might be annoying.

Exactly what I thought!
Did you apply for the accomodation or not yet?
My first choice was the single ensuite bathroom.

not yet. I'll probably do it by this upcoming week.
should probably hurry on that in case it gets filled up. lol

Yeah I want to have the single ensuite bathroom too.

I suggest you do it now lol 'cause I applied early June and no reply from the University yet. I tried calling them but it's always a bad connection.

For you guys who have received offers of accommodation, did you receive your offers through the mail or via e-mail?

-wrong thread-

By the way, it seems quite weird how long it's been they haven't replied to you. I assume you have emailed them about it?

PS: I just emailed it.

Yeah! The thing is I applied for everything through an agent here in Bahrain. I've got everything ready (even my visa letter and if you haven't gotten yours yet I suppose you go ahead and work on that too) except for the accomodation. I hope they reply soon, I don't want to stay out on the roads lol

Haha I hope not..

well I'm good with that. I'm already in Malaysia and sent the visa app to them. (living in relatives house atm)
if you continue to have problems with not receiving a reply on your room and difficulties calling them, I could help since I'm already here if you want. lol

That's really nice of you, I could really use some help! But I have to contact my agent first

So have you seen the University's campus yet? If so what is it like? I only know that it's in the middle of nowhere.

No problem.

Yeah I have. lol yeah it really is middle of nowhere. I like the campus. Very modern looking compared to the other universities in Malaysia. It has an okay library and good sporting facilities. There's this nice running track around this mini lake/park. You see it right when you enter the university gate before the buildings. I didn't have much time to check the canteen and other things.

That sounds great. I can't wait. I'll be arriving on the 13th of sept

what are the chances of going to the notts uk via twinning for the 2nd year?..are there very limited places?

What do you mean by "going to the notts uk via twinning for the 2nd year"?

Right now we have two types of transfer.

- The Inter Campus exchange programme, spending one semester or one academic year in the the UK / China campus.

-Full transfer, meaning you leave UNMC and complete the rest of your studies in overseas campus.

If you are talking about Inter Campus exchange programme,

Whatever the case might be, do seek advice from your school as well as UNMC International Office, they are the ones who really knows all the procedure and all that.
