By a few days ago I mean on Monday, haha.. Well let me wait for another week :/.
Anyway, besides continuing in UoN after I finish my foundation, can I go somewhere else?

If going elsewhere is within your plan, why do you want to get yourself into the foundation programme in the first place?

greeting all (:

Long story short, I don't know what to do for a year.

I'm Indonesian, and I just finished my high school (Grade 12) last April. I've applied to INHolland Hogeschool (in the Netherlands) but I cancelled my application because time is not on my side (It takes a few months to apply there!). I'm going to study aeronautical engineering. Because they only have intakes for September, I've decided to apply for Holland again next year (for September 2013), so then I don't have anything to do for a year :\ (Take note that INHolland accepts my SMA UAN diploma). My education agent recommends me to join foundation for engineering, just to strengthen my mathematics and physics.

Well, so, yeah, that's my story :\

Well, if you have the money, by all mean do that. But, with a foundation in Nottingham Malaysia, you can probably hop around institutions within Malaysia if you have a good score, but I don't see it being useful anywhere outside of Malaysia (perhaps except the Nottingham UK).

I am unsure what is the equivalent to your SMA UAN diploma. Foundation here is A-Level equivalent (12th year of studies). If your diploma is equivalent to A-Level, I suppose things you learn here may not be a lot.

Who knows I'll end up in Nottingham UK?

SMA UAN is A-Level equivalent (12 years), but it is waaaaaay easier than A-Levels! (I studied both, but ended up NOT doing A-Levels). Even to enter Nottingham, Indonesian students possessing the SMA UAN need to do foundations first.

Thanks for the reply. but when i look through the advertisement for rooms for rent, i noticed that they say there will be no shuttle bus service to uni from the room. so it's either that i have to walk 5km from the room everyday to uni or i'll have to drive. it's just like Merentas Desa in my secondary school. Is this true?

Why not trying A-Level instead? More reputable and you may apply for other institutions over the world. Admittedly, that takes 1.5 years, but you can do it fast and have it done in a year (since you have SMA UAN as a base already).


Which area did they say there's no shuttle bus? As far as I am concerned, the bus service has TTS well covered and that shouldn't be a problem. My advice is to pay a bit premium to stay on-campus for a year. During your first year, there are a lot of things to sort out as you try to make friends, getting used to the studies, club activities etc. You may not want to have more troubles about travelling between your off-campus room and university. Plus, by the end of 1st year, you may have gather a group of friends where you all can rent a whole unit in TTS together. Knowing your housemates is a good thing for better security. Plus, if you happen to have a friend who does same course and have a car, you save the hassles to get to university in the morning.

greetings:
1)how fast is the internet in campus ( lab, library, wifi , etc ) , in campus hostel , TTS hostel .
2)how fast is the wireless broadband over in nottingham, broga ( maxis,celcom hspda , etc. related services )
3)anyone tried using directional antenna or high gain omni antenna, what speed are you getting from wireless broadband services .
4)routing/speed during peak hours to local sites . ( going to vpn my own unifi line at home )

thanks in advance .

Hi guys, I had finished my A levels just this july and enrolling for the september 2012 intake.

I got a conditional offer for mechanical engineering.

Are there any seniors from engineering faculty that can guide me through? I'm actually having a tough time deciding which engineering should I go for.

Otherwise sharing with me a little about life at UNMC would be wonderful too!

Hmm... I'm also actually wondering how frequent will the shuttle bus come along around the TTS area since i might me staying off campus.

See you guys soon
