Please check below for update.

I have a room for rent for Malaysian Chinese, TTS5, facing the playground (so is very near to the bridge). Air-con, attached bathroom, big and can fit two people in the room, will have 2 PhD students staying (so they are the old birds that know everything about Nottingham) + 1 more person, rental price should be quite attractive I believe. If interested, please PM. BTW, it's legendary because I stayed in the same house before!

Update/more detail:
-Rental: RM600 (if not mistaken or is it RM700?) (does not include utilities) - large enough to stay two people
-Term: pay rental for 9 months but stay 12 months (no charge over summer break)
-Furniture: Bed, wardrobe, rack (all for two if not mistaken), in common area, TV, sofa, table, chairs, fridge, microwave, water heater, washing machine, stove etc.
-Walking time to Uni: 5-10 minutes to lecture halls (<5 minutes to get into university)
-Internet: Maxis wired 1.5 Mbps, monthly RM88+25, rental doesn't include internet and to be shared, strictly no p2p, torrent, pps, qvod, xunlei etc. - router will act up if detected either of this - a good thing I would say!
-Other utilities: Based on previous usage, our electric bill is about RM180 per month - that's 4 air-con running every day), water bill is about RM20 per month (or per few months, paid once, couldn't recall, LOL)
-Hidden charges: (and is no longer hidden now) RM60-100 for air-con service fee (one time off when you come in), cut-grass fee (to be determined among each other whether want to pay or not, sometimes landlord will come over to do it for free), cleaning fee (usually called every month, RM60 one time)

Any more info anybody want?

Run down zombie far far away land... If you don't mind the distance.. TTS7 is the way to go..but it's bit pricey though. I'm sure they are bikers.. I use to cycle to class too (from Pangkor Hall)..but when ur bicycle break down, the repair shop it's in semenyih town. Have to access by car.
*
I actually mind the distance, still haven't had any luck in finding rooms in TTS5 T__T
And I just realized today that my passport have less than a year of validity, so now I have to extend it first before I can apply for student visa rclxub.gif
Confused, don't know if I will make it on time rclxub.gif

Two existing PhD students are close friends of mine, authentic Malaysian Chinese (one from Muar, one from Penang if that helps in making decision). The newcomer is expected to be Malaysian Chinese as well, friend of friend of mine.
All guys!

The room fits my criteria, but I am not Malaysian Chinese, I am Indonesian Chinese, can or not? cry.gif

Neezhen: Wanna share with me? xD

I'll try to ask and see. If you can commit for 3 years, I think they should be pretty happy.

EDIT: Just recalled that you won't be here for that long..

EDIT2: Never mind, my friends still prefer Malaysian Chinese.

Yaaaa, cannot commit for three years >__<

I know, right. I sent my accept/decline form and paid the RM1000 on August 13th. Still haven't got my full offer and visa application details (I prepared everything already for the visa, just waiting for them to send me my full offer before I can apply for visa).

got my unconditional offer letter yesterday, and applied for my student visa today! Yay! I hope the student visa comes on time smile.gif

anyway I'll be going to Kajang tomorrow, can I visit the school? Is there anyone from the school staff who can "take me for a walk" in the uni? xD

trying to get a laptop, but don't know what to get. is a macbook appropriate for an engineering student? because in some uni their engineering software are windows only.
