There are two methods to rent a room in TTS, first category being the ones managed by the Accommodation Office under the Pioneer Century company. You can obtain the form from Nottingham's website.

I think the houses in Edu Square are taken back from Pioneer Century right?

Anyway,



The second method would be private houses, this one are privately arranged between students and landlords, usually done verbally with some form of agreement or whatever.

For method one I suggest you take the form and fax to them, it's faster. And call them up from time to time just to check on the progress. It's early August already.

I dont think anyone would actually want to eat in the campus if they have a choice. Campus food are just too [insert own word here]. There is even one stall which has windows resembling a dispensary LOL.

But the Arab Food corner is quite nice tho.

You will see the "University of Nottingham" sticker on the side of the bus, it picks students up on the place which is exactly on the of opposite the stall that sells corn/jagung. It the typical Bas Sekolah, just with the Nottingham sticker on the sides. (Srsly I dunno why they dont paint the whole bus white with the logo on the side or whole bus blue with the logo as white. )

It's abit fugly, considering the fact that Nottingham should have the resource to use better buses.

Usually the driver wont check whether you are a student or not, I've been there four times without student ID (I'm starting only on the coming September)

Taxi from Kajang KTM to Campus in taxi will cost RM35 (single journey) You will see lotsa uncles (Chinese, Malay and Indians all One Malaysia LOL) outside the KTM station.

Going for Open Day eyh?

Added on August 6, 2011, 9:51 amTry asking Cottoncandyclouds about this, she's in that course right now.

As for your "Accredited by ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, and CPA Australia" I suppose it means the whole degree is accredited by them?

"Please note that the programme structure is subject to change, and the list of available modules may be modified from time to time" Why not calling up Nottingham/respective faculty and ask about it.

We are not officials from Nottingham anyway, if there's anything that relates with the structure and academic, it is still the best if you call up and ask (or even better, travel down and visit during open day)

"on 14acres of prime estate, best of msia"

Le reply from you know who.

What are they trying to prove?

There is a road you need to cross, the stall that sells corn is on the side BEFORE you cross the road. You need to wait for the bus on the OPPOSITE SIDE.

Bus schedule can be obtained here.

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/AboutUs/Dates...Shuttlebus.aspx

You're in extreme luck today, I happened to be still keeping a few of the photos that I took when I was bored while waiting for the bus to come.









[edit] This is the spot where I sat at the place that sells corn. The opposite place is where you should be waiting for the bus.

[Correction]

Usually I'll wait here.

I agree with that as well. We need something that won't bother that kid in Monash thread and something that can stands out as Nottingham.

Have been thinking of "A Queen's Award Campus" or sth similar

And @Vit, enjoy your trip to Nottingham.

I'm thinking of maybe we should put more photos in the -reserved- post in first page.

And about the tagline I thought of "A proud collaboration in Crops for the future" since it's Nottingham latest involvement in the research department - something uniquely belongs to us, something the kid in Monash can't argue with.

Yup, that's what they say in the website.

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Research/CFFRC/TheCentre.aspx

I actually like the "V4, always 1 version ahead of V3". The tagline could mean OUR V3, not their V3. It carries a double meaning. They can take it into their definition tho.

ME LIKE IT!

If anyone's looking for house/rooms here, there's a few threads started in "Properties"

Just spreading around.

Nope, I browsed thru Properties in Lowyat dy, try checking your OWA it's given out every Friday. I dont have access to that coz I havent even registered yet LOL.

[edit] Oops, sorry, my bad. There are quite a few more.



That should be it.

Guys,

pick up the phone and call them up already.

Pick up the phone, punch the number, quote your application number, ask. In fact doing it twice a week won't be too much I think, it gives them pressure (if they can feel it) and speeds up application processing (hopefully)

Don't resort to emailing, I tried a few times and the fastest time they give me a reply (which I still think is some customized generated respond coz it's awfully short) is 4 days.

Don't just sit there and wait, taking the initiative is part of being a Uni student. There will be a lot of applications since September is the main intake for all programmes. Surely you do not want to risk yours and get placed in some 4th or 5th choice right?

And Sara, off campus accommodation is about 2-3km away from the campus.

Here's a detailed layout of the whole TTS area.

Hey tjj I suggest we pin the map (and your reply just now) in the accommodation post in first page.. If not it'll be hard (and lazy for us) referring back once the thread continue to expand.

Just received the email regarding Registration Day for September intake!!

I suggest we change the tagline to "Welcoming all students for September 2011 (Accommodation ads on 2nd Post)" for this/next month.

I'll be there before 12th. Coz the Award Ceremony's on 12th.

MissIceRina we have posted the link of it on the first page of the thread, or alternatively you can just google it up. It's on the website. Why asking things that are already obviously there eh?

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Engineering/C.../Admission.aspx

There, direct link. As for the "am I too late for it". I dont think you are late coz it's just two days after the results are released right? But try submitting your application as soon as possible.

There will be shuttle bus every hour or so, bringing students from off campus (TTS area) to the Uni.

You're an international student? WELCOME TO MALAYSIA IN ADVANCE! And sry for being tactless earlier, I thought you were those Malaysian students who are reluctant to call Accommodation and choose to post here instead.

And trust me, I am just as excited as you are, even tho I'm a Malaysian student.

Agree! As long as it wont make us abandon this thread.

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.

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/International...oing/UK/UK.aspx

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/International...hina/Index.aspx


-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,



This post has been edited by alexander.ch_1992: Aug 14 2011, 11:29 AM

I think should be this one then (if I'm not wrong)

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/internationalo...l-exchange.aspx

Do check out this one as well

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=9555...622&topic=14652

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.
