1. Should be very very few, don't think it will go over 10. There isn't that many people interested in taking a Master's don't they?
2. You may need to attend some classes in evening if the course (or part of it) you join is also offered as a part-time basis. This is to accommodate for those candidates but I don't think there's any lessons beyond 8pm.
3. Hostel la.. not hotel. LOL! Yes, each wing has a kitchen and a dining hall and a shared fridge.
4. There's gym, my friends do go there. Not sure if can be said well-equipped but at least people are using it.
5. Play real life slender since it's forest? LOL.. Basically rushing for assignments during peak season. Else, go somewhere else. The only entertainment here is Broga hill hike, best done in the morning.
6. Limited part time job like being receptionist of admission office, librarian etc. You may try to ask if you can be a tutor (since you taking Master's) in your department.

If your HSBC has some MEPS or similar thing, it can be used with a charge of RM1 per withdrawal made. Else you probably need to come to HSBC to get the MEPS system in your card. Withdrawal from ARM of its own bank does not charge so it's good to get the bank it has in the campus.

Thanks dude but I didnt understand half of that lol Not sure what kinda system the card has, will check on that.. So what banks can the on campus ATM be used with for sure? Without any charge?

Maybank, and one other ATM (I can't remember is RHB or Rakyat Bank).
MEPS is like a network that allows card (if enabled for MEPS or similar network) that does not belong to the bank to be used with that bank ATM as long as the ATM has the MEPS network enabled (usually yes).
In short, if you have a HSBC card that has MEPS, you can use it on a Maybank ATM (with MEPS enabled). There will be RM1 service charge for each transaction/withdrawal if you use it that way.

Wiki page about MEPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Ele..._Payment_System

Just got off the phone with HSBC, they said it is an international VISA card and can be used around the world.. I asked them to check on the MEPS thing anyway I have to be sure, because this is what my parents will use to send me rent and living expenses and so on.. I plan to withdraw it using my HSBC card and then deposit it in my malaysian account. Anyway thanks for all the help bro

Anyone saw the first house on your right once you leave the bridge from Uni? It's taped with Penguakuasa Majlis Perbandaran Kajang. o_O

hey jacktay94 and tanjinjack, really thanks for the answers =D

saw someone was asking the ATM, yea there is a Maybank and RHB (besides toilet), saw it when i was visiting there =)

Yes, you can use that as a VISA debit card (if that's your ATM card) around the world. But you can't withdraw money from ATM having VISA certification alone. You'll need something like MEPS - there should be an international bank network and HSBC (as a global big bank) should have those offers. Anyway, it should not be a good choice for long term usage.

The landlord run away or somebody sue them for misusing the land?

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

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.

wow so nice! I think I will have to go to Nottingham this week to settle my application.it's been around 3 weeks yet it is still not yet done. =(

Just gave my passport in to stamp my visa Now all I have to wait for is my accommodation receipt

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, a prospective student for this coming september intake. Application submitted on 6th of July 2012 and got offered on the 19th of July. Will be studying Electrical and Electronic engineering. Is there anyone studying engineering here too? Anyone taking same course with me?

Can I know how much can you guys earn monthly when u guys do part time job at uk?

Is the salary enough to pay part of the tuition fees?

Same! But i applied on 27th..i hope it wont be in a rush.

Correction: It's Affin Bank ATM not RHB.

Welcome to UNMC! As far as I know, MacBook can boot Windows as well, if you know how to configure it out.

The standardised wage is around GBP5/hour, correct me if I am wrong. It depends on your determination to work and your luck. My friend has been working like a dog there, and he was able to buy 2 units of MacBook Air, a desktop costs GBP 1k, so I think it is more than enough for your purpose.

I mention about luck here is because:
1. Your employer might be a cheapskate. He might need you to do some overtime without paying you the extra.
2. The demand of part-time job is more than the supply.
So, good luck!

Hey, E&E here too.

Wow! I just applied for my visa today xD. Still don't know what to do about my accommodation, on-campus didn't reply me, going to look at a room in TTS2 tomorrow (or the day after).

Yeah I know, haha, but I need to buy another copy of Windows 7 (don't know if "Indonesian technique" aka buy the pirated version is applicable in Malaysia xD), and Windows performance on Mac is not really great (I've tried), battery life decreased by a lot and the system goes on fire xD.

Don't get a MacBook. Why run Windows on a MacBook when you are paying a premium for the OS itself? While the more popular engineering software supports MacBook as well, there is no guarantee you an get a crack version of it running on Mac OS. In the end, you have to resort to the workaround of running Windows on it.
BTW, if you join Nottingham, you'll have free copies of Windows 7, Vista, XP etc.

I think you'll use MATLAB only for foundation - but if you intend to bring it to the Netherlands in the future, you'll need to make sure what they use over there. For foundation level MATLAB, any new laptop will do - even the low-voltage CPU you see in super thin laptops will suffice - but if you want future proof it, get something powerful.

Yeah I'm trying to avoid Mac now. Never use them but I've tried them before.
Maybe am getting this:

Full specs here

I found it in the HP Singapore Online Store, but when I went to Singapore yesterday I can't find it (only can find Envy4).

Is it available in Malaysia?
