On the day of registration, I need to pay my full tuition fees for a semester, right? (I'm in foundation), and as far as I know I can pay with bank draft, but the problem is I can't buy a bank draft in Ringgit here in Indonesia T__T, what to do?

EDIT: There are a few international banks here, I tried to look in their websites. BII-Maybank doesn't provide bank draft in ringgit, neither do CIMB Niaga, can't find any info on OCBC NISP and HSBC

EDIT2: Is the airport pickup required for every international student? I mean, I can just take a ferry to JB and take a bus to KL then take a taxi to the school, there's no plane from my place to KLIA/LCCT, and the closest solution to taking a plane is for me to take a ferry to Singapore then take a plane to KLIA (which is very expensive). If I don't use the airport pickup, what do I have to do after I've arrived there? (I live off-campus by the way), my student visa is not yet done, but when I visit the visa office they said that I can go in with a tourist visa and just submit my passport and they'll process it for me. After I've arrived there do I need to register with someone or something?

Dear Howang Tommy,
Firstly it is an optional service. Secondly If you read the "Airport Pickup Info", You will find the following matters:

Note: The airport pick-up information is only applicable to student entering Malaysia with the ‘Approval for Foreign Student Studying in Malaysia’ letter

I submitted the required docs for visa but still i didn't have receive any approval letter so although I have applied for the airport pickup but I think can't use this service if can't get that letter.

My flight is on 16th Sep. 10:55pm from Tehran by AirAsia X.

I believe a lot of these questions could be answered by the admission. Try to call them for quicker responses since it's close to the date already.

If bank draft in MYR is not possible for you at the moment, maybe you can consider paying via credit cards? I think CIMB or Maybank in Indonesia should be able to work something out. Ask them if you could get a bank draft in Malaysia in MYR even though your account is opened in Indonesia.

If airport is not convenient, I think you can always find a way to reach Nottingham yourself - it can't be required for every international students considering students from Singapore would not opt for air travel as well. I am not sure if it's possible, but a ferry to Klang (if that's available) would be more viable as it's nearer to the university. You'll probably need to find a way from Klang to go to KL Sentral. From there on, you can go anywhere including Nottingham (probably a mix of train and taxi, of just taxi if you just want to reduce the hassle).

As for visa, I think you will need to go to the Indonesian embassy some time when you are here. There's a visa office in Nottingham that should be able to provide you with the information and service you want.

If it's optional, then I'm okay xD.

As for the payments, can I transfer by bank (TT) then just bring the receipt when I arrive there?

As for going to Nottingham, I've been there and I know how, hehe. I'm from Batam, which is near Singapore and JB (not near Klang, that's another part of Indonesia, lol). When I went there last week, I took a bus from Singapore to TBS, then took a taxi to Nottingham (it was with my parents, this time going alone I wanna try riding the KTM from Tasik Selatan to Kajang xD).

After I've arrived there (around 14th Sep) do I need to report to anyone (that I've arrived there with a tourist visa whilst waiting for my student visa) or something? When I went to the visa office, they just told me that I can come in with a tourist visa to Malaysia since I've applied for my student visa and they'll process everything for me once I got there.

Anyone using any broadband around TTS area? Anyone can recommend me which broadband provider is better in the area?
Thanks!

Just curious to know, how's the internet speed of free WiFi in Nottingham campus and of computer labs?

Guyssss, to all those who sent a request to the Facebook group of this thread, can you all gimme a PM to my LYN inbox stating your Fb name please?

Just for filtering purposes.

Thanks much and enjoy the rest of the summer!!

Hey, first year Nutrition student here. =) Been a silent reader of the forum as I forgot my password. Finally got my lazy butt to reset it, so here I am!

OMG s-e-r-i-o-u-s? First year progressing to Year Two or getting into Year One this coming Sept?

Entering First Year this Sept. Feeling totally lost. =P
Don't see that many people doing Nutrition on LYN though.

I didnt know we had Nutrition

Oh lol. Are people doing this course such a minority?! =P

Nutrition is under Science right? I only hear people doing Pharmacy or Computer Science.

Yep, under Science.

Anyway, I suppose you are not a first year student? =S
Could you help me with a question?
I didn't do Malaysian Studies or Moral during my Pre-U, but I do have my BM from SPM, so I guess that is exempted. But will I have to take Msian Studies and Moral?

I am first year student. But i did my foundation here so I finished those subjects.

Yes, you will have to take and pass those subjects. And in Nottingham, there's no easy way out when comes to those Compulsory Subjects.

How long does it take? One semester? Feels like such a drag already.
Thanks for helping out btw.
