Hi! I am currently taking the course so maybe I can give some opinion to you. You need to wait a long period for your offer letter since they need long time to progress. Haha. OK back to the topic. From I know, The lecturer in year 1 is nice. You will be arranged into a large lecture hall and having class with all your course mates. The notes usually will be provided by lecturer in class but sometimes they will ask you to print out from Student Intranet. Some lecturers like to leave some blank there and let you to fill in it ( To force student pay attention in his/ her class! ). Usually lecturers will put all lecture notes on U drive but some do not. They hope student can attend all lecture and get their own notes by themselves.

You can bring anything you want into the lecture hall. I think e-textbooks shouldn't be a problem? I didn't buy the textbooks too last year. I don't think buying them is compulsory and YES you can find what you need in the library. But the books always are borrowed by someone.    I am lazy and cheap too!  

No worries.

Nice to meet you too! I am a year 2 student in next sem. Hehe. The lecturers are nice in year one so you don't need to worry about that ( If they do not change the lecturer ).

For on-campus accommodation, uni admission office will send you the accommodation form after you secured your place. Fill in the form and fax ( or mail? ) back to them. After that just wait for the news! Btw, sometimes you cannot get your first choice room due to too much application.

For off-campus, you can find your own room outside. There are a lot of rooms available in TTS, BSS and Taman Pelangi. You can also refer some classified in Lowyat here! Usually the price of off-campus will be lower than on-campus.

true. all printers will start jamming and unable to print during the peak hour(hour before assignments deadline)

If you intend to do PhD, you should start talking to lecturers about potential projects. If you are a First Class candidate, you can start PhD just after your BEng, saving you time and money. Talk to some of the lecturers where their research interest maps yours, if he/she shows interest to take you in next year, then you can take BEng - graduate fast and start PhD fast.

Nevertheless, if research is the route you want, an MSc will be a better qualification than MEng as MSc requires you to complete a 60 credits thesis.
Get a laptop if possible. PCs in TISCRA have renowned reputations of giving blue screen during the most exciting time and auto recovery could fail. Strictly limit your usage of PCs in TISCRA for printing and 9gag purposes only.

Qualification and money. If you are a local student, you'll need STPM or matriculation to get into public universities - A-Level can't bring you there! If you are an international student, qualification will not be a limitation for you in picking universities.

Regardless of you are local or international, if you think you are rich, Nottingham! If you are constrained financially, need PTPTN for your studies, then if you still can go public universities and can get the course you want to, public universities could worth your consideration.

Maybe you want to tell us more about your situation?

I think it's worth investing on a good printer, make it portable and always stand-by in TISCRA around 1:30pm (for business school assignment) and 4:00pm (for engineering assignment) and charge 30 cent per BW paper. Should be able to turn over rather quickly.

I think 'Subject to receipt of a satisfactory academic reference' means your actual A-level result. The offer letter can only change to unconditional if your result reach the course entry requirement.  You need to bring your result too when you register to become an UNMC students.

Erm, like what jinjack said, it's better you confirm with them. By the ways, congratulations for getting the offer letter!

You need to find out about the possibility of getting the 1k back. If there is no way to get that back, no point you do anything. You dance Gangnam Style in front of the admission office also won't get a single penny!

I see. Then probably Dr Gan is the admission tutor. Just email her and explain your situation to her. But this is dtk88 or flourite93?

If you are sure you can claim back the 1k shall they reject you, then no point getting in touch with admission office? Decision is on the admission tutor, in this case, we assume is Dr Gan.
