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?

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.

they will send u an offer letter, there would be stated the amount of fees for the entire year

as for the compulsory subs, thk u need to fill up an exemption form or somethg as soon as the academic year starts

hmm...try go to the website, iinm they do state the fees there

Payment receipt? I thought you only get a receipt after you paid something. I think most people pay on the registration day, where you proceed to make your student ID as well based on the receipt - at least true during my batch.
I think is a pretty new course, but should be similar to the 4th year of MEng, not sure if we have active civil engineering students here though. While you'll have your classes with the MEng students, I am not sure if there will be same students doing the same course since it's new.

Security issue is never reassuring here (all TTS), but common sense helps a lot. Just remember to lock your door, use more than one lock for main door, always travel in pairs/groups at night etc.
Shuttle bus will stop on the main road only, and thus you'll need to walk to outside if your unit is inside the residential area.
I think that's great. You get table, chair, wardrobe, bed - basically enough for one person's staying. If you paid over the weekend, there's no way they can confirm the payment. Just ask them again (if you haven't) tomorrow, during their working day.
