grats grats on orientation , let us know how it went.

that's alright , if it comes to around 15-20 RM for 2 meals plus i could buy some dry food items from 7-11 per week , that's alright with me so weekly expenses would be around 150-175 RM

Oh and let me know how the gaijin are

u're not a fresh intake student?
isn't orientation week for first time students?

guys , got 1 thing i forgot ask .... i heard there was a cap of 1GB usage on the wifi at uni ....

but there is also some LAN cables in library 1st floor , does those LAN cables usage have a limit of 1GB usage also ? during the campus tour , i think i saw someone streaming movies lol

btw alaskanbunny, when i land, do i have to go directly to the university?
or can i go the next day?
reason is , my flight will be landing late at night, so... i don't think uni is open that time.

sure ryan any info would be great

most likely i stay in sun u residence.
but i landing late , like 8 or 10 pm also
i plan either on thursday or friday to sort out any issues with my uni thing.

can i stay in a hotel nearby for the night then morning shift to the college?
or do i have to report directly to college?
monash does have pickup, but they also have payment if u come by taxi i think 64 or 68RM

Right , so i land in kl 19th night , 20th go to monash and get all formalities done,
20th get luggage transferred to sun u residence.

22-23 rest / explore

24------ orientation ,  blah blah...

plus which is your field u've taken?

i think there's a misunderstanding there... 'graduated' in 2010 at that time means leaving the monash msia campus to monash aus bcoz monash msia didnt have the facilities to allow for practical/clinical part of the course.. so those students that 'graduated' in 2010 are actually leaving for the aus campus.. and i believe this is true for the first 4 batch/2 first year of the course

correct me if i am wrong..
no, since you are landing at night.. i would suggest you book in advance and stay at sunway piramid hotel/ sunway resort and spa... you can call them and ask for discount or just book from here

around rm 300-400/night before tax... then drop by monash the next morning before you check out... apply for late check out...

do you have a confirmed accommodation yet?

i can only get a confirmed accommodation once i have a confirmed admission in monash.
i don't even have that, they're taking their sweet time getting back to me.

btw not sure if u noticed or not
sunway uni says the hostel feels in smr is 1150 /month for normal ac room , and 1650 /month for en suite...
but monash is totally quiet on the matter.

just wierd that prices went up again for no good reason..

are there good accommodations close by rent?

i won't be getting a vehicle anytime soon

any tips to study afw1300 ?

other places to consider, Indah Villa Condo, Indah Court, or housing area in front of indah court, PJS 11.

I am staying at a double storey house in PJS11. average market price here is around 400-600 for a room,

where is nautica located actually? when i was walking on canopy walk , i saw a cluster of condos beside a lake which is located just behind monash

is that nautica??? its very far from school unless u can walk over the lake lol

Where are you attach to now ?

lol usually i pick up on this stuff late...

anyhow ryan , i think i'll stay maybe a sem in smr , then see with friends to move about to outside place.
usually rent is suppose to be on the less expensive side..
here it seems rent is quite high , i'll have to figure out within the sem if i'll stay in smr or shift out with friends.
ah the headache of searching for a room...
nautica seems to charge about 5500 for a complete flat,  or around 1500 for a room.
not sure how lagoon view holds up , it seems to be more closer to monash than nautica , but again like u said , come there and see the room rather than not be sure.

@junolow , where are u staying as of now?

how do u go from nautica to monash ? considering to move there after 1year in my current hostel
