Otherwise, save your money,

well i dont think i will travel a lot , places im probarly hanging out is uni + hostel + pyramid
hostel do have a unifi line , but its been 6days since i reach here and there was no line , cannot connect , other previous tenants says the line is quite unstable , most of them have their broadband
i play online games that require abt 20MB per match ( each match abt half hour) , and i do download many tvshow too
hey , since my october intake is a new intake , and our 1st sem probarly wont have any seniors around since they will be on finals or holiday
any seniors here mind giving any tips ? cafetaria / library etc

Hi everyone. I'm going to take my Sem1 test this year and I need some help. Does anyone here have the solutions for ENG1081 Physics past year questions? The sources are very scarce both in moodle and the library website.

not sure what's the whole idea of october intake though. finals are going on.. almost 0 campus activities.. these batch of students will be deprived from most of the stuff apart from studying.

a levels u will get a grade and also a percentile .... the percentile is not the mark u get from ur exams....it refers to how ur results was compared to other students taking the same exam paper
like if ur are 99% , it means u are the top 1% among the candidates , it doesnt means u got 99 marks
normally uni just look at ur grades ( A/B ) like need AAA or AAB , they dont look at percentile
90percentile above A* 80-90 above A 70-80 B
