SMR contract is 3 months , unless they changed these few months

u international student? @@

didn't ja know?

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?

nice recommendation of hotel bunny,but i dont think newbzie got such a huge budget haha.too bad in sunway there is nothing else at a lower pricing point and quite ok at the same time(sun inn n that hotel in sunway metro is considered budget hotel haha)

if only empire hotel subang was nearer i would have recommended that instead

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.

call them! apparently monash australia also need a bit of ''pushing and calling'' to get things done
not only in malaysia haha

my application is with the department of arts.
i called them one time and they said " let us do our job"

and today's a holiday.

1st experience of msian laid-back couldnt be bothered attitude.. i swear i want to strangle my msian counterparts sometimes

woo... even aussies too.. maybe it is a monash culture

yeaps... it is holiday today

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

oh i think they raising the price , i heard my friend discussing abt that....mostly international students stay in smr or sun-u , (more in SMR though)

imho the room is very small for me @@

i took this pic i went for viewing

hmm... i can get better price but then it is rather far...

i rmbered what my indo friends did... 6 ppl shared a 3br unit.... rm 3.5k/month... bought a 2nd hand mpv at installment of rm 1.5k /month... got housing n car.. like a hippie van

tq for sharing hope those guys are doing well n us proud

lagoonview but need to view the rooms 1st.pictures can be deceiving sometimes
and some of the rooms are not that cheap compared to SMR

Nautica is very nice as well but its pretty far and quite expensive as well.you might need a bicycle
have a look at SLV Community facebook page to get an idea of rental,etc

wah nautica seems nicer and more nearer than where im staying now

1year contract (sob sob) , no choice but to wait next year then

yeah SMR is raising their prices. rm100 more 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?

Ridzuan condo , really far , 7 minutes walk to pyramid then u either walk or sit bus to uni, but rm550

of course the rent in SMR is high, it's just next to the university. you can wake up 10 minutes before class starts and still reach on time

Where are you attach to now ?

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
