Then do what I did, study hard and secure a scholarship.
If there is a will, there is a way.
Which ever university that you choose, there will always be pros and cons.
Cheers, bro.

Okay, you will get your money's worth in Monash =D

Yes, but not all the credits you have done in other universities will be accepted.
The lecturers will look at your syllabus and decide whether you can be exempted from similar units that you have taken.
For engineering courses, one would have to repeat quite a number of units.

Why would you do something like that?
By the time you get your results, it might be too late to apply for a credit transfer.
Plus, I doubt that Monash will accept credits from all four units that you have done.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the best solution is still to call up Monash staff for clarification.
All the best man.

what do you mean by that? specified course?
Electrical and Computer System engineering is more or less like the normal EE course but we focus more on computer system (digital) than electronics. The difference is not huge though

I believe it's because of continuous assessment.
Some engineering units require you to pass up a report every week.
It's not possible to squeeze 12 weeks of study materials into 8 weeks or less.

there are two types of accommodation.
type I is 8 rooms and a central toilet (3 showers and 2 toilets).
type II accommodation offers rooms with toilet.

1. The faculty of engineering is okay, I guess.
2. No, classes are between 8-6pm, however, the faculty will most likely avoid 8-9am and 5-6pm slots.
I have 4 classes that starts at 8am next semester though. LOL
3. For engineering, we usually have 3 hours of lectures, 1 hour of tutorial and 2-3 hours of lab per week.
The amount of contact hours vary depending on the unit.

Engineering students rarely get 2 hours, normally it will be 3 hours of lecture.

If you put in the effort, it is possible to get HDs.
Attend lectures, tutorials and prepare for the labs.
It is still possible to have a (relatively) good social life, good grades and enough sleep, especially in year 1. LOL
Good luck!!

Yes, you can choose one elective for each semester on top of the three compulsory units.

Yes. Welcome to Monash and also engineering.

Next semester would be my last sem in Monash.
Yes, I am studying electrical and computer system engineering.

LOL. Yeah.
The library looks big to me INITIALLY, but it gets crowded during exam period.

There won't be much distraction in Semenyih, which is a good thing for some people.
Are you joining Monash? engineering?

I did not make my decision solely based on the location la.
Well, back then, Monash still offers Merit Scholarship (50% or 100% off in tuition fees).
That was the main factor why I choose Monash.
I prefer Monash's campus too, it is smaller so I don't have to spend too much time travelling from one place to another.
Monash also has this exchange/study abroad program.
I did one semester in Monash Clayton, Australia. Had the time of my life. I think Nottingham has this program too.

Can't really comment on the syllabus. But I reckon both universities are good.

Monash has similar policy for its exchange program.
All the best in monash

To the left of the campus, there is paid parking; and to the right, there is (a small) free parking.
Parking places are quite limited. Students usually park further from campus. (from campus to rock cafe)
Casual wear, t-shirt and shorts would cut it.

From past experience, those who registered for the sms service would usually get the results by 4pm Sunday.
The delay might be due to a technical glitch or the NTEU ban.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the NTEU ban in Monash Australia, but you never know.
Anyway, best of luck everyone!

It depends. I think if you tell them it is urgent, they will process it faster.
Currently it is "peak season" for them as a lot of students are moving in.
