well said nada...
every institution will have their own problems. besides, the grass is always greener on the other side. lol

the thing about limkokwing is the students dont like the lecturers and vice versa. students think the lecturers suck big time, the lecturers think the student are untalented.

for those who want to take up arts... please please please make sure you have some talents in arts first before saying that you want to be like tibor, or work for ILM.

i can see 80% of the students here (in limkokwing) are here because they thought they will be the hottest students in the world by being a limkokwing student! hey! it's not beverly hills 90210. and paris hilton is not studying here...

on the other hand... i can see the lecturers here are wasting their time... 9am, wait for 5pm to balik only... monday, wait for friday... weekends... 1st of the month, wait for end month salary masuk bank only. sigh!

tell students to be on time, but sendiri? dunno what time only arrive.

for those who wants to be an art lecturer, please please please be more professional... students need you... and try to upgrade yourself in your field. don't teach students how to design poster like how you did it in the 80s, or 70s, or 60s...

learning is, i would say, 70% from the students and 30% from the lecturers.

but the thing is, students in limkokwing solely depend (100%) from the lecturers...

they dont do follow-up. they dont do their own research.

they cincai do some work and expect to get As... and if lecturer give them not so good grades or fail them... they complain to the honourable tan sri limkokwing... saying that his dad, who is also a tan sri, pays dunno berapa millions for him to study there...

so, he must get an A, or a pass... when he produce works that even a kindergarden kid will spit on it.

so, lecturers here lost the motivation to teach.

either way... it's actually a chicken or egg situation here...

it's extreamly true that nada says they dont read. a simple project brief telling them what to do (e.g. deadline is on monday 9am)... and they still bombarded the lecturers on questions about when to submit the work...

nada, i thought KBU provides BA in graphic design also... better still, it's a BA (Hons)...

wei used to spent one whole day creating fake ice cream for studio photography... lol

LUCT after FEB intake... there is an APRIL intake

nah... the big intake it actually the FEB and JUNE/JULY
smaller one is APRIL and SEPT

erxier,
what's your purpose of studying in limkokwing?
afraid of peer pressure?

my advice, dont mix with those datuk's sons or any VIP students...
they are 100% rubbish and useless...
unless you are into being luke perry (beverly hills 90210) and wolf whistling hot babes in limkokwing and driving hot cars and being IN person!

you will be better off mixing with students who really study. and to be honest, there are some of them. it's the bad students who somehow make limkokwing's name bad.

i would rather go for the BA (Hons) and yeah, what you mean by them giving you 30k?

i think one should differentiate between a BA and a BA (Hons)

cannavaro...
wah lao! some computer mistakes i pressume by the admin people?
ahahahaa

some people choose to do foundation in limkokwing...
if dont like it, you are still with a foundation cert. and can go to other art colleges

UK BA(Hons) courses cost about 8,000 pounds for international students if i am not mistaken. that's per year.

4 years means 32,000 pounds.

we all love juicy gossips... wahahahaa!

no seriously... nada has a point.

as i have mentioned in my previous post... studying a BA in the UK cost you about 32,000 pounds for 4 years... academic fees only.

accommodations: if london... consider yourself to be paying something between 60 to 120 pounds per week. birmingham... which, suprisingly, loads of malaysian love it... 40 to 80 pounds per week.

food and expenses... is basically up to you how you wanna eat and stuff... self cook is of course cheaper but let's say you guys are too lame to self cook... so, mcdonald's... 3.20 pounds per value meal. miss chicken rice? chinatown have it. 4.50 pounds per plate.

for those who say studying in LUCT is the same as studying oversea, financially... please, like what nada said, enlighten me!

it's either your maths is sooo bad that you are getting both LUCT education and oversea education the same, financially... or you are going to revolutionize the mathematics er... theories/practices!

or you guys are studying in FIJI island!

they cannot start a petition because they hardly go to school until they dont even know where to start doing a petition

can i ask something?
how does one teaches art?

if the students do not have the desire to learn, or worst... talent... forget about joining any of the art colleges... let alone LUCT.

lecturers do not teach?
how can one teaches you how to draw if you DIDNT GO AND DO PRACTISE like what the lecturers have suggested you to do.

for those who said they learn nothing... well... blame yourself for it. the desire to learn is from nobody but yourself... it seems like you are not up for it.

i do agree with the fact that luct do employ early grads...

but i dont agree with the fact that the lecturers are not a good teacher. well, maybe some of them are so lame that even they make a sloth looks like a cheetah but...

you do have to remember this, at the end of the day... the cert belongs to you... so, it's up to you to give it an extra mile in running... most of the lecturers are tied up with industrial projects and some of them are even working in an agency.

so, you, as a student have to work particularly harder in order to learn something extra... the lecturers have no time to lullaby you. and dont spend too much time in lepaking at the makan-lah

sigh! nada... dont bother about them lah. they have their point of view. and it's their lost of not being able to understand what higher education is all about.

next week school starts liao leh by the way!
