depends...like pharmacy you will have to go UK lar..some you can do all local.

so what is the best option to opt for say if i would like to access to internet in my own room?maxis broadban/celcombroadband/extreme broadband/tmhotspot?what about the rate?thx

Really up to you lar...

Celcom now got promotion if you have streamyx, just add on another RM30 to get 3G internet access. Cuz their promotion is streamyx + 3g for RM108/ per month

Extreme BB you cannot BT, just to let you know.

TM hotspot just add additional RM10/ per month if you are currently using streamyx.

too bad cant bt ><...haiz...den less entertainment oledi..btw,i wan to ask whether if air-con only available in the RM600 room,i noe thats ensuite bathroom,but what if is there any single room wif shared bathroom equipped wif air-con available in oncampus ?

Is Seminyih really that far away? If you were to drive from Subang how long would it take?

can girl and guy shared in a single master bedroom?

What is the difference between BEng and MEng when doing engineering?

I plan on studying at University of Nottingham, once I finish my foundation I plan on doing Chemical Engineering at the Malaysian campus for three years and if possible complete the last year in UK. In order to do that I need MEng so all I want to now is what is the major difference between the two (BEng and MEng)?

MEng is 4 years course while BEng is 3 three years course.. IF not mistaken, we are recommend to take MEng as they are recognized by Malaysia Engineering Industy, therefore we can be a recognized engineer in m'sia.. Plz correct me if i am wrong

for business courses?

That also depends...this year they dun allow transfer students. But allow students to go for the mobility program ( which is pay Malaysian fees but can go UK ), but they limit the slots ( depending on students results and luck ).

Girl and guy share room in campus...I don't think so. Off Campus, meaning you find your own accommodation then can.

oh i see.. is it easi to find a house outside? how much ll it cost, u think?? oh ya.. y this year they don allow ?? means there is no chance for us to graduate in uk if we take ME?

Difference between BEng and MEng is of cuz with Meng, you will get better pay than BEng althought it might be a small difference. With Meng, you are recognised by BEM ( I think ). BEsides that, engineering course should be 4 years so it is better to take MEng because you can go to any country to be recognised whereas with a 3 years degree, you might have difficulties to be recognised in other countries.

it is possible to complete your last year in UK but you have to pay UK fees and you will be an official UK student not Malaysia student anymore. However, there is a quota for it. thus, it depends your luck and results.

Are you sure this year we cant transfer to UK ? i tot they sent email about this and the dateline was 28th for the transfer that need to pay UK fees. As for the mobility, the dateline was 29th.

jasperng, do u knoe wat is the minumum results to be an official uk student?

I'm referring to business degree course. That's what students were told by Brian Atkin.

Erm, why they are are not taking action to improve the quality?
Well, one of the reason is because there is monopoly of food. Honestly, the food has improved slightly since 2006, but just slightly.

Apart from the cafeteria, there is a restaurant in the Admin building, which serves slightly better food but at a slightly higher price. What extra do you get from the extra money paid is more comfortable environment and dinning place.

Internet. Hmm... If you are staying on campus and you need a connection to your room, I am said to say that you have to get it from Extreme Broadband. A small company contracted with Nottingham to be the sole provider of internet to the on campus room at Nottingham. Price is a little pricey but seeing that you do not have a choice, might as well get it right?

However, if you are more hardworking, you can always walk to the Student Association building, 5 minutes walk to use the free Internet there/TM Hotspot. For TM Hotspot, you have to subscribe it though, with RM 15 per month (I think).

But sad to say, I do not know why the connection in the Student Association building for both TM Hotspot and free internet is really bad on the top floor, but if you use it at the ground floor, you are getting wonderful speed.

Yup, too bad you can't BT. But there is always a way. That you need to come to Nottingham to find out.

Lesser entertainment? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on who you mix with? If you have friends who are download freaks who has like every new movie or series every week, you can have your own Semenyih Cinema.

If your friends like to play sports, you can play endless sports everyday. If you want to study, got library and the whole place is quite at night. You will be able to study.

There is no single room with air-con for shared bathroom. I doubt there is one, unless the new blocks have them. Not really sure though.

There are actually many places to eat. It's just that you need a car, and the mental strength of not getting bored with the usual food for 3 years?

There are 2 types of programme.

1. Mobility Programme
It is an exchange programme, where students are allowed to go to UK during their non-first year nor last year. What does this mean?
Well, it means that if your course is 3 years, then you can only go for mobility during your 2nd year and you have to come back for graduation during the last year.
If your course if 4 years, you have a choice of going either on the 2nd year or 3rd year but NOT BOTH and come back to graduate.
This programme allows you to pay MALAYSIAN fees, which is why you need to COME BACK HERE to graduate.

Do take note that you will not be able to get into this programme even though you apply as the staffs in the UK campus will be the one choosing. So you have to have good result plus luck.

Exception: If you are taking pharmacy course, you have to go there during your 3rd and 4th year, which translate to the opportunity to graduate there. Yeah, but WAIT. You have to pay the fees (of UK campus ) as an International student which could be double or triple the amount you pay in Malaysia.

2. Transfer Programme
This programme is a little special and it is SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.
What is this programme?

Well first of all, if you are going for this, be prepare to pay the fees (of UK campus ) as an International student.
Alright now for the programme details. This one allows you to go there during your 2nd year and graduate there. This means that you are officially moving to the UK campus and become a student of the UK campus. You will no longer be a Malaysian campus student (is it patriotism)?

You have to be very sure that you are going to transfer (by your first year) and not plan to cheat them by going to mobility and then requesting for transfer so that you can save on your money and graduate there. They are smart enough. Yes they are when it comes to money.

Alright for business course, this year, there is no seats available for transfer programme, which is why one of my friend is so sad as he was planning to transfer.
There is only mobility programme, there is, but limited seats. On average every year, probably 25-30 seats are only available for mobility programme.

Hope this helps.

Erm, it's actually down south of Selangor. If you want to go to Seremban, it's quite near, probably 20 to 30 mins of driving (I think). You want to go Melaka and Johor? It's not too far away.

From Subang? Probably 40 mins, if traffic is good and you are driving at a speed which allows you to reach there in such a time. If not, it will be 1 hour or more.

You are not allowed to complete your final year there if you study your non final year here. And even though you go for the exchange programme, you will still have to come back to graduate.

Want to graduate there? You have no choice but to take the transfer programme, but it is SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.

If you are staying under the management of the University's accomodation, then NOPE.
If you find a private house by yourself, then you can.

Hmm. A whole house, it's not easy.
A room? Then yes.

As for the cost, depends on the location, convenience, the condition of the house, the size of your house and the demand and supply of the rooms and houses.

My house is RM 500, but has no furniture except for basic lightings, fans, toilet stuffs and kitchen sink.
But you need a car, or have a housemate who owns a car.

if you want to stay near campus, be prepared to pay from RM 1000 - RM 1800 for a house.
