Don't ask the obvious, ofc it's comfy and nice
It'll be pain in the *** when you share a room with other people, and even worse 6 person in an apa rtment.

I was told that all first year students are required to stay in the school hostel, can anyone please confirm this?

May I know did the loan from PTPTN enough to study in bachelor courses there? Or we still need to borrow it from somewhere?

I thought that it should be first timer's to nottingham? Not too sure about that either.

Isn't that unfair practice? I mean, you choose to study there, but you didn't choose to stay in there, right?

At first I thought so, but, you know when you settle down in campus you'll notice the difference from staying in off campus, provided that you are already staying in off-campus for quite sometime...

You mind elaborate more on that? Thinking of staying outside after i read the comments about the management, and the inability for me to get proper internet access as I BT a lot. Other than the internet aspect, please do tell me more of the difference.

In Campus
- More facilities available - Computer Lab, Gym, Cafeteria, Library
- Pay more than outside rental
- Accomodation sucks in everything besides accepting money from you
- Food inside sucks too, but depends on ppl also, most of the time it's 99%
- Access to campus very fast, no matter where ya walking from and to
- You can BT, if you know how

Off-Campus
- Less facilities - No gym, no lab, no cafeteria besides DejaVu and ForestBar atm, or mamak
- Pay less than in campus
- Accomodation not bad
- No access to internet most of the place, if they do provide I don't think you can BT.
- Food outside is way better, but it's in Semenyih, you gotta travel out somehow
- It's more peaceful at night off-campus, some hooligans, erm, students la like to make noise after 12... Like the foundation in engineering guys la.. Dota from 10pm-4am = =

Guess that's all

On campus they block BT again recently....damn it...

most likely me and my friends will join nottingham this september for chemical engineering and econ just went open day on last saturday,CHUN lucky i live near by

Year what?

I'm going to Annual Dinner.. Anyone else going?

It's too expensive... RM 100 +- And I didn't bring my suit, oh wait I don't even have a formal suit

Just FYI, PTPTN loans vary for every individuals. For me, i had to fork out 8k as i got 6k for my current sem. Hope you're lucky to get full loan. Good Luck.

if you are bumi try applying for mara scholarship.
there are lots of mara scholars here.

soooooo true....

Nottingham does not allow PTPTN loan for their foundation programme, and even if you managed to secure a loan from PTPTN for your degree programme, Nottingham will only allow a 60-70% loan. You will still have to fork out the balance. However, they do grant a merit award of a discount of 25% for high achievers and you can apply to the Star education fund for a scholarship.

and do you have any problem with that?

i'll be leaving kuching for UNIM on the 12th this month. gona take foundation in business . i'm also going to stay on campus.

so do you guys have any tips for me?? (for example: what to bring here, what to buy, what to prepare myself with etc....)

all opinions are welcome!!

I guess I'll be going there with no accommodation now. DARN.
Promise wanna email me waited for a week also no email.

Bah.. Even before my studying I am already pissed off with that Pioneer thing already.
