QUOTE(Enigmatic @ May 15 2008, 07:10 AM) Erm.. Jaden. Be very mindful of Nottingham's condition and teaching standards before coming here ya. Thanks. I am aware of the high fees and the condition in Nottingham. Believe it or not, the college I'm attending now is actually worse. My class has only got 4 person and the whole batch 9 person. About the teaching standard...I'll need information for that...I wonder if you know anything about the lecturers of Computer Science course?Apart from that, fees are relatively high as well.  |

QUOTE(Enigmatic @ May 15 2008, 06:03 PM) That, please ask exPeri3nc3. *not too sure if I spelt his darn name correct lol* Ya i added him but he was busy with exams the past few days so I'll ask him again when he comes online. Fortunately, I'm about the finish A-levels so i suppose i don't need to go for foundation anymore...Well, for foundation course, it's pretty bad. As in, the subjects they choose for you is bad. Bah. QUOTE(Enigmatic @ May 15 2008, 06:03 PM) What I've gathered from my friends in Degree is that we have decently BAD lecturers, some who don't even finish teaching their subjects and give you hellish hard UK standard questions. lol. This is bad news. Are the lecturers really that bad? I mean, its okay when they don't finish lectures but are they friendly? Will they answer questions if I ask?Get eXP to say more. Oh btw, one good reason why you shouldn't come here. Hate groupworks? You're gonna hate it more here. Especially when your helpful lecturers assign you to nigerians. Food is terrible so be prepared to drive or get good friends to drive you out. But it's pretty cheap if you eat mixed rice outside. Most people are kind, some are really b****y. Be careful with who you mix with. But you'll get to see all sorts of attitude here. Hurm.. Should I write a review? LOL Well, since A-levels is fully examination-based, I don't know if I like groupworks yet. But I'm pretty sure I'll hate it when i get to group with jerks. Anyway, how is it bad that when your lecturer assign you to nigerians? They don't do their part well? I believe the food there is terrible as many people mentioned it...anyway i wouldn't really care about that. By the way, I'm wondering how you feel about the Uni yourself...are you enjoying the life there or you can't wait to graduate and leave? |

Excuse me, I've got information from a source that says the open day of the Uni is coming soon, which is at 21st June. Can anyone from the Uni confirm that? Of course, any extra information is appreciated...

QUOTE(mentos09 @ Jun 28 2008, 10:35 PM) hey, share a bit bout the environment..coz im going there too Well...erm...i'm no good in describing these things. But i guess you can say the place is big, clean, new, spacious and uhh....cool. You can still visit on the next open day if you want, its on this saturday. I'm going to submit my application form on that day. =D QUOTE(iLLeGaL^pLaYeR @ Jun 28 2008, 11:39 PM) I stayed on campus during my final year. I can guarantee you (as far as I remember) the dorm is always clean. Well, except for your room. That is up to you, when you want them to come over and clean it up. Cool. I remember visiting other colleges, where i found out that their dorm looks like government flat.... Anyway, i found something funny in the dorm i visited in nottingham. theres a microvave oven in the kitchen with a paper sticked on it saying 'DO NOT USE THIS MICROWAVE. It is beeping as if its gonna explode.'. lol. This post has been edited by Jaden: Jul 1 2008, 10:49 PM |

lol. I went to the open day yesterday to submit my application form....the lecturer checked my letter for 3 minutes...then he said 'hmm....I don't see a problem here...so i think we will print you a conditional offer letter now...' .
 I thought the admission process would take 2 weeks to be done...this is way easier than what i expected. Admission form PAWNED!  |

QUOTE(laughing_tomato @ Jul 8 2008, 04:31 PM) What course you taking? Damn, now that you mentioned, i almost forgot i'm from klang valley too. I live in cheras but i don't wanna drive to uni everyday. A two-way trip = 6 tolls, + petrol is RM2.70 per litre now.... I've already applied for the on-campus accomodation but i don't think i can get it....Yeah... We people from Klang valley have the lowest priority in getting the on-campus one...  |

QUOTE(ychien89 @ Jul 15 2008, 03:31 AM) I have applied for the on campus accommodation for Sept Intake. Has anyone received their offer letters for accommodation yet? Those who are going for the Sept Intake. Hehe..Thanks.. I'm going for the September intake and i have applied for the accomodation too. Yeah they said they'll reply in August so we wont get to know so soon.Oh ya, by the way, the sports complex in the university is well maintained or very run down? Do a lot people go there to swim or use the gym? Thank you. From what I see its not very run down. I've seen it during my last visit on the open day and theres people using the gym even though its summer holiday. =D |

QUOTE(ychien89 @ Jul 28 2008, 03:18 PM) Just a question, I've already accepted the offer, but in the letter they have posted to me, I only have info on how to pay the tuition fees and accommodation brochures, and also the dateline to submit the LAN results. hey ychien, are yours a conditional offer or an unconditional offer?I have no absolute ideas on how registration or even the when the course will be starting. Do I have to go back to university to find out? or wait until they put up the news on the website for registration and etc? |

QUOTE(laughing_tomato @ Jul 29 2008, 01:00 AM) Yours is conditional offer? Yup. My results are coming out in 2 weeks time. =DAnd oh yeah, my brother is taking Mechanical Engineering in University King's College. He took BEng at first but he switched to MEng during his 2nd year. When i ask him why he said he don't want to go back to study after he started working. So he thought MEng is better. Don't know if this helps but yeah.

QUOTE(foolfighter @ Jul 29 2008, 10:16 AM) my a level result will be released around 11 august,but i have apply for nottingham ad.im here to ask will it be hard for me to find a room after that period.coz i will only decide whether i go for nottingham after my result out.thx hehe same here. As far as i know the campus accomodation has priority reserved for people living futher away from the uni. So, if u live in klang valley like me, mayb you need to worry lol. I've already applied for the accomodation though. |
