the bolded part is absolutely incorrect. In fact, this only applies to overseas top colleges and universities lyk the Ivy leagues and Oxbridge. Here in Malaysia, do you see big employers for that matter give a shit bout which colleges you graduated from? No! In Malaysia, as long as you have the paper qualification, people does not give a shit bout where you are from, since all they need is just cheap labour, especially chinamen companies. And Yes, the lecturers that i have are okay except Physics. The problem is WE pay exorbitant fees, hence you expect at LEAST a certain extent of quality, but if you are short changed with the quality of the lecturers you get, i ask you, won't you feel agitated and angry? It's not a matter of this happening in every college, but its a matter of putting your money where your mouth is. If Taylor's fees is only 20k or 15k for instance, them fine with that, i won't argue, i may even get a pleasant surprise by getting more than what it's worth. Put this in this way, you don't expect me to get a proton engine in a ferrari when i've actually paid for a BMW. And im sure you will agree that Taylor's college recruits student in such humungous amount that the place seems more like a supermarket than an educational institution. Go check out colleges like Concord College, Cardiff Sixth Form College and you'll understand what i'm actually trying to say. How do you get personal attention when your class is so huge like for instance, about 30-33 people. It's like high school all over again.

Hmm, I think KYUEM is more suitable for you.

Fees-wise, it is only 5k more than Taylor's, and this includes food and accommodation.

Lecturer-wise, some good some horrible. When I mean horrible, I mean lecturers with bachelor degrees in maths who makes more mistakes than an SPM graduate. Imagine someone who can't solve ax^2+bx+c=0 and that is my maths lecturer. But, you have seniors who will eat, sleep and study with you. With that being said, the answers to all your problems is just next door.

For class size, one class is roughly 12-13 people.

College life? Study.

Do take note that most people don't choose to go to KYUEM in the first place. In fact, most of them only know about it after they received their scholarship offers.

I can draw a conclusion that whether you succeed or not in your studies depends on you, not your college. The best student in KYUEM skips class just to study, FYI.

KYUEM has a lot of Indian lecturers, I believe. Generally, experienced Indian lecturers are quite good and dedicated to their profession.

Well, lecturers do move around quite often nowadays, due to the competitive environment and if the salary structure is not competitive enough, the quality of the programme will no doubt be affected.

Well, KYUEM has a lot of Malay lecturers. Out of my 4 teachers, 3 are malays and 1 indian.

If you look at it as a whole, I would say 50% Malay, 20% Indian and 30% Expatriates. 4/5 of the Physics lecturers are Indians, with the other one being an expat with a PhD.
