if you are the type who never read and study everyday, always get bored, frustrated with hostel life, sick of looking at your bookworm roommates, always hang out at night, picky about food. listen to me and i warn you. GET ur damn CAR in sungai petani.

uni will be too generous to provide transport. 
orientation? don't worry. tell them you're not fit. if the seniors shout on you.    call ur lawyer. ur dad or mom.  direct them to give a call to aimst admin and the seniors will be in deep shit. 

Hi guys, i just received my offer letter from AIMST for the medic course. I would just like to know, they immedietly put me in a FOUR (4) person sharing in one room... 
OMG! Is it possible to ask for a single person room? i dont mind paying that extra 200~!!
Is the single room always or most of the time available?
Please help..>!

oh i see. maybe i am not gud enuff for aimst. sigh.....
IMU is way too expensive for me and i dun feel like getting a degree from russia or indonesia. So only PIDC and manipal are within my budget..

u came all the way here, but u dont know how to use google...go find another course lah
