.... Monash foundation got larh daikor hahaa

IMO, both colleges are equally good. However,Taylors fees is more expensive then Sunway's.

I choose Sunway to do AUSMAT, over Taylors SAM.I didnt take Alevels so i cant comment much. Reasons why i chose Sunway was, I felt that Taylor's College there's too many people going to Taylor's.(Taylors SAM around 700+ student VS Sunway AUSMAT 400 Students) Not sure is the no. of student is accurate for Taylors but thats what my friend told me.

However, Taylors have active clubs and all whereas Sunways Clubs are pretty much dead.

In my course, I dont have a single complaint regarding my lecturers as they are very dedicated and passionate in their job. I really do enjoy my learning in Sunway. For me,Sunway's study environment is really good. Besides, if you chose to continue in Sunway for your degree they are really generous in giving scholarship

My opinion might be biased towards Sunway though, since I'm a Sunway student.

if budget is not an issue, then go to taylors. If think about budget/financial, then go for sunway. No matter how good/bad a uni is, still need to depend on student themselves. If a student went to a very good uni, but keep skipping classes and fail also useless ><

thanks ! sunway must be good as their students are praising much !

well the difference is around 4-5k and budget is not an issue . i'm just wondering around about the quality of lectures , the environment etc etc . Taylor's surrounding has too much distraction IMHO , too much nice food and CC though hahaha

do you know how much does it cost for a business degree in sunway?

Hi, I would recommend Taylor's if you're keen on environment. Do note that Sunway University is under construction right in front of the college, so it gets noisy and dusty near the front entrance of the college.

Quality of education, hmm, both Taylor's and Sunway have very good track records. Not much differences there.

It's not worth it to spend over 38k only for a pre u course imho. Should save some money for your degree. Unless you're very rich then go ahead. But honestly even if I'm that rich I won't spend that much for only a pre u course

Pls c'mon, so what if Taylor's SAM has more students? Dude, Sunway has another 2000+ students from other courses combined, not just pre-u. That makes it a hell of a lot crowded. Taylor's only have CAL, SAM, and CPU, so it would feel less crowded overall.

Yup, that's right. Sunway now undergoing construction, hell of a noisy and dusty. Anyone come to me for advice, I would just tell him to choose Taylor's.

i was a sunway student... did mufy

for a levels i would recommend 3 places, taylors, sunway, help..

for aus year-13, i would recommend sam over ausmat..

as for mufy, dont bother... go for sam

yup i'm aware bout the construction .. but the taylor's , i felt its too congested with the shops though..

no choice bro . its the only route to path me to my degree .

how's the quality of lecturers ?

You're not considering other colleges? There are many more such as ucsi, mckl, kdu etc and their fees are cheaper. Or is it because taylors and sunway are located nearer to your home?

if we exclude the sound factor , would you still stick to your choice?

wow i didnt consider that before but yes haha . also they're carrying cambridge A levels and it seems that they're the top notch ones in town if i'm not mistaken .

Yea they are not that bad if compared to taylors and sunway. I'm studying in kdu and I can tell you that the lecturer are really good at what they are doing. But facility wise, it can't beat taylors of course

where are you going to pursue your degree?

definitely top... few years back help did poach a huge number of teachers from taylors... but taylors has since recovered... this has made help among the top for a levels among taylors n sunway

Still haven't decided yet haha.

Taylor's

why ?

If u are a top student welcome to Sunway Lancaster IF not Taylor is more suitable for u

Hi. I believe you have gone through the stage choosing colleges. I am pretty confirm to opt for A-levels next year. Need some professional advice. Come to choosing colleges, everyone chooses what they think is the best. So,

1. For those who studied in Taylor's, why did you choose Taylor's? What is it about Taylor's that drive you into that college?

2. For those who studied in Sunway, why did you choose Sunway? What is it about Sunway that drive you into that college?

3. What about INTI nilai? For those who chose Taylor's or Sunway, why didn't you choose INTI? Why didn't you choose INTI nilai and chose Taylor's/Sunway instead?

Thx

Hey.
As a current sunway a levels student, I would definitely recommend any post spm student to come to sunway.
The reason is, Sunway is superb! Have not regret a second since I'm here. ( btw, money is also not an issue to me because I'm under bursary and I have chosen Sunway )

First of all, the environment is superb albeit the construction. Come on, we study in air conditioned classroom so we never bother about that. And it is not that dusty as people thought to be after all. The library is world class (you may think that I'm exaggerating) . The staff is very helpful and approachable. The library is well stocked with all kind of reference books you may need although some popular books may take a longer booking time.

Secondly, I love my lecturers! There are a team of knowledgeable and experienced teachers in Sunway. Although my maths teacher has less than five years experience but she can solve all kinds of questions thrown at her. For other subjects, I get some super experienced teacher who can teach without making reference to notes or books and this is what impressed me the most!

So, come join us in Sunway College!

i'm super impressed by sunway's student , everyone seems to be beyond satisfied !!

bro i'm in the same boat as you . I went both Sunway and Taylor's Subang on Wednesday . The counselor in Sunway was great ! She introduced the A levels program clearly and left me with no doubts . She listened and answered to my questions with patient. (motherly talk as she's around 40+) .

The counselor in Taylor's , i didn't really enjoy her introduction as she was being too aggressive and tend to leave my mom and I to print out details about the course etc etc . It was such a turn off . In short she's kindda lack of experience I'd say.

Besides , the environment in Sunway is great as it is a part of Sunway's Township , whereas Taylor's Subang is very congested with commercial shops though . The only downside of Sunway is the construction going on .

Well , these are just the external factors as both colleges as I'm still seeking opinions / advice from other bro and sis too . What is the most important to me is the quality of lecturers and the content of library next . Hope it helps a lil .

The pricing is a difference of 5-6k .

Why Lancaster bro , are u one of them ? . Aiming for King's College / LSE .

TS, you judging that Sunway is good from 2 satisfied replies in this thread? Better you judge from your own view, don't listen so much to what u read, find out for urself. We are just here to give our opinion . Regarding the counselor thing, I guess that is first impression. The counselor in Sunway was probably more experienced, while the one you met in Taylor's was maybe in a bad mood? Just your luck to get that counselor I guess, but don't judge solely from what you think of the counselor ok? Do your own research as well.

You want a proper college with fantastic ECA events? Or do you want a university with a mix of different-different students from all over the place, and with ECA events for pre-u students not being very relevant? After all, pre-u is a stage where we should be active in social activities, and I feel Sunway doesn't really provide much activities which can be relevant for us. Fun activities yes, but beneficial? No. Taylor's trumps Sunway in terms of ECA's. I can get into more specific details regarding the differences, but it would be too long. PM me if you want.

So are the fees a difference of 5-6k? Are u sure? With or without any quantum?

im also torn between sunway and taylors for my diploma in business program..which would be better coz i feel taylors has much better facilities and eca plus student life while sunway is slightly cheaper and has a more reputable program..but i am leaning more towards sunway as their next intake is in jan while taylors is only in april...need ur opinion guys

No Life At All.. All you need is to study hard. the assignments really make you headache.. you have to search for many articles to get your ideas and how you critically judge the knowledge u obtained

thx for helping me so far. btw, what is ECA events??
Plus, a-levels in which ever school provide tons of assignments, are you sure we still have time to get distracted/involved in activities?? This are the few aspects I am worry about. FYI, I am taking physics, maths, further maths and economics. I hope to bump into good lecturers for the subjects I prioritize which are physics, maths and further maths. Aspect of Concerns:
1. where could i bump into those good lecturers for the 3 subjects?
2. the convenient (food, sport facilities)
3. the ratio of lecturers to students (Lecturers who gives their attention to students)
4. the environment (study & active environment)

Choosing from Taylor's, INTI nilai, Help, Methodist, Sunway

Hi, being a Sunway student, I do understand how clubs are dominated by degree students. I, for one, has never joined any clubs before.

However, this doesn't really affect my university application. In fact, I just had my cambridge interview and the interviewer was pleased that I wasn't being spoon-fed. He even asked how I got an attachment work. Since I am applying for medicine, I applied for some attachment work at government hospitals (Demonstration of interest). I wrote letters to directors of hospitals and fortunately, I was able to find some work. I have organised a charity run with only 3 classmates here in Sunway, where we contacted the Malaysian Medical Relief Society and did all the plannings ourselves, with no help at all from Sunway Volunteer Society. Besides, I have also volunteered at an orphanage, which I was hooked up by a fellow churchmate.

Besides, if you are interested in applying for overseas uni, I am pretty sure they would prefer you to have some work experience/internship at specific firms (be it engineering, accounting, economics...). YOU would have to go through the procedure of applying yourselves, the college wouldn't help you with that. Holding a president's position may be a good addition, but it isn't necessary. There are other ways to demonstrate your capability to be a leader, such as organising your own events.

Tbh Inti Nilai.

Cause in Inti Nilai, you can stay in the dorm, Just get the most luxurious room you. Attached bath and aircond.

Then you will have activities to do from morning to night since everyone is in the dorms and there is pretty much nothing to do outside the college.

You might think this is bad, but actually it is not. In Taylors and Sunway, alot of ppl live in their own house outside. So much time wasted just traveling and stuck in the jam.

Plus after school fun stuff and group project will be a big pain since everyone stay different location. There will also be alot of mummy daddy kids there.

are u one of them bro ?

wow I've no idea so many things are needed to do in applying for overseas uni . you opened my eyes bro ! tq

So far yeah.. 3 options.. Love Social Study.. I choose social and study but no love If u choose 3 u wont have enough time to sleep which will affect your 3 options hehe

Why sam instead of mufy ? does Monash Malaysia accept sam qualification ? What's the differences between sam ans mufy ? thanks.

i'll replace love with gaming ahahah xD

sam cost less and covers more... there're more ppl taking it therefore more widely acceptable and comparable... easier to get scholarship

but does Monash Malaysia accept students with sam into their degree courses ? what about Ausmat then, how if differs from Sam ? Thanks.

yes

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1063202/all

How doe the interviewer know whether u are being spoon-fed or not? Attachment work, that's very good, since u want to go into medicine. Organized a charity run, for who? Seems like a good idea, alright would try doing that one day too. And volunteered before. That's pretty good

But clubs would help too, can't deny that. But what u said is true, there are other ways to show u are socially active

Thanks, friend.

Lets see.. Guys, I need your help to judge/recommend/compare the following schools with reasons/examples based on the following aspects. As a reminder, the course i plan to take is A-levels.
Your help is very much appreciated!!
Schools :
1. Taylor's
2. INTI nilai
3. MCKL
4. Sunway
5. Help

Aspects :
1. Qualitative lecturers for physics, maths and further maths (not only good, indulged in teaching, helpful, considerate)
2. Lively and active events/activities after school (eg. co-curricular activities)
3. Ratio of lecturer : students
4. Security and Safety of school and nearby
5. Convenient (food, sports, convenient store, outside school's accommodation)

Basically, those are all my considerations. I know all of these are only based on opinions. There's no definite answer to this. But some of you might have heard something/read some article/got some information from your friend/regret going to the current college etc. Like I said earlier, YOUR HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
Thanks and Have a nice day!!

For now, I comment on security. Hard to judge the lecturers in all colleges, but I think in all colleges, you would get good and bad lecturers, so it's hard to say. Even if you go into a college with supposedly a lot of good lecturers, you can still get a class which has bad lecturers too. So it's hard to say. But in terms of security, choose Taylor's or MCKL. Sunway has no security at all, their guards just stand there and I'm not sure doing what. They do not check and see if the people entering are students of the institution. Even if you are not a student, you can just walk in, they won't even know.

what bout the security in INTI nilai and Help?? Got any news??
I know there are good lecturers and bad lecturers. I am just asking to increase my chances on getting the good lecturers for the subjects i prioritize which are physics, maths and further maths. So far, thx for your help. Have a nice day.

Do you love me?
