you need to be careful when you use those website to call back malaysia. sometime they do have hidden charges that you don't know about it until you receive your bills.

there's few option, get a phone card from london chinatown or skype. Currently skype just include malaysia into the list for unlimited call in monthly plan. i think it's £8 per month for 10000min per month. if you don't have mobile phones, it's worth it.

Student apartment is room which rent to student and all bills are inclusive. You don't need to concern others bills like electricity, water, gas etc... But not all student apartment do provide internet access. Also not all student apartment is cheaper. If you are new student, like studying 1st year.. you are advice live in student hall/student apartment. When you are in 2nd year, you can start rent private room. As there's quite a lot issues you need to consider such as contract, room's condition etc....

It's depends on what do you plan to do. But spm, diploma cert aren't quite useful over here. But if i were you, i would bring along.

well, for clothing.. usually during winter we are wearing jumper or cashmere to keep our body warm.

cheapest flight back to malaysia will be book via online website....

not really, you can always get a letter from your university to confirm you have fully enrol. Then you can apply a basic bank acc. oh.. you need some money for deposite.. lol..

i think you only need show your or your parents/sponsor bank statement has the amount of the money, should be sufficient.. but if you are using your parents/sponsor bank statement, you better get a letter state that they are going to sponsor your tuition fees to be safe side.


yes, 3 in 1 milo and instand mee you can bring over here. but i would say buy instant mee over here, as nowadays instant mee in malaysia is quite expensive right? i think you can buy instand mee from those chinese shop in city centre.. it cost around 25-30p per pack. if you are going to big city like london, birmingham, newcastle, leeds etc, you have more option to buy instant mee. i not sure for others place..

well, like youngkies said, mostly are brands from korea, japan and also some are from taiwan, china and tailand. But i more prefer korea's instant noodle.. coz they are bigger pack and cheaper.. lol..


student life over here is alright. also depends on your uni and course. for example, if you are in engineering course, then you will more modules and credit hour will more compare with business student. but usually not everyday (mon-fri) will have class from 9-5. probably once or two days in a week. oh.. you will get quite a lot benefits like get 10% discount in some restuarant or shops. this is what i proud as a student.. you will get cheap stuff... lol..


well done, mushimuro.. a very details explainations.. lol.. i did the samething.. wrap all those food carefully when you are plan in import some food from malaysia. and you need to act normal if you pass by the custom, otherwise if you are not in luck caught by the officer, you will be in black-listed and you will fine.
