Water bill cost around GBP40-60 for 3 months
Electricity bill depends if the house are using gas then it will be much cheaper.(Heating with gas is far much cheaper than using electricity)
dont forget about council tax as well. Mine cost GBP100 per month(since you are a student you will not need to pay this but will need a letter from your uni). Internet fee should cost around GBP20-30 depends what requirement you wanted.

If can i suggest that you rent a student apartment as it should be far much cheaper. Most of the student apartment are not far from the city center  smile.gif

what is student apartment? and what the different?

QUOTE
We would recommend that you travel
to Belfast directly or via another UK
airport (eg. London Heathrow) instead
of via the Republic of Ireland (eg.
Dublin). This is because if you arrive via
the Republic of Ireland, the procedure for
clarifying your immigration status in the
UK is more diffi cult. There are no border
controls between Northern Ireland (part of
the UK) and the Republic of Ireland, for your
passport to be checked. You would therefore
be required to submit your passport together
with an application form, accompanying
documents and a £295 fee to the UK Border
Agency in Croydon, England. This process
can take several weeks. If you enter Northern
Ireland via this route, please contact Queen’s
International as soon as possible after your
arrival.



so how i should go to belfast? the best and cheapest way?

Cheap international call: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/...OBILEWORLD.HOME

Is it good? Calls to Malaysia 5.9p per minute (landline) and 8.1p (mobile). I prefer not to use calling cards, and deal w/ contracts.
*
why not malaysia call to uk?
to uk landline using maxis IDD 132, just 20sen per minute... more more cheaper.

Yesterday I went to the British Council briefing.

All visa applications must be done online.
Download your application form from www.vfs-uk-my.com
The total application fee is RM664.
You have to complete the application form and make an appointment with the High Commision(if I'm not wrong, located on 19th floor, Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang.
You would need to prepare a white background, passport size photo.
You should allow 5 working days.
You will need unconditional letter of offer from the uni you are going to.
Hope I helped you. Cheers  smile.gif
*
that all only?
the fee is paid on the spot by cash? or?
and if fail, than the rm664 gone?
if fail, than reapply also need to paid that rm664 again?
