If you drink, drink less.

If you smoke, smoke less.

If you do neither, now's not the time to start.

Ignore everything above if you're

I'm not sure about your accommodation, but the best reason to stay in uni accommodation is the staff coming in to clean the kitchen (not your dishes) and the phat pipe universities usually have.

I believe it's much less messier to deal with too.

As a JPA student, aren't you able to do those 60/40 schemes?

Mobiles from Malaysia work fine in the UK and vice versa. If you've got enough space bring every bit of electronics you can from Malaysia starting from the most expensive as the 17.5% VAT on electronics here means that despite being of the same price pre-tax, every piece of electronics is bound to cost more.
Yeah there is a chance to fry it although I don't think it's too great. You can also use the manufacturer as a guideline. If one particular brand keeps failing when put in the checked-in cargo then it'll have a tendency to fail in the future.

Hard disks however, should always be carried by hand because you just never know how rough the luggage handlers are.
Yeah as azarimy said, open an account in the UK. You get a chequebook and a Solo debit card (very, very useful).

An advantage of HSBC is that you can withdraw cash in a Malaysian HSBC ATM with a comparatively lucrative exchange rate.
