is 20 kg enough for a student luggages? i am planning to take Mas, because of direct flight, but i heard Bristish airway offers 30 kg for student luggages. But anyway, i prefer Mas, cause i heard that the seat in Bristish airway is not that as comfortable as Mas. For sure we should get the one has comfortable seat one since this is a long journey flight...11 hours...cool..my ass gonna burn. I am leaving probably on 26/9 or 27/9..how's about your guy?

i lost my final acceptance letter, is the final acceptance letter importance? i heard that we need to show it to the unvirsity when we arrive in the uni there to clarify we have paid..is that true? the payment receipt is still with me...is it okay? the final acceptance letter was lost during the period processing my visa. i noticed it was lost when i got my passport with visa back, and i asked my agent what had happen ( because the visa i went thru agent) then they told me it was lost in the british embassy and it is okay without it..but i still have a bit worry..

i still keep my receipt of payment and offer letters, there are three letters, one is unconditional letter and one is conditional letter and the others one is final acceptance letter, the british embassy only lost my final acceptance letter, so is it okay with the remaining letters? i advise everyone here, next times, visa things better take care by yourself, as u go thru other people, they just don't care as long as they get your visa for you.

i just came back from uni pre-depature briefing, the uni people says no need bring maggie mee, as there are a lot of asian stores there...but the maggie mee there is not cheap, after convert the price into ringgit, at least RM1.50 per pack...and should we apply 'International student card' and 'Nx2d'(i can't remember the name, just roughly like this) Card? as the travel agent called MSL said these cards are useful cause got discount everywhere? Actually all these benefits we can actually have it by our uni student card as well, isn't it? thumbup.gif thumbup.gif one more month leave..........

I heard that the british immigration officers will ask question when we pass thru the immigration counter..So what questions usually they would ask and how should i answer them so that i could easily get thru them? And i am coming to uk to study my final year....suppose i should bought two way air flight ticket but i only bought one way..because the expiry date of the two way air flight ticket is ended before the visa end. I am worrying about the immigration officer would ask me 'why there is only one way air flight ticket?' So anyway..Pls tell me how to answer these kind of questions...

There's a misunderstanding, when i mentioned if a person applies for a UK university as a Euro Union student, i meant a person who has a European passport, for example an Austrian passport or German passport.

Meaning, a malaysian student who has did his/her first yr in m'sia wishing to further studies in UK, applying as a Euro Union student with a European passport.

I have a friend who has two passports, and he told me about Euro Union student paying a cheaper fee, so i just wanted to confirm this. And also the possibility of him getting into a UK university from Malaysia as a Euro Union student with a Malaysian education background.

What is the meaning of Applying as euro union student with a european passport??
Then u become immigrant?
