100k cannot ah for mechanical engineering i think.
im in melbourne uni. $13924 per semester x2 for 2008 nxt year probably 10% increase in tuition fees again. ridiculous really.
so basically tuition fees already Rm83000+ for tuition fees already + living costs.unless u can survive 12 months with RM17k - Rm1500 a month, i think 100k not reasonable.
if your doing mechanical engineering with 24 hrs a week for lectures and tutorials,
i doubt that u are able to do that much part time working without affecting your studies.
You can probably save more money if you find a uni in the suburbs. i guess. less distractions and cheaper accomodation .etc

im curious, why is melbourne one of the more famous australian universities??

and also, out of the group of 8 universities, which ones would you recommend to do mechanical engineering?

went to idp on friday, so many people waiting to talk there, had to leave cos no time, so hoping can get some advice from you guys in the meantime

I'm flying off liao this wednesday..for college..so sad   
wish me luck guys   

may i know what do you mean by double degree?

Hehe Im studying in Box Hill Tafe.. doing commercial cookery.

yea i'm on the $49 too.. X-series Bronze.. Find it very useful. unlimited msn,yahoo usage.. theres 200 mins free calls on Skype and approx. 200 mins free 3 to 3 calls

I have a Vodafone prepaid aswell. if you dont use much then i think u should get prepaid.. like if you buy a $29 reload, you'll get $130 worth of credit. hehe but if you want a new phone and you're gonna stay here for at least two years then go for the plan

Oh yeah remmeber to bring your Confirmation Of Enrolment slip so they'll waive some fees or some sort like that.

Yeah the plcae i'm moving to is just off whitehorse rd.. very convenient heh
