there are rape cases everywhere, but bcoz of the close ties between the johor based tabloid reporters with the police, then the "spicy" stories will almost always make it to the front page. but i dont suppose u're afraid to get raped, are u?

congrats 2 those who succeed in getting their desired course, including me lol!

jia, between NUS and UTM, i'd say it's basically at par. UTM and NUS have been rivals since i dunno... the 80s. but if u can afford it, go to NUS laaa. learn to be the ultimate kiasu there hehehe...

Haha! Same dilemma here. Having the opportunity to choose perhaps is not the greatest thing after all. We have to be responsible and bear the consequences of the choice we made. Ewww....

Added on June 19, 2007, 7:12 pmReally? You mean the standard is almost the same? Erm...what are the advantages studying in UTM rather than NUS?

the only disadvantage i know is that UTM doesnt have RIBA, NUS does.

NUS are often visited by professional architects all over the world, but usually when one does come for a visit, UTM will get an invitation as well, so we'd be sending students to attend the talk or review in NUS. so we didnt actually miss anything. we do get international architects visiting utm as well, where a few years back we got mario botta, another spanish architect and a japanese architect that i dont quite remember the name (bcoz i wasnt there at the time).

UTM also have an exchange programme, similar to NUS. UTM's exchange programme currently is with italian universities (french in the works), while NUS is with british, american and chinese universities.

facilities wise is more or less the same, although their architectural computing labs have more experts in them than UTM's. but UTM compensates by having civil engineering working in collaboration with architects for various projects.

and UTM's (or any other IPTAs) waaaay cheaper than NUS. but the built environment in singapore is far superior than johor. so it's a tough pick. but u can come to johor anytime, so i'd push for NUS. more msians we have there, the better. easier to work together.

how can u all get offer from NUS?
is it for part 2?

apply for NUS, if your results are gr8, then u'll be invited for interview. if u pass the interview with flying colours, then u're in!

Well, i was hoping for UM but with crappy results...USM works for me. Guess we will be meeting together then europology?

yes yes...pls go to NUS. if not u will face the wrath of xtracooljustin and his merry band of mishaps in UTM

Really? Gr8! Maybe we can arrange a meet! And we can discuss the things we need to prepare and bring! Cos I hv no idea what to do now...

LOL! Yes, I do support going to NUS. Exposure to international students is a lot higher than local ones. And those who get it ought to know, not everyone has this chance of a lifetime!

The offer letter can be accessed through www.jpt.utm.my liao.



That sounds really attractive. Gosh. Now I feel like going to UTM liao.

Fees for USM:


Yuran Pengajian Setahun: RM 8,809.00

Yuran dibayar Pelajar Setahun: RM 1,400.00

Yuran dibiayai Kerajaan Setahun: RM 7,409.00

Since the degree offered is the first 3 yrs, I dunno whether the same annual fees are applicable to the remaining 2 yrs or not.

i believe the fee for architecture courses of all IPTAs is the same. perhaps the only difference would be the cost of accommodation, which is usually included in the fees.

other than that, just get urself prepared mentally and physically. u'll be needing about RM300-RM500 for starting up which includes stationaries, toiletries and other stuffs. good luck to everyone .



i'm off for summer holidays in italy. see u guys in a week.

goda il vostro viaggio in Italia!
dont forget to bring back some pics yeah of italian architecture which is the tuscany right?
