Yes, driving to university of Nottingham everyday is kinda waste of time, especially that traffic jam in Jalan Semenyih. Not to mention, it only increases carbon footprint.

If you have chosen Nottingham, considered taking accommodation near to that university, either it is TTS house, Univillage, Tetris apartment or better still, on-campus accommodation. Of course, all these comes with accommodation fees which isn't included in tuition fees.

Actually for Nottingham, the entry requirement is not that stringent. There's a few students who are major in biology for A-level or STPM can still get in engineering courses. I believe that the university needs more money, so they just take in whoever apply (lol). Of course, the recommended grade would be BBB if you wanna apply Nottingham.
