I have a few friends in Nilai, and apparently they say the lecturers there deliver their best, and the lifestyle there is pretty much slow, so you would not be distracted easily.

Nilai College doesn't offer A-Levels. They have their own foundation into 3+0 at LaTrobe University in Australia or Oxford Brookes University in the UK. Besides that they also offer the Australian foundation in collaboration with LaTrobe University. And yes, I agree they have a nice campus, spacious and a lot of greenery, together with on-campus hostel facilities. These add up well for students who are serious with their studies. smile.gif

AFAIK, only HELP and UCSI offer the modular A-levels (the London Edexcel GCE A-levels). All other colleges are offering the Cambridge A-Levels. I suggest TS read up on these two programmes before making a decision.

And if money is not a problem, you can choose between Taylors (Cambridge A-levels) and HELP (Edexcel A-levels). The less expensive A-levels programmes would be at INTI or TARC.

Yes, you may have scored straight 1As for your SPM and be entitled to full scholarship from the various colleges. But dont forget, these scholarships are only for tuition fees waiver. And if you are talking about A-levels, it also depends on how many subjects you are intending to pursue. The tuition fees do not include fees for application, registration, laboratory, library, development, examination, and etc. And these fees could work out to be more that RM10k for colleges like Taylors and HELP.

I think you can google for clarification about and differences between the Cambridge and Edexcel A-levels. Or you can go to UCSI website for a simplier and overview of the Edexcel A-levels ---> UCSI Edexcel A-levels

And I have checked. Doing A-levels at Taylors for 4 subjects (inclusive of ALL fees) amounts to approximately RM30k, of which only RM13k is given as merit award for 11A1s students. So, go figure! biggrin.gif

30k if u plan to overspend.. its already overestimating the cost of living etc, the best is around 25k

No, approximately RM30k was what the personnel at Taylors worked out for me. This is the amount to be paid to them and it does not include food and living expenses.

HELP would cost around RM25k and UCSI around RM23k. All this is excluding food and accommodation.
