1.looking for car park in vista komanwel b
how much is tat for first car park and second car park?

2. going to mail post express, wheres the nearest mail box from imu?

3. is there any mini market to buy dairy necessity in block c?what other facility there?

on one hand, that would seem like an excellent way of getting people to be independent and resourceful.....

on the other hand, people will complain why they are paying so much fees for so little..........

fyi, it's the standard way for many oecd unis, not the spoonfeeding msians are used to......

eg, contact hours (lectures and tutorials/practicals) per subject in oz unis is 3-5 hrs/week only, if you take the standard 4 subjects per sem, that's 12-20hr/week.........tutorials are important, you get marks for attending, and can be refused sitting for final exams if you do not attend the minimum of tutorials.........

lectures are not..........nobody cares whether you attend or not, many do not..........it can be so boring, people just sleep in lectures.........

the didactical way must stop........and dialectic way adopted.........(google if you don't understand what these terms means)......

.... you are doing medicine my dear.... How can there be discount on your fees? even if it's 1% they might be losing a few hundred pounds or dollars...

Some of the fees are really outdated. I remember some SRC's people came and ask my batch who wants the matching handbook for m108 and claimed that the fees are the newly updated ones, but.... looks like it's not.

hmm.. i was thinking, let's say a student transfers to his pms in the UK this year, 2010. by right he should pay the fees set for the year 2008 right? since that's the rate that the other 3rd year international students will be paying? unless the policy is such that the students have to pay the latest updated fees annually (this is the case in most med schools right?) ahh.. gotta ask the AAD about this..

Nope. When you enter in 2008, there is NO guarantee that you'll last through the 2.5 years, hence you're only regarded as potential student for PMS. And you dont know which PMS you'll be matched to...

PMS matching only happens in sem 5, only then the uni knows who are you. Thus, you are supposed to pay the current fees. 1 more thing, its common thing in developed country to increase the fees half way through, so becareful. UCSI did that as well.

hey! any seniors know what's the difference between tortora and marieb?? i find marieb quite long winded lar... and am intending to buy tortora but then the bookstore in imu has no more stock... anyone knows where can i get it?? biggrin.gif

hey i would like to ask, are spm results taken into consideration when the school matches us up with the respective partner medical schools after year 2? cuz i tried asking them, and they couldn't give me a straight answer so i thought of just asking it here.

I have an indoor car park in the vista komanwel B clubhouse, very convenient, right in front of IMU. Have PMed you.

#3 don't know about block C ... there's a mini market in vista komanwel B clubhouse ...

Btw, I have an apartment in Tower Block B available for rental from July/August. Currently occupied by 3 IMU students who have been there 4 years  

If anyone is interested pls PM me here or call me on 018-2069-883.

I'm just a layman, knowing nuts about the field of medicine and medical education. I just read a scary article - A doctor too many hot off the press yesterday.

Anyone read it yet? What's your opinion of the fears expressed by Dr Hsu?

that is exactly what is happening........

there are a couple of errors though.....the housemanship in uk is now 2 years (foundation year 1 and 2).....

and he did not pay enough attention to those trained overseas........particularly russia and ukraine, where at it's peak, took in 1000 students a year..........they number about 1500 a year currently returning from all countries (predominantly russia/ukraine/indonesia/india.....those who goes to the developed world mostly will NOT return, even those on scholarships).......and many of them poorly trained, and even worse than the local ones......

it is expected that by 2012 or soon after, all available posts in gov hospitals will be filled.......and even with expansion of establishment strength, an absolute surplus of doctors by 2015 or so........you taxi driver may be a doctor soon, like in some countries......
