Hi, i'm having trouble choosing colleges to pursue for A-level......I have KYUEM, taylor's and sunway in mind but i don't really know which is good....can anyone plese recommend me? another question is, are there alot of malay students studying in KYUEM? i heard my friends telling me that KYUEM accepts only Malay students and KYUEM has majority of malay students? is it true? please.....I need an Answer!!

The place which is "good" to do A levels is one which you enjoy.

Seriously, in Malaysia, it's not which school is "famous" or "reputable".

You might think a school is great (and you will have a better chance to succeed, in A levels and/or afterward) because of its "rep", but this is never the case.

Go to the school that you can afford, has the environment you would like, and is convenient for you to attend.

If you hear about good teachers, there's no way of knowing how good the teachers you'll be getting are.

Similarly, there are students with extremely bad results in just about every school, no matter how high their claimed passing rates are (remember an E is a pass at A level).

KYUEM doesn't accept only Malay students though majority of students there are JPA,MARA etc. scholars and since majority of those are malays the huge majority there are malays.

HEY why dont u try KDU college at Damansara. I was there for my A levels and i can tell u the lecturers are very good.

For 1 we have the infamous Mr George who teaches chemistry xD

seriously colleges like taylors and sunway just wanna reel u in and a fool and his money are soon parted.

Are you suggesting people who paid to attend Taylor's or Sunway are foolish?

no im saying that it may look glamorous and all but doesn necessary mean that it is good...

Then that is an apt metaphor, to an extent.

I don't think the Subang campus is glamorous. And unless Sunway was recently renovated it is nothing of the sort.

Obviously, alot of people does not know the capabilities of KTJ. They send their students to top london unis.

Well, I can only think of two or three top London unis. All sorts of students from all kinds of schools go there, so "sending" some students there is not much of an achievement on the school's part.

umm.....excuse me....but.....what is KTJ?

I get the offer from kyuem...i also thinking of kyuem or taylor...
eve93, did u get ur offer letter already?

i'd say A level in TAR college is good

no hui1189, i didn't get any offer letter from kyuem.......but i thought of applying it.....my forecast result isn't tht good....i only got 5 A's.....guess you got straight A's that's why ther sent you an offer letter........i heard tht kyuem has lots of malay students....i dont really know it's true or not but now i applied for sunway's a level already......how bout u?

^ What's wrong if there alot of malay students? TARC has alot of chinese students too. They still get killed in snatch thieves incident in Setapak.

they have a majority of malay students because a majority of their students are sponsored students and majority of those are malays.

is the a lvl science in kdu good? coz i heard alot bad news abt it...wanna hear it frm a kdu student themselves....mind to share ur experience?

does UTAR have a level program? cant seem to find info on their site...
