Lol that couldn't be helped i guess. What is Maccas? I haven't heard that before. 3 of my housemates actually work in a poultry farm and yeah the pay is good but also a dirty and tiring job . Well i guess driving taxi is currently not within my options, but sure it is interesting to try. I'm now still in the process of doing my assignments which i have to pass up on 12 September so i'll stick with the restaurant for now, but as soon as i'm done with my tasks, i will surely say bye bye to the restaurant and find some other place else.


If i were you i prefer staying in the apartment. Not only you can force yourself to learn cooking, and also you get better experience and privacy. Meals are provided means the price is fixed, and also you will lose much freedom.

for a start-up, when you first arrived, residential college accommodation is much easier, less stress, less hassle........but more expensive......so consider that for one or two sems.........

then, most people will get more familiar with the places, new friends, etc, and move out to a flat/apt/shared housing, and do cooking themselves.....save some money........

trying to cope with a new place, finding digs, food, furniture, transportation, etc can be hell when you first arrived at a strange place.........

Any1 is taking economics degree at UQ? I want to ask whether are they gd.

well yeh.. limeuu is pretty true, however I think that if I stay oncampus, I could participate actively in extra mural activities since I'll already stay inside the campus area, rather den constantly wasting money on transportation going to and forth uni and apartment..

if you take dipl you're pretty much fixed to a certain course (unless you've already decided). Foundation is rather easy to get into uni here, depending on what course your talking bout.

Do note that the colleges around UNSW are damn hard to get.

Probably you will have to stay in self catered apartments.

I don't know about diploma, but for foundation, I reckon it'd be easier to get into the same university for undergraduate after you finish your foundation. However having that said, choosing a foundation more or less restricts you in the choice of university you can choose later on as not all universities will accept the same foundation certificate.

@Cheesenium:
If you are talking about the uni self-catered apartments, they aren't easy to get either. Since they are on a first come first serve basis, you gotta apply really early to stand a better chance in getting them, and I think this would definitely put a new student at a disadvantage compared to the current students.

I mean those houses/rooms that you rent outside.Not the Unilodge.

I registered for it 5 months before i come to Sydney this year and i still didnt get it.

But as I know if you don't take pre-uni in Malaysia then you have to take up Year 12 there?

they recognise STPM Alvl and SAM. Which type of Pre-U are you referring to? You'll have to check with them if you're taking pre-u in msia as they might not recognise it. Year 12, foundation and dipl will be the pathways to uni if you want to come after SPM.

yes; the option is just back like in Msia; foundation or diploma or Y12. I choose to take diploma bcos my field is long time study; never end.
it depends on individual.

Okay. Which means now right after I have finished SPM then I can straight away go to Aus and take up the diploma course like accounting. I do not have to take up SAM in Malaysia before going there?

Yes.

can take up diploma just after form 5?

they made me take up year 12, and i failed,

ended up taking a cert IV, and lucky jumped to diploma ...

it depends; I came in n took my diploma no Y12..

i see, maybe it's because i showed them the spm forecast results, and it's terrible?

mine is more terrible
