They start flying to Melbourne 10 days after they start the KL-Perth route. Maybe time to build that rail link from the airport to the city?

And yes, I am aware that KVReninem posted up there.

is the living cost s down a bit? bcuz AU dollars value going down from august.

So programming eh?

3)Define "good".
4)What qualifications do you currently have?
With a statement like that, think again: do you think you are suited to university life in the first place?

Honestly, a list of all Australian uni's can be found on Wikipedia. And a sub-list of Go8 and ATN universities also. How about doing more research, find out which uni offers what, do your homework, then ask us.

Endnote: I am not being critical. I'm just amazed that people put their decision on where to go on complete strangers on the internet that may or may not exist. As I said from the start (literary. Look at page 2), I am happy to help people who come in and ask specific questions. But people who come in and ask "what uni got IT in Australia" just show their incompetency, and let's be honest, if you can't even do research on the NAMES of universities in Australia offering a particular course, what makes you think you can do academic research?

ermm..my friends got ask me to open an acc in maybank so that my parents can transfer $$ for me without using TT..what is your opinion?

i think maybank has a branch in sydney......but i don't think they do retail banking........

if you want to do intra bank transfer, try hsbc.......

otherwise, the cheapest way to transfer money is by bank draft.....

i'm nt sure though.. if use bandraft it takes time to reach my hand ,right?
what if i need to use $$$ for emergency ?is there others altenative that i can go ??

Question here..
Which bank did you guys choose to open bank account?

Hi all..nvr step into this thread b4
i got a question wanna ask here...sorry if it's being asked b4. How long do i need to stay in aus if i wish to apply PR in aus?
thx!:)

in emergency, use tt, but be prepared to pay, at both ends......

bank draft will take 1 week to reach by registered post, and then 3 working days to clear......

but really, you should manage your finances such that 'emergencies' do not happen.......if you wait till your last dollar before asking your parent for money, that is bad management.......

i just check with bank customer support.

if a bank atm card with PLUS or cirrus sign/logo behind it , it is eligble to withdraw money from oversea atm, which also have the PLUS/Cirrus logo.

PLUS / Cirrus = Visa / Master, if we can withdrwa money with credit card in oversea atm, so do the bank atm card.

FYI, malaysian local bank like public, cimb ,alliance, doesn't support this kind of service except maybank. Alternatively, try UOB, HSCB/ Citibank , foreign bank had more branches overseas

hey. im new here.
do i have to take pre-uni in msia then only can go for my diploma studies in aus?

by doing diploma in AU what advantages can i get if i choose i will not do Bachelors degree? can i get the same job after completing diploma  that a graduate will get from bachelors degree in AU or NZ or Canada? if not whAats the difference?

im currently interested on software engineering or some other courses tht related on tht course
i duno much about uni at aus..i also worried tht i might choose wrong uni n not recognized at malaysia...

ya
i plan to back malaysia after finished my study at aus.
n any1 at RMIT also?

Just a random question.
Do you guys get sick often ?
Since the weather is like so diff from KL's 

Yeah the air there must be better.
But weather wise, it can get pretty cold eh ?
I went to Brisbane / Gold Coast few years back and it was chilly !

lol?
i plan to go back coz i got my own reason..is it a matter tht i stay thr or go back??

To haya: i still need money for food, accomodation, clothings, books, etc.. dont i need those as well?

costs of food, entertainment, clothes, and even books can be controlled, but what i found the most difficult cost to get rid of is accommodation, especially if you are studying in melbourne or sydney. For me, $95 per week for rental always exceed all other costs and it's like a solid rock that can't be broken.

$95/week rental? caspersky, how far away are you living from the city/university?

Okay, I suppose once you include cost of living, flying back etc, yes, we are looking at 500K.

And to lawl, not any more than Sydney or Melbourne. Or even Perth these days.

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.

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?

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 ... 

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

I got a B3 for 1119 and im still required to take IELTS.SPM1119's English standard is way too low to be used in uni.

Where did you get this info?

Non of the prospectus i had say they accept O-level english.

Strange,my A Levels was conducted in English too and they still ask me for IELTS.

Oh well,it's over now.
