Hey dude does the on campus provide pillow ? So many things to bring lol

No pillow.
No bedsheet.
No bolster.
No blanket.
Only the bed is provided. (And depending on your luck, you may get some special dirty bed!)

Yup, empty for one more week.
After that, it'll be so packed you'll wish for the former.

Reason why I don't think so is:
If they do, they'll have more people getting the same thing = less revenue.
Personally I feel that they provide scholarship for students entering 1st year from A-Levels or other qualifications is to attract new students = more revenue. And if you score below 60% average in any one academic year, you automatically lose the scholarship and cannot regain it again (that's stated in their website) = again, another chance for more revenue, recovering the initial reduction in revenue from giving out scholarships to new students.

But if they can put up something like that, they can get more revenue as well.
Imagine that they attract students to come and study at full cost, and at a possible way where they will remain at full cost as well.

Yup, that's true.

And when these new students, who intially obtained scholarship, fail to get the required marks for one of the year, not only does he lose the scholarship, he even loses the opportunity to re-gain it from hardwork. That only increases the university's revenuw.

But of course, they can argue that only the best and most deserving will get the scholarship, and it is only fair to other students that this is practiced.

And yes, I agree that giving out sponsorship = just giving a discount = marketing = getting more students = more income.

By the way, I heard from a friend that tried to apply for one of the scholarships given by a chinese newspaper (i don't remember which) for undergrad studies. He took great pains to get all the documents right, and upon submission, was told that since he's already a foundation student, it is very likely (almost sure) he won't get the scholarship.

The only reason that I can think of is:
It is a marketing gimmick, i.e. the university is the real provider of the scholarship (aka discount provider to attract more student), and pays the newspaper for advertisement fee. So obviously if you're already a foundation student, you'll most likely proceed to undergrad, and won't require a scholarship, therefore they want to earn your money, and at the same time attract more students, thus more $$$.

That's the fault of the marketing staff if the marketing staff ever told the person that such scholarship can be applied. It's the fault of the person himself/herself that he/she does not find out if foundation is qualified for the newspaper scholarships. If it's the former, it can become a sue case, because that person got cheated.

Nonetheless, if it's the newspaper scholarships, it's by the newspapers, as far as I am concerned.

Hmm, yea, that's a more reasonable explanation.

Guess he didn't read the fine print / didn't ask / or was led by marketing materials to believe so.

hahaa.. uni now super empty.. wait till next monday.. huhu.. im gonna soo hate it.. hahaa..

Just got an email from Patrick in owamail regarding enrolment.

It's different from registration right? (which is set on tomorrow & friday).

Do new students (ex-foundation) entering 1st year degree need to enrol too?

i suppose all the procedures are the same?? shud be fees paying den bla bla.. stuffs i guess.. den free to go..

Emm...so i need to attend the one on the 25th (registration), or the 28th (enrolment), or both? lol

You still need to do registration, hmm?
I guess you do it both together, on the same day, like the new student.

sorry...a question..how long would registration for new students takes to complete?d time stated is
From 9.30 am-4.30 pm..meaning tht i can come anytime in tht time interval?true?thanks...

That is right.

thanx a lot,mate...do u know how long does it take?

I think 15-30 minutes depending on how much have you done earlier.
If you have already sent in all certified copies, then it should be faster.

do we have to go to the new student registration tomorrow if we are returning student (ex-foundation student)?

ic..thanx mate..

anyone?? urgent!!
