5th post.. sit sit...

Wah, this is bad. Registration is on 16th, have to check in hostel on 16th too, I think. -_____-|| what an arrangement.

bad arrangement in the sense of wat? check in muz prior or later? register very fast onli la.. line up, check name, pay fees, snap yr big face then ok ady

Nolah, u can check in anytime after 16th. But if u check in from 1st-15th, they charge u full month rental instead of half a month

registration so fast... good good
can only check in hostel at 16th?? omg.. means have to overnite at hotel first lo.. cause i'll be going thr on the 14th.. i tot on the 15th already can check in

Well I would accept any suggestions to what information should be included in the first post to help everyone.

Contributions are welcomed. Thanks.

Oh, where are you from evilprincess89?

Farscope, serious, no orientation mer?

i'm from sarawak kinda envy u guys... can go home every weekends

wuwu i dont want to start course ... >.< coz it will be report all the way .. sigh T.T agony

Oh i see... Well, it's ok, just travel around KL lo...xD

ya, >.< you can go BU and shop kao kao XD

1st day orientation = listen to talks/seminar bout the IT system, uni stuff, academic progress etc..

then the next few days i.e. tues ~ fri will hav activities held by SA team (SA = student association)

depends on wat event they held.. some u need to pay a little fees to participate..

last year i onli went the the welcome nite or wateva they called it, forget.. others i din go..

BTW I skipped induction for as long as I can remember. Not that I purposely did that, but I have no choice, for 3 times in a row yes.

i wanna ask if i don hav reference letter can i apply for it?? because my previous college is very far from my location.. couldn't get reference from my previous lecturer..

Induction week can help you understand how the university's system works, and also to get to know some of your course mates, wouldn't that be nice?

Pikachu, you can try first..

how's uni accommodation right now? still very expensive? around 300 for single room? actually if you all have own transport, can consider to rent a room at sunway semenyih, the rental is around 500-600 per house. a lot cheaper.but nid to travel to uni. Or can choose to rent a house at semenyih town, around same price v sunway semenyih

reference letter? as far as i remember the person in charge didnt even bother to open my reference letter before they give me my conditional offer. What a waste of time getting it. anyway you should give them a call to see if the reference letter is needed....

@pikachu

registering now should be quite late.. but no harm giving it a try.. =)

does anyone knw how to get to ktm kajang from the uni??

thanks for the replies.. i will give a try..

take uni's bus.. it's free.. i think they will be willing to giv u a ride even thou u r not a student yet.. i saw them giving rides to student's parents when they come for registration..

i see..is there any fix time for the bus departure from uni? thx for the info btw...

yup.. there is.. do u noe where the bus usually park? they will wait at the SA building i.e. yellow building.. at the zebra crossing from the hostel.. u will see a timetable/schedule(latest) of the bus..

thx a lot for the info

Haha I can go home everyday

hihi....any 1 here having advertisement for the room in tts??

check version 1 last 2 pages.. i posted some ads from the uni's email..

Is the registration and the orientation on the same day??

No idea. But if you reread the email sent to you, it is said that there will be a schedule posted up on the website for the newcomers. So we wait till then..xD
What course are you in btw?

@farscope, lazy.

gov loan NO.. private loan, e.g. bank.. MAYBE

i wan to ask how much can we get from gov PTPTN loan??

gov PTPTN loan depends on wat course, which sector (gov or private U), and yr parents total income.. more info u can refer another thread bout PTPTN..

range of salary:
<3k
3k~5k
>5k

each salary range got different amount

I realize they never mention anything about internet on the Edu Square accommodation.... And there are no phone lines in the rooms other than the halls. Wonder if they are going to provide us some lousy wi-fi or we have to get our own broadband...swt!

No internet wan lah....we prolly need to get our own

Maybe Maxis Broadband since TTS is under Maxis.

Wah..............................................................
Another extra expenses!

waa...

i want to have more holidays...

Dont u think the holiday has been going on for way too long?? I look forward to finally starting University

yeap.. holiday too long.. i wanna start study! cant wait to learn new stuff..

I'm thinking to further my studies in this university next year. Might take engineering foundation course. but I still can't make my mind whether to take E&E or Electronics & Computer Engineering, even the choices of BEng or MEng...

anyone care to enlighten me?

I am excited and worried at the same time...
xD

hmmmm why worried??

I am considerably a very new student there?
I don't have friends around so the first week I will probably be very lonely too! HAHa!

Ah I'll be going thru the exact same thing too. Us newbies, lolz

hehe..but at least u can go home everyday...!

Oh yea forgot about that part, hmmm but u get to learn to be independent.

lol, i know! Haha.. Anyway, which course will you be in? I am sorry if I've missed it if you have already mentioned.

I've signed up for civil engineering. You're doing something in the buisness school right?

yeap! I will be in Finance, accouting + management...xD
Tee hee hee...

Civil engineering, that's cool!
It's a hard subject. But I am sure you can manage it since you've decided to do it. =)

This thread seems to have turned into our chat room, haha

LOL! No choice. I am dead bored..-____-||

Haha what an interesting place to go to when u are bored

WOah, you're late.
No it's just so happened I pass by this thread and found someone's active here!

evanesence....
u doin civil engineering??me too....
which year u in?1st?

Just like wat i ask in v1 .....anyone know about this ?

Perhaps you will read this: http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Faculties/Soc.../Admission.aspx

Tuition fee... for Malaysian students, RM35,000.

Yup 1st year, u??

Thanks a lot....damn the GPA requires 3.2 mine now only 3.01 must pump it up this semester for the last chance

The tuition fees is 35k I thought it is 31k?

read carefully.. cofin is asking bout >> MSc International Business Management

not engineering..

anyone receive mail regarding the orientation? mine is on the 18th and 19th
hope to meet some new friends there

18th and 19th? Are these dates for registration or orientation?
I haven't received if it's an orientation's timetable..xD

it's the orientation for pharm student.. induction will be on 18th too
whereas the registration is on the 16th for me... so i assume we can register at any time from 9.30 to 4.30 pm rite?

I'd never been to the registration fair before. I don't even know if it's necessary or not.

im in 2nd year....skip the 1styear...
haha

I see i see. So maybe you dont have to stay from 9.30 to 4.30. Maybe some other courses have the same orientation day as registration day...-___-||
That'd be bad. Registration+orientation+shifting in hostel. =P

Anyway, don't mind about experi3nc3, he always doesn't participate in these activities one..

How come u skipped the 1st year?

Took Diploma i suppose..

How come I never received any mail regarding the date of the orientation???

Yeah so far I didn't received anything regarding the orientation date. Ah well maybe I can just care less about it

Eh you need orientation? You're already proceeding into year 2 edi..

I haven't received either..

Over 2 years here I never received anything as such. I wonder why.

They don't love you. Sob.

i think they go according to the faculties.

eyh..no news on owa1?

got orientation eh?? haha..

Hey guys, I am looking to come to Nottingham university Malaysia campus as one of the universities I have in mind. Although I am satisfied with nearly everything I heard about it, I have 2 concerns. The first is that I heard that you cannot get your own connection in ordered to go on the internet freely and download torrents, and watch live streams of stuff even if they are legal? Is there any way to get my own connection? The other question is the quality of the food, is it good or bleh?

Thanks again

Where are you planning to stay ? off campus or in campus ?

If its off campus, you are free to do anything with the internet and it is much cheaper compared to the connection in campus. Also, you can opt for Maxis broadband or Streamyx depending where are you staying.

Of course there are these restrictions if you uses in-campus internet. This is normal. Btw torrents is not legal lol as you download stuffs such as movies which are some havent be released in the cinema here..

For the quality of the food, lol ... if you ask 10 persons .. Im sure you get the same answer. It SUX BIG TIME Brother!

I think orientation is sort of like a must eh?

lol.. as jasperng said.. staying in in-campus hostel.. internet is restricted of cz.. the bandwidth muz be equally shared wat.. live stream such as youtube stil ok.. food expensive and sux


nope.. it is not compulsory thou..

registration lar lol

there is no such thing as orientation.

once u pay up, then u can go home haha.

So I am looking to stay off campus but like near to the uni, what places do you recommend? Btw I am going there 09 . I guess I will be some nice addition there since im from the middle east. A smal island country called Bahrain

off campus u can choose to stay at TTS (Taman Tasik Semenyih).. oh, never heard of yr country.. anything interesting to share?
