Fees wise, you can say it's cheaper if compared to Monash, which is the other foreign uni to settle in West Malaysia.

And holding a degree from Nottingham is a highly regarded qualification in the workplace, perhaps a lil more of an edge than Monash, (unsure, someone answer to this pls). The courses are on par with standards set by the main UK campus, and all degrees conferred are identical to those of the main campus, therefore, rest assured you are receiving a genuine UK education from one of the best universities in the world.

And of course, the fees ARE really worth it. You get good facilities to support your learning experience here, e.g. a well equipped library as well as plenty of computer workstations with 24 hours internet access.

Besides, there's also good sports facilities, and a Student Association that provides help and support, as well as organizes activities all year long that enriches your life on campus. Clubs and Societies are quite active here, therefore you get a good chance to develop your leadership/management/special skills in an international setting (the student body comprises of 73 nationalities).

The living cost, I shall let the others answer, as I don't live on campus. I have a comment to add, the previous caterer was a big let down, charging astronomical prices for "inedible" food. But now, it has taken a big leap from being "lousy" to "GOOD". Prices now are reasonable, and food quality is of a certain acceptable standard, featuring a wide range of selection from chinese to indian to western (there's even ramlee burger and kebab for those who fancy it  ).

Do we really need to find someone to fill up the reference form to apply into UON?

It was stated there that they are unable to process the application without the reference.

eh i read that the admission to engineering school requires at least a BBB or ABC .. which equivalent to 12 points from A-Levels..
but in applying with appeal will it be linient abit?
lets say i get 10 points in worst case scenario
