i'm keen to know too!

is the obligation of getting accommodation lies on the school or the student itself?

> to be frank i have been to kl only trice in my life time, but 9 times to singapore in 3 years. both kl and sg are highly urbanised if compare to tawau, sabah... so i wasn't worry when i heard of notingham is actually located in kl, assuming that facilities are superb cause university in singapore has mcdonald, subway, coffee beans, 4 canteens, convenient store, popular bookstore... you name it, they have it...

but what i get to known is that not even a single fast food restaurant on campus, and few km away from tesco, i was like stunned all in the sudden...

what even worst is when i google earth the location of notingham campus, (coordinate is given here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of...alaysia_Campus) it apears to be in the middle of oil palm plantation... cry! do you know how many sleepless i have?!

> no walking distance mrt station nearby right? haix... cry... cannot afford high tuition fee abroad baru go kl, mana tahu, saya telah pergi suatu tempat yang ulu-ulu yang perlu bazir $$ beli kereta...

basically, i haven't been there before, all the information are gathered thru forum-ing, and google earth-ing...

i think my worry is normal, and seems that i'm not the only one who felt that

opt for other uni? such as?

so would you like to describe the environment in nott? share some benefits you have in nott that might not enjoyed by other uni student?

---------------

i'm interested in ptptn either.....

both! i think knowledge and socialising skill is equally important...

what do you mean by edu square? it sounds like it is one of the accommodation options we have on campus apart from the 5 "island" halls, i'm interested in any on campus accommodation cause i don't have car or motorbike that allow me to stay far away from campus...

everthing within 250m radius distance from the center of eng. faculty(or at most 10 minutes walking distance), i'm very interested...

if possible, guide me on how to get an accommodation ( seeking for another way as i have done my part in dealling with the school)

"cry" is for exaggerating purpose

erm.. study and pampered life do not against one another, you need not opt for either one, in contrary, you can have both at the same time, depends solely in you

your mind set is telling ppl that serious study shouldn't be a relaxing, it's totally absurd!

well, i'm going for civil eng. how about you?

joining nott in sep?

i'm keen to know the requirement for doing pharmacy... PM if you think it's too private :>

btw, you did stpm/uec/alvl?

is it necessary to bring printer and scanner?

hmm... how come i have not received the offer letter? so worrying ler... not a single email has been sent out to confirm me or what.. we just talked thru phone...

it has been a week since i submitted the accommodation form, but how come no reply from them?

on campus..

http://www.bem.org.my/v3/listofaccreditedprogrammes.html

above is the the link of accreditated engineering programmes by board of engineers of malaysia... surprisingly nottingham civil engineering is not in the list? -.- is it true? i thought civil eng. is one of the courses that nott. famous of??

quote from Registration Information September 2009," Bankdraft or cheque as payment of tuition fees"

They don't accept cash ?

i made my application for on campus accommodation on the 25th aug, but to this date, i have yet to receive any reply from the school.. am i rejected without getting informed by the school? anyway, poor efficiency they have.. it has taken them more than 10 working days to give me an answer... show no avail even email and giving them hundred times of call... haix pening la...

called this (03) 8924 8079 from 2pm -5pm... nobody pick up, email them and i was informed that they are still processing....

next day call again, after a long waiting, finally an indian lady picked up the phone... after acknowledging my name and identity, i am directed to call (03)8924 8087...

called (03)8924 8087 from 11am to 12pm... 4 pm to 5pm... only pick up my phone once, after saying hello, the guy hang my phone... i keep launching telephone missile after that, but hit no target ...

i really don't know what to do, everything just cock up because of ambiguity of the status of my accommodation application... i'm having difficulty in buying ticket without knowing when i can move in, what facilities they have so that i can decide whether to buy things like modem, thermoflask and this and that...

if you need a bicycle, i can sell mine to you...
let me know earlier cause i have to dismantle it and do the packing before i bring it from Sabah all the way to nottingham...

my bicycle is in tip top condition, the brand is "Trek", aluminium bodied.. on top of that, it comes with lifetime warranty...i will sell it away if someone could offer me 1.8k and above... i bought it at 2k...
