no offense but I don't think MCKL is a good place. I have friends studying there and they all don't seem too happy.

One friend even quit and then, ended up in my college.

I heard the lecturers don't really bother with you and the facilities are only ok-ok.

So yea.

Really? This place is one of my considerations, but I do hear that this place isn't so good.But it's affordable, and they got nice activities for new intakes.. Which college are u from?

Affordable? How much is A-levels in MCKL? My friend has the STAR scholarship but she still has to fork out at least 10k. That's the cost of my A-levels in TARC.

In TARC, it's only 10k+ for Arts while it's 15k+ for Science.

And then, there is more facilities in TARC. So yea.

So u are from TARC? How is it like at there? MCKL is a bit more expensive than TARC, but they also offer tuition waivers for those who get 9-10A's in SPM,around 50-100%, like in TARC, except in MCKL, A- is not considered for the waivers. Ur friend got the STAR scholarship for A-Levels in MCKL? And she still has to pay that much? That I don't know why, but in ur case, if u paid RM10k for A-Levels in TARC, I assume u didn't apply for any waiver?

TARC exam fees is only rm2k if you don't retake but if you retake it'll be rm3k.

So yea.

Hmm..I see bcuz what I know from MCKL are from friends who study there and I do not hear good things from them.

But yea, TARC facilities are better as TARC is huge and the library, it's a whole building with plenty of computers and discussion rooms.

Most of your posts have been praising TARC tongue.gif As though you are promoting them/acting as their ambassador laugh.gif But that's good. You got the spirit biggrin.gif So how are the students at TARC? I'm looking at TARC as one of my options too, but I heard that there's a lot of people who are Chinese-speaking there, and I mainly speak English. So I'm kind of doubtful if the environment would suit me there.

Tarc do screening of applicants and high performers are grouped together to strive for excellence. Typical Chinese school concept. But, if you are good, it's really worth it. Fees is not cheap as for every ringgit you pay, the gomen subsidize you for another ringgit.

If high performers are grouped together,then that's great. There would the peer pressure to do well. But I'm also taking into consideration the environment of the college. Heard that almost 90% in TARC are chinese speakers. Wouldn't really like that,even though I can speak Chinese too. I prefer a more English speaking environment,since it's a college, not a Chinese-medium school I want to go to...

And I thought the fees are the cheapest in TARC? Around RM8k or maybe even less after waiver if I'm not mistaken. Yes is not cheap,as RM8000 is still a large amount, but it's much cheaper compared to Taylor's and Sunway.

hey guys. I had narrowed my option into either TARC or Methodist college and am going to take march intake smile.gif
But it all depends on my results. If i manage to score 8a+/A above,i'll be going Methodist college. If no,i'll be going TARC coz it's cheapest among all.
I really hope i can go Methodist college as i'm a chinese speaker.Going to a college like Methodist will force me to speak english more fluently smile.gif

Exactly. I would go for MCKL too if I were you. But u sure u would choose March intake?

haha. Well, the reason why I seem to be promoting them is because, surprisingly, they are a pretty damn good college.

I'm a banana. I don't even speak chinese. So, can you imagine my horror when my father first enrolled me into TARC.

At first, honestly, I hated it. I hated that I wasn't where I want to be. I hated that I'm surrounded by people who don't even speak the same language as me.

But thankfully, I went to counselling to adjust to college life.

There, the counsellor was very kind and helpful. She told me to give TARC a chance.

And so, I did.

Surprisingly, I met so many amazing people and had so much fun.

I guess, it depends on you.

You have to open your heart and see where that gets you.

But as for college, the facilities and lecturers there are also great. But sometimes, because there is so many students in TARC, it may get a little crowded.

So yea. As for me, I feel that A-level is the same everywhere. So, it's better to go to a affordable & good place.

A-level mostly depend on yourself. Your willingness to work hard. Because A-level is a tough course. But if you are determined and hardworking, you'll be fine~!
Haha wow I didn't thought u were a banana. I thought u were Chinese-speaking too, that's why u enjoyed TARC so much laugh.gif I can certainly imagine how u felt when u found out u enrolled in TARC when that wasn't your choice. What was ur original choice? So u even had to resort to counseling?? That's tough..so you met a lot of friends there,surely. So did u all speak Chinese among each other or English? biggrin.gif True, I think it's better to save money for degree also
