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.

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.

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.

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~!

Added on January 3, 2013, 9:38 amI will still recommend TARC despite the chinese speaking environment because I am a banana and yet, I love that place. So go figure.

Wherever you go, it all depends on yourself. In TARC, you can always choose to speak english to practice english or join societies in the TARC, to practice your english.

For me, I feel that A-levels is all the same. So, it's better to go to a more affordable place that is good and TARC happens to be that.

Haha. Yea, I'm a banana. So, I really hated it when my father put me in TARC.

My first choice was methodist because all my friends were going there.

Yea, I went to counseling but that because I wanted to. I wanted to see if the counselors sucked like the one in my secondary school but I was wrong. They were good.

I speak English with my friends. (I'm a banana....LOL) But I did learn some chinese.

Yes, I think it's better to save money for your degree as for A-levels, they are the same everywhere.

A-levels is recognized and Cambridge A-levels in TARC is same as Cambridge A-levels in Taylor. There is no specialties. It's just A-levels.

So yea.
