I think it would be better for you if you called the landlords directly and not go through third parties.

Also, I would encourage you to go and look at the room for yourself, and see how far the walking distance is from uni.

You wouldn't want to be having a long, long walk alone in the dark back from uni, trust me. Especially in notorious Sunway.

yea...snatch thefts who murder in cold blood are everywhere..

but u have to be prepared to pay a hefty sum for those rooms which are really close to the uni...

Anyway, exam timetables are out.

Mine's on the 15th and 16t, both 2.30pm at the Caulfield Racecourse.

Howz ya'lls?

can u tell me how much u spend one month there?

i know it depends

but can juv tell me roughly?

rental and meals

thanks

I spend about RM800-RM1k a month, inclusive of everything from paying for my toilet entries to shopping =)

Some months, you spend only 600 due to assignment periods, others, prolly 1200 especially after exams. So I would say, I spent 800-1k per month, on average.

Not sure of the prices now. That was in 2007/2008

i can definitely give the typical and minimum amount required by myself (on a monthly basis) and i'm staying off-campus.

1. AUD110 for my mobile phone tariff and iPhone 3GS repayments (AUD50 and AUD60 respectively)
2. AUD27.50 for my broadband and phone rental.
3. AUD120 for my dinner (we cater from a malaysian couple and it is delivered to our place on a daily basis)
4. AUD50 for my electricity (on average) and water is inclusive
5. AUD20 for transportation via metlink (on average)

well
very good advice
thanks grimm and nokia

not that i'm proclaiming that i'm spend-thrift, but Grimm's a grand of expenditure per month isn't astronomically at all.

look at mine; even at bare minimum and necessity (not including leisure, groceries, eating and the out of the ordinary), i have accumulated a total of AUD327.50 (approximately MYR982.50)

ermm...i think she's asking about the sunway campus monash..why r u guys giving her aussie currency?

Mine starts on 10th and end on 18th. Very unhappy as I can't even get a full swot vac to study and they cram 3 papers into 1 week. I'd rather have a short winter break than to cram like this.

You only have 2 exams?

I have papers on the 15th, 22nd, 23rd and 29th. not too bad, actually. all 2.30pm @ caulfield racecourse

oi nokia, she's talking about sunway campus punya laaa!

1k isn't really a lot. I mean, thats what my parents give me. Really depends how much you spend on what.

Some people shop every week. Some people treat themselves to delicacies and fine dining frequently. Some people read a lot, and spend a lot on books. Some people go to the movies like 3-4 times a week. Some people spend a lot on pool and foosball. Some people club a lot. Some people drink a lot. And then there are some like me, who game a lot (Asia Cafe robbed me off I think 4 figures already =X

Sooo... it really depends on your lifestyle.

Basic expenditure in Sunway area

RM450-800 for accomodation depending on type and location
RM200-300 for good food (please don't starve yourselves, go get some good food... KL air is already a killer, don't kill your body anymore by eating sucky and unhealthily cheap food all the time.
RM100 for entertainment? drinking, movies, whatever...
RM50 for misc spending, books, clubs and societies, parties, birthday presents, etc.

I don't think RM800-1k is a lot... this is Sunway/Subang area we're talking about, not like other colleges punya area where you can get like RM150 for a single room =.= no such rates here, unfortunately =/

I drool at the AUD120 for daily meals for an entire month. WTF?

AUD120 for 30 meals ah? Summore CATERED? I think thats a damn good deal. I mean, even though we cook, after dividing, its about RM80 per person per month. I wouldn't mind paying 40 more, and no need to waste time cooking =D

But then, my cooking skills improved tremendously during my time here ;D


ohya, I have 2 papers only because

1) its my last sem, i only have 3 subs (thanks to me having taken a summer in sunway in my 1st year)
2) out of the 3 subjects, one of my electives (Money Market Operations AFF3301) is a 100% internal assessment - without any final paper
3) so i'm left with 2 ;D but unfortunately, they HAD to be back to back

rm100 where got enough for entertainment..go club one night all gone...

y monash don provide place for ppl to stay
if they provide they can earn some more
haha
now i gotta find it myself.
