I agree that the fees are not that big a difference for most of us come from families of middle income . We all want to graduate from this tough tough course. 2 ways to achieve it:
1. good campus facilities esp space like chairs and tables in quiet study environment. We can work hard, so long as we put in effort we can pass. one or two such colleges are devoid of lecturers who can't communicate clearly, let alone teach us, EXCEPT for P2 Lecturer. Good and dedicated! on other papers, so we have to rely on ourselves.
2. good lecturers. We still have to work hard, but this time our learning curve (F9 theory
) is faster.
But I think for many CAT loyalists who passed would think that current college is good. "I am OK so far in exam, why change school?" mentality. Perfectly understandable. But one should look ahead, are seniors are passing at higher levels? I can vouch many many students failed. June 2009 results, we have about 20 of us taking a F Level paper and only 3 of us passed! 3!
So 2 options for CAT loyalists:
a) I don't believe what you say. stay and try anyway the F Level lecturers.
b) wise up. I know too many failed. I better find much better lecturers.
Please bear in mind, we still have to work very hard.
I think the above doesn't apply to straight A students.
I mean they are already good, never mind about experienced lecturers.
On good study environment but with new new young young lecturers, is like going into a restaurant because it has nice chairs tables, lightings and oh yeah never mind about the Lousy Chef (Lecturers) and low quality food ingredients (Textbooks and manuals). That's is least important.
In my humble opinions only. to pass is combination of very good lecturers and personal hard work. all other things like concourse, nice condo living, pools, sports courts are distractions.

Well, i think lecturers play the most important role in your studies. If you have good lecturers, more or less you are save. If you have bad lecturers, you might even be demotivated by their lectures, ie go to their lectures without 'semangat'. Good lecturers save most of your work, produce summarize notes, key words, examination techniques, and committed in reaching to your problems. You can't really study P3 by studying everything from Kaplan, BPP to GTG and even JSW
Well, I feel that students are the customers, and to some certain extent, they should be treated nicely (stakeholders kept satisfied?) given that they are the one who are paying (forget about those scholarship holders). It's useless for a student attending lectures, and listening them merely 'elaborating' from the textbooks.Straight A students or not straight A, I don't think they different a lot. They are still human. They still need to be treated equally with other students, with care by the university/college. My friend once participated in an accounting competition, and he said the winner of the competition failed a subject in his/her P paper. And I actually find the paper is the easiest among P papers (if you know how to tackle the questions, and have the techniques)! If not mistaken, what she lacks of is really the techniques (which usually colleges don't teach), and also some luck (merely because you don't learn luck in ACCA doesn't mean that it is not important).
Regarding the environment, I think to a certain extent, it plays. For example, I can't study well in a hot, and cramped single-storey small terrace-house with 5 rooms. There are also some facilities that students really need when it comes to study. Other than than, clubs, pubs, I think they don't serve any purpose in your ACCA studies, unless the they relate to the scenario tested in P7.
