Hey there, I'm not sure whether or not I should do the OBU.
What's the advantages over the cost and time??

hi guys,

Just wanna post about my experience studying ACCA in one of the most exspensive college in Malaysia. Notice that I did not say "the most exspensive" but  "one of the most". this is because the latter statement is ambiguous in its nature and I do not pin point which college. LOLOLOLOL     

Why don't I mention the name of the college, coz it's written in the RULES AND REGULATION HANDBOOK. 

students are not allowed to defame the college or its lecturers.

technically speaking, I am not refering to any particular institution. so i am not defaming anyone.

Jokes aside, the college really has a good study environment. the library is spacious and filled with really good books. the  only problem i have is that they do not have much kaplan books. coz i am new to ACCA and I prefer kaplan. it's simpler.

another good thing is that students here are very hardworking. everywhere u look u can see acca student studying non stop. which is good coz it makes u feel guilty if u slack. so it's a good motivator. now i understand what the seniors always say about the good environment here. u're reminded to score well all the time. but that carries with it the the burden of stress. coz u'll be studying long hours and not enuf sleep. so have to learn how to manage stress.
haha

lecturer wise, I have no comment. let's just say they do not live up to my expectation considering the hefty price they charge.

one lecturer just read directly from the text book. and the text book is NOT GTG. i'm not sure what brand they use coz i went to the library and GTG book is way better than the text book provided to us. correct me if I am wrong about the GTG part but that is what i observed. he spends more time talking stories than teaching. zzzzz instead of wasting 3 hours in the class, i could have covered the same amount of topic in less than an hour using kaplan.

another lecturer follows the textbook word by word. and she is still not so familiar with ACCA coz she always teach beyond what is required by the topic. nothing wrong with that method, just that she spends too much time just to go through 1 small point which I think is insignificant.

but i've got to admit. they have one really good lecturer for F2. simple explaination and he follows what is required by ACCA and not just follow the text book. in fact he rarely uses the textbook. he only used it for formality. he seems knowledgeable about the syllybus and what is required by ACCA.

anyway, that's just my exsperience. I am not defaming the college. i am merely stating my observation. so dun sue me.       i very very poor one. no money pay for lawyer.
like what all the seniors here have stated many many times. every college has its pros n cons.

choose what suits you. i wish i could go for the lecturers that i want but i am from sabah, i dun have the luxury of my own car or house in KL.

life's not perfect and we have to just suck it up and go through with it whether we like it o not. LOL

So obvious your talking about sunway  I agree with you that the library has no Kaplan books at all.  So many BBP books instead. doing my cat now and some of the lecturers too talk too much stories instead of teaching.

all the acca and cat students there kiasu and kiasi one lah. cannot blame them so hardworking 

Sadly, only a rare group can don't study hard and still pass at higher levels... so, I guess their hardworkingness has some use Perhaps it's something you'll learn one day, once you get to ACCA's F7-F9 and above

Hi. Can I ask 1 question relating tax? If say one director claim his own expenses as reimbursement under his own company, will the reimbursement be treated as a deduction of allowable expenses under employment income?

@xavier , nvm , its just f lvl . u still can self study XD .
later part where lecturer really matters ,thats when u will really whine haha .

Sales order is sent by a customer to a supplier or sent by supplier to a customer??

Of course... you moved to other college because "the current lecturers are not so good" 

hi.i am from penang and i decided to do CAT~ACCA.Any suggestion on good college at penang for these courses? thanks
