1. Which university have da most malay students??
akmal fahmi: Uni with the most Malay? Carleton University is your answer. With baby-like challenge in this university, you will have a very great time spending your money here. But if u like the hardcore type challenge, feel free to choose Toronto. Caution, this university is for the strong hearted only. Proceed with care.
Well, you know how baby can grow too right. So, the challenges in Carleton will grow exponentially with year.
aiman azlan: The most important thing is not to follow where your friends go. Don't make that the factor in your choice. Look for quality.
Mr. Muhammad: Don't choose Carleton University if you intend to improve your english.
Don Hambali: hahaha... ak pon nk post something gak kat sini... wait,the advise that i can give u guys who wanna listen to me advise is that go to the uni that most of ur best frends go... no offence aiman but i do think that frends are really undeniably important when u r so far away from ur freaking home...maybe u can say that u can live without ur frends... but trust me, once u get here - without frends, in which i mean close frends, u will regret the decision u made in the first place... i noe this kind of pain in the ass becoz i am the guy who made his decision to go to the uni that he wanted and not to the uni that most of his good frends go becoz he thought that his decision is the best... well, IT IS NOT!!! and i regret now, i regret it everyday... its not about the name that u shud be after... its the environment... a lot of good frends around to care and remind u always is definitely a good environment... to me at least...
sorry for being such a naive person... but thats wat i think...
akmal fahmi: I agree with everything that Mr. Muhammad and Mr. Don said. Don, nice reasoning. If you think you could survive alone, think again.
takcoollah.zuhair: yeh its true.. living in toronto may not be that easy, but its not all about acedemic.. its about living, the way u live ur life..there'r some advantages in toronto too.. lol>,<
2. Should I choose to live in the resident provided by the university?
akmal fahmi: One wise word, "NO". If you think you don't need to get back to Malaysia in your first year, then feel free to choose the resident. The reason? Well, you will spend 90% of your monthly allowance to pay for the resident only.
3. In general,what university good for you?
everjihad: well, try ask yourself what are you finding for university? reputation? environement? it's all up to you to decide your goal and interest.
doesn't mean good university such university taht have high rank is good for you. not necessarily. but if u r person that love challenges, come in and get urself challenged.
some might feel, it's just enough as long they get university abroad, it doesn't necessarily which univ they are going. while some also might thing, 'alang2 dah pegi jauh, baik pegi univ yg bagus2, ada rank..'..
last but not least, consider jugak university yg nak pergi ni, is it really what you want? convinced u enough?
be sure with that so that you will not regret with any decision you make today. jangan merungut bila dah masuk sini, workload bnykla and so on..masa yg ada, research betul2. so that u are aware and know what to expect.
pemilihan universiti agak penting. it determine how your life will be in future. for muslims, don't forget to do istikharah while choosing which university will be your final choice. after all, just have faith in Him that that the best for you. tawakkal 'alallah. nothing will worry or make you down as Allah always give the best. the only thing, have we give the best we can?
err.maaf. membebel pulak kat sini.
all da best to u guys. happy choosing your future. May God helps u.
Natun Nattayo:
Things to consider in choosing a university:
1. Program
-obviously you are going to choose a uni that offers the program u wanted.nuff said.
2. Environment( friends,food,entertainment)
-I disagree with aiman. Overseas students should go to a uni with friends(close friends if possible). Dont follow what they do(program tht they take) but at least have someone!! It's ABSOLUTELY depressing to be stuck in a place(even worse, boring place) where you dont have anybody to turn to, to talk or to hang out on a REGULAR basis) I'm saying this bsd from my experience. If this is not possible, find at least a uni that is close to ur friend's uni. That way you can travel back and forth just to meet them...which costs u a lot of money...but its for ur happiness so u wudnt mind abt it...right?
-halal food for muslims is a must. u dont wanna be eating shawarma everytime u go out. I thought downtown toronto has lots of halal food,but I'm wrong.It turns out many halal food are in missisauga and scarborough. Plus, they're cheaper.
-entertainment.as students we should be studying, but... if ur used to living in big cities, consider going to uoft(st george) mcgill or ubc. Having no entertainment is another cause for major depression.hoho. So again, u'll be forced to travel a lot in a year.
3. Cost
- if ur thinking saving money but still want to go to a good uni,consider going to uoft missisauga or scarborough(but also make sure they offer ur program)
- uoft downtown is expensive...and i guess it's the same for other unis in cities.
disclaimer: I'm not responsible if it turned out that my advise causes dissatisfactions, diagreement with what I said or anything that is detrimental to ur future.It's all from my opinion and experiences =D
