Knowing Malaysians, very very few (if not none) will even think about study at non-popular destinations

What Bush is tryin 2 say is tat d cost of education in certain countries is vry cheap as it's heavily subsided by d government. England is nt in this case n they hv increased tuition fees for international students last year. Popular student destinations like UK n US r nt cheap.

For d "non-popular destination"s, i feel tat France is a gud place 2 study. Education in France is heavily subsides by d government, d french government pay a portion of ur monthly rent n thr r university restaurants which serve a whole meal for jz 3.05 €. ( a price tat cn't find in any resto in France or UK). If u learn 2 cook, u cn save evn more. However, it's vry hard 2 find uni tat offer degree courses in english bt i hv seen a lot of masters n phd courses in english.

Furthermore, in a recent survey, Paris beat London 2 b the no 1 student destination.

France is just one of the examples. Scandinavia, Germany and Switzerland have similar offerings. So if you don't think you can live with the French way of doing things, go some place else in Europe.

I must confirm what boyzoo said. It's really affordable to live in France. The government pays about 170 euros a mth for your rent. As a student and a youth, you get special discounts for museums, train and bus tickets and 3-euro meals at student cafeterias. They serve really good meals too.

So if you share an apartment, eat at student cafes and cook, you can get by easily for 300-500 euros a month. RM1200-2000 a month. Something like in SG but with the added benefit of cheap bordeaux wines and goat cheese.

After finish studying.....then should work elsewhere lah. France must pay very high tax.

SPM leaver with 9A+ and above + achieved 3.5 above in stpm/good results in other pre u + got accepted to the list of universities stated in esila kenyataan akhbar = automatic bursary during pre u and sponsorship during undergraduate
This is a super good news for SPM 2011 leavers..

But how about SPM 2010 and SPM 2009 leavers?
I am one of the SPM 2009 leavers who fulfilled ALL the requirements, EXCEPT i m not born in 1994,n just because because I'm born older, I'm not eligible for the automatic (u got offer letter for undergraduate and score well in pre u and u get the scholarship as long as u got 9A+ during spm) scholarship.. Nothing at all! I wish I'm born 2 years later!

My roommate back in college (we did A-Levels) scored 2A*s and 2A's. She managed to get offer for Law from LSE, KCL, Manchester and another Russell Group university. Applied for scholarships offered by Bank Negara, Khazanah, SC and didn't receive any good news from them. Her parents are teachers and so she is thinking of just settling in the country due to financial hardships since there are not a lot of cooperation out there that are willing to sponsor students to read Law.
