Hi Lycia! Are you a transfer student from a Malaysian uni or will you be starting the course from scratch?

Will be good to see a fellow Malaysian at the law school from time to time. :smile:

Hi guys!

From Brunei here and if my education loan is approved (lol), I'll be doing Business Info. Systems.

Since September is approaching, all international students will be nervous yet busy gearing up to start a new independent student life in Cardiff. So I wonder how have you all been preparing to move to Cardiff? What do you plan to bring with you and how have you planned your monthly spending budget?

Would love to hear some input from fellow international students :smile:

Have a nice day!

Orang Sabah bah! I love 1Borneo and the Manukan Island <3

250 pound sounds reasonable. How many luggage are you planning to bring?

Ya bah

. I honestly have never hear of Manukan Island :s-smilie:

.

My parents are helping me carry my stuff so I'll be carrying one big luggage bag and each of my parent will carry a box of my stuff. All in total thats 3 luggages I guess.
