Leo,
I sent a mail to the housing department as I also had the same doubts.I asked 'em whether there wud be seperate hosuing available in Bukit timah and if not how far the present accomodation is from the Bukit timah campus.
i got an autoreply saying tht they wud need sometime to reply coz this is their busiest working period.
I guess the formalities with respect to visa wud be taken care by NUS itself.So we neednt worry abt right away.The next hitch is housing.

Charan,
Thanks for the housing info. let me know if you got any reply from them. Btw, are we required to open a bank account in one of the local banks? You know, since we do have to pay for insurance and tuition and other stufs.

hey all.
sent my letter of acceptence yesterday. as is apperant from the offer package, the university have already applied for our visa, all we have to do is to fill up a form online(the address is given in the offer letter itself) and wait for two weeks for confirmation. sounds simple enough. the medical reports will have to be submitted at the time of registration.

has anyone started with SOLAR application? as it is given that, the same must be done within three weeks from the date of offer, which happens to be 19th April.

Regards.

hi all
what's your enrolment date?
mine is 21st,July.
so far as i know, GH,the student hall,is a bit far from our new campus. but they must have shuttle bus.so dont worry.
do you submit SOLAR? my SOLAR has been approved and the next thing is waiting again for sending me the approved letter from NUS.

HI...
my enrollment date is also 7th august...i wud be reaching there on 3rd august.....
when are u guys reaching??
as far as accomodation goes...gillman seems very reasonable..however if u r not cost-conscious u can get accomodation closer to bukit timah....though s'pore is well connected n i dnt think reaching bt from gillmans wud be much of an affair....
external shuttle from gillmans to NUS main..n from there i guess there wud be some sort of a univ shuttle to BT...though not really sure on this
Cheers

Hi All,

As I am still waiting the offer letter, is there anyone that is still waiting as well? And When will be the deadline to return the acceptance letter?

It is quite strange that I receive my confirmation (successful application) but I did not yet receive the package.

Thanks for replying.

Alessio

Hey guys!
Greetings from the land of sunshine, gently swaying palms and golden beaches.
Congrats to all of you...you guys have got a good thing going here...I wish I had known about this forum a little earlier...surely could have saved a lot of anxious moments.
Have received an offer of admission to the LLM by coursework programme offered by NUS for the coming academic year.
Any news on the IPA letter to be issued by NUS?
Rgds,
Ajay

Hey Esha!! Hey guys!!
Thanks for welcoming me on board .
Sure feels nice to know that there are more of us sailing on the same boat.
Here's a lil' about myself...
Born in a land blessed with golden beaches, swaying palms and friendly people......go. go..Goa..Till a few weeks ago was an Advocate practising on the Original Side of the Bombay High Court ....was mainly into Admiralty and Maritime Law.
It's gonna be quite a change ...being confronted with a class room instead of a court room. So guy's don't be surprised if you find me addressing the Profs at NUS as "My Lord" or "Your Lordship"...
Here's to a safe passage to NUS and let the good times roll.
Cheers!!

Hey Guys!!
What's the latest on the accomodation scene?
Had applied for acco at Gilman Heights, got an offer for a Type B room which I accepted.....haven't heard from Residential Services since then.
What's the scene like with your acco applications? Has anybody got a confirmed acco at Gilman Heights?
This long wait is indeed killin' me....patience I guess is the name of the game....but patience also has its limits.....I won't be surprised if I start head butting people( a la Zidane) when my patience starts running out. :)
Have a great day!!
Rgds,
Ajay Thomas

Hey guys!

Just check my courses registration result (thanks for the info, Ajay!). Is there anyone planning to take the exemption test for common law legal reasoning and writiing? (I'm from a civil law country, so the course is compulsary). Is there suppose to be a registraion form that we need to fill?

Anyways, I guess you guys are already in the final stage of preparation before departing to s'pore? Everyone will be there on the first week of August right?!

See ya soon!

Hey Guys!
Has anyone received the IPA Letter from NUS?
Guys, what's the Plan of Action in case the IPA ltr is delayed? Has anyone applied for an entry/visit/tourist visa? I have a flight out of India on the 27th of July ., therefore as an act of abundant caution I have applied for an entry visa...hope to get the either the visa or the IPA letter before the 27th. If not.... will have to postpone my departure...not too sure if I will get a confirmed ticket for a later date
Hey Esha! Many thanks for the info 'bout Gillman.
Hey Leo! "Selamat Siang!"Apa kabar?"
Warm regards,
Ajay Thomas
