Educity Village which is 2 km from the campus. You may proceed to book online or you can contact them at info.ev@educity.com.my and +607-5353 250. You are advised to book your accommodation early as the room availability is based on a first come first serve basis.
You may book here.
You will need to work out how you are getting to your accommodation. If you have registered for the meet and greet service, you will be met at Senai Airport and taken to your accommodation, (applicable to both local and international students). You will need to complete the arrival form and email it to Enrol.Malaysia@soton.ac.uk. Please take note that the free meet and greet service is only applicable to international students.
During your first week, there will be a variety of activities taking place to help you get to know both the academic and administrative staff based at the Malaysia Campus, as well as the surrounding area. There will be a range of planned activities to help you get to know your fellow students and these will also be attended by student representatives from other years. There will also be social events to add to your calendar. You are encouraged to participate in all of the planned induction activities. If you are unwell and cannot attend the induction, please notify the Student Administration and Services (SAS) at +607-560 2560.
You will be supplied with a letter from your Student Administration and Services (SAS) confirming your status as a student to allow you to open a local bank account. In Malaysia, the currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (RM). To open a local bank account, you will be required to have a minimum of RM500. International students can purchase a bank draft/banker's cheque with their name according to their passport written on it and use it as a deposit to open a bank account if they do not wish to carry a lot of cash around.
It can take up to two weeks or more for a bank draft to clear, it would therefore be sensible to bring RM 2,000 in cash to use in the first few weeks on campus.
We recommend that you visit your local practitioner to get advice on the vaccinations required before attending university.
