Study abroad in Malaysia
Regarding renting a house, it has always been the most concerned issue for international students. First of all, before studying abroad, everyone needs to understand the accommodation situation of the university they want to attend. Let’s talk about the University of Malaya (UM for short). Postgraduate students can apply for dormitories. The dormitories are divided into on-campus dormitories and off-campus dormitories. Generally, the monthly rent is about 500 RM5 (1 RM1 is about 1.7 RM1). However, the dormitory is usually 2 people's rooms, and there is no independent kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are usually shared in four or five rooms, which means about 10 people share a set of kitchen and bathroom... Moreover, listening to the senior sister's narration, in many cases, roommates cannot choose by themselves, and they are likely to be assigned to roommates from different countries. Everyone has differences in their religious beliefs, work, rest, diet, etc., and some people have had some frictions because of this.
. If you rent a house outside the school, you can get it off at , around , a small house in three bedrooms and one living room. Malaysia apartment buildings are generally three bedrooms, one living room or four bedrooms, one living room. Each large room will have an independent bathroom, and other medium and small rooms share the remaining public bathrooms. In other words, it is much better to share a bathroom at most than two or three people than to live on campus. Moreover, Malaysia's apartment communities generally have swimming pools and gyms, which greatly improves the comfort of the whole life.
Apartments around the University of Malaya, it is recommended to South View. It has a good geographical location and can be reached by foot. It has a good environment and is a relatively high-end community. Near the subway station, easy to travel. However, due to its good geographical location and relatively popular, rents have also risen. Small houses cost 800 or 900 RMB, and large houses cost around 1,700 RMB. There are many Chinese students. Next is Saville@the Park Bangsar. It is actually convenient to drive on the hillside, but if you take a bus, especially where there is no subway, you really can't do it. Keep the Malaysian bus for later and complain. The rent in this community is cheap and the environment is very good, but the transportation is inconvenient, so there will be more taxi entry and exit. After all, it will be another cost. A small house can be won by about RM600 per month, while a large house can be won by RM1,000-1,300 per month. There is also the Pantai community, the buildings are relatively old, and the location is similar to Saville, and it is not very convenient. But Pantai is a relatively large community, and there are several areas that are still relatively close to the school bus station. It depends on everyone's budget and the requirements for accommodation environment, each one has different.
As for the rental channel, I contacted a Chinese senior who was about to graduate in the group. He was doing business in Malaysia for international students' rental housing. Generally, the rent deposit in Malaysia is 2.5 months, and rent and water and electricity are paid monthly. There is a problem that everyone needs to pay attention to. Some Malaysian landlords will default to not refund the deposit. When they actually check out, they will deduct various deductions and will not be refunded a few dollars. Therefore, it is more secure to find an agent, and they can help communicate with the landlord. The agency fee does not need to be paid by yourself, and it will be deducted from the landlord.
My rental experience
My rental experience is a bit reference. I live in the community of Saville. To be honest, I really like this community. It is a high-end community in , Kuala Lumpur, and is composed of two high-rise apartments and ten villas. It is said that in a certain villa, there is also a Datuk from Malaysia living. The environment of the community is really good, green, green plants everywhere, and an infinity swimming pool. Because it is located halfway up the mountain, the scenery is unique. In addition to the basic supporting swimming pool and gym, there is also a sauna.
The first room I lived in was a four-bedroom and one living room on the 12th floor. At that time, in order to save the cost of studying abroad, I chose the smallest room, which was only 550 RMB per month. Although the room is small, the lighting is great, and you can see the skyscrapers in the distance from the window. However, because the decision was in a hurry, I didn’t pay attention to the choice of my roommates, which also led to a bad experience later.
At that time, I shared the rental with two other boys and a girl. We didn't know each other, we just put together the house.Here I also remind friends who are about to study abroad that it is best to live with acquaintances. Living with strangers is inevitable. It is inevitable to encounter a few scumbags, which will inevitably bring a dark experience to your study abroad life.
The dark experience of renting a house for the first time
I think I have worked for four or five years before studying abroad. I have already had enough experience and life experience to deal with various situations, but I am really too naive! My first experience of renting a house in Malaysia has brought me a heavy blow!
Among the three roommates who share the rent, my sister who lives in the big room is the most affinity. We are both from the north and are both careless and don’t care. We go shopping together all day long. Two boys living in the middle room, one is a bald doctor and the other is a squinting master. They got along well at the beginning. The bald doctor suggested that everyone raise funds to buy various kitchen utensils together. Actually, I prefer to use my own, but when I first arrived, I thought not to destroy the harmony of shared rentals, so I agreed to buy them together. Unexpectedly, the use of kitchen utensils became the fuse for me to leave the house.
The bald doctor started to perform well and cook for us. Later, one time, when we were having dinner at our deskmate, he told us that he had experienced beating an elderly man on the bus before, and he also said that he would attack women when he got angry. I felt something was wrong when I heard it and smelled a threatening smell. He always wanted to be the boss of this house and had to listen to him in everything, for example, he had to clean up once a week, and I was responsible for mopping the floor. But I almost never use the living room. They made it very dirty by themselves, and asked my sister and I to divide the responsibilities and do it. For example, after using up the kitchen, you must wipe all cabinets , including cabinet door ...
Another squinting master, who obeys this elder brother's advice, maybe he dare not refute it. The master's degree in squinting likes loli-type girls. When I see me, a big sister who is almost 30 years old and still studying abroad, I feel a sense of contempt. He was secretly used as a gunman by the bald doctor. He accused me and my sister in the group every day. Sometimes he said that our kitchen was not cleaned, sometimes he said that there was hair on the ground... It turned out that the whole house belonged to them, and they would do whatever they wanted. These two people were really a perfect match. What's even more hateful is that they were led by the bald doctor. The two boys often walked around in front of me and my eldest sister and I, wearing only briefs... Every time I saw it, I secretly disgusted and talked to them several times, but they didn't listen. Instead, they came out to sway more...
Later, the eldest sister dropped out of school for her own reasons, and only the two boys were left in the room...
The conflict broke out when I broke out... One time I didn't have a class, so I simply didn't go to school that day. I was doing my homework and cooking inside the house. That pot was a common pot I bought at that time. I cooked the noodles, put some out, and some left in the pot, thinking about eating it later. Unexpectedly, the bald doctor came back and wanted to use the pot. When he saw that there were still noodles left in the pot, he thought I was not there, so he used the pot and did not wash it. He ran to the door of Mimi-eyed and said something swearing. I knew it was talking about me, but the Mimi-eyed didn't tell him even though he knew I was in the house. Later I couldn't help it, but I didn't say it explicitly, nor did I open the door. I told him in the group not to wash his underwear in the public washing machine... Unexpectedly, the bald man exploded and rushed over and took a video of a pot of cursing, with his mouth full of swearing. Later I went out to argue with him, and he might have just learned that I was in the house. In front of me, he was full of swear words and looked at me proudly... I didn't know what was wrong at that time, looking at the unsealed balcony on the 12th floor, facing the two perverted men in the room, he didn't dare to fight back. Later I thought about it, I was really cowardly, but I was afraid that they would do something that hurt me. Later I went back to the house and locked the door...
Later when I went out to wash the pot, the bald man apologized to me with a smile, but at the same time asked me to apologize to him... I expressed my disbelief, and he said all kinds of words, threatening me openly and secretly, asking me to listen to him in this house, otherwise he would let everyone exclude me.(Because the eldest sister moved out, the bald friend was about to move into the big room)
I went back to the house and thought about it, but I couldn't continue living... I could predict how they would treat me in the future. After a brief discussion with my sister, I decided to move out. Just a few days ago, a friend of mine sent a sublease message in the group. Her room was a large room with an independent bathroom. It was also in this community, on the third floor, and it costs 1,000 RM1,000 per month. My sister also said that whether it is money or not is a trivial matter, and safety is the most important thing.
The next day, with the help of my friends, I decisively packed all my luggage and moved away without hesitation. The small house was subleted to another bald friend. Perhaps this was the bald man’s purpose. I asked me to leave, empty the room, and fill it with people he knew and could control! The view outside the window of the small house on the floor is

The second time renting a house is the best experience
After moving to the third floor, the situation has improved a lot. The 3rd floor is a three-bedroom and one living room. I live in a large room with independent bathrooms and a boy in a medium room. I have known one of them before. These two boys are very good, have good personalities, and do not have all kinds of quirks. The boy from the middle-aged house moved out and sublet it to a girl, which was also very good. Especially the boy in Xiaofang, I am very close to him. We often go to the night market together, cook spicy hotpot, and eat Niu Mo's buffet hotpot... Now that I have returned to China, I am still in touch. The time I lived in a large house on the third floor was the happiest time I was in Malaysia. I moved to the 3rd floor after living on the 12th floor for two months. I lived on the 3rd floor until the Chinese New Year in 2020. Outside the window of the floor of

Small summary
There are always ups and downs in life. The previous experience was an episode of my study in Malaysia. Although I felt a little bit uneasy whenever I think about this, I always felt so cowardly. Sometimes I think about it, if I were a big, thick boy with tattoos, would I not even dare to say a word in front of me? Human nature always wants to find superiority from people who are weaker than him!
There is haze and sunshine, this is life!
talk so much about it today, and continue another day!
