Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)

The language of instruction was English. I stayed in Malaysia too short to learn other than basic sentences, and I did not have an option to choose Malay at school.

Overall I find Malaysia and the people living there very interesting. It is easy to travel around in the country and people are helpful. If you want to travel around in Malaysia or to any of the neighbouring countries ask your taxi driver. He probably knows someone who can take you where you want pretty cheap or he arrange to do it himself just to earn some more money.

The campus housing were in really bad condition.

The favorite nightspot was Slippery Senoritas. The place was mostly dominated by Chinese Malaysians, but also to a lesser degree international students. You should also try out the small local bars in your neighbourhood. The best food you get at the local food courts, or small hidden shops, and generally the food in Malaysia is very good. When you want to get away from the city life, Lankawi island is only a short distance away. Perenthian islands on the north east coast, on the other hand, are more complicated to reach, but a place one shouldn't miss. It is quiet and really beautiful with good places for going snorkelling or diving.
