Preparing for your travel
Travel Ticket and Packing for Travel

If you already have your accommodation arranged, you are advised to arrive in KL at least a few days before your course starts, so that you can settle down with your accommodation and the new environment. Also remember that during holiday seasons, flights could be expensive or fully booked on your desired dates, so make sure you make your ticket reservation soon after you receive your Student Pass approval letter.
When packing your luggage, remember that there are certain restrictions on the weight of luggage when you travel by air. Excess luggage charges can be quite expensive, so sometimes it may be cheaper to leave your books and heavy things at home and buy new ones in Malaysia. Check with your travel agent or airline on how much you can bring, what you are allowed and not allowed to bring into Malaysia.

It averages 29 degrees Celsius year round in Malaysia, so leave your sweaters and winter coats at home! You will need both professional attire and casual. During school sessions, professional attire is required on campus. You may want to bring casual clothing for non-school and off-campus events.

Make yourself feel at home! Bring personal stuff like posters or photographs of your friends and family. If you are bringing any electrical equipment with you, remember that the power supply in Malaysia is 220 - 240 volts / 50 cycle AC system.
Living and getting around in Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, or just KL, is the capital city of Malaysia. Bukit Jalil is a suburb located 15 minutes away from KL downtown. It was developed into the National Sports Complex for the 1998 Commonwealth Games and currently also houses Technology Park Malaysia (TPM) and APU. TPM is Malaysia's most established technology hub which lodges global researchers and high technology leaders of the information age. During the first few weeks you will become familiar with the city and its neighbourhoods. The people here and the local life are two of the best things about studying at APU! You'll quickly find that you and newly met fellow students will discover a lot about local life, customs and culture, transport, places of interest, shopping centres, post offices, cinema, etc.

USD 400 - USD 500) per month depending on the living lifestyle of the students.
Currency
The local currency is Ringgit Malaysia (RM). It is generally easy to convert currencies at the money changers and banks throughout Malaysia. Most organisations in Malaysia accept major credit cards; some accept travellers' cheques. ATMs can also be used to obtain cash via debit/cash cards from your home bank.
Upon arriving in Malaysia, we advise you to open an account with a local bank. You will need to obtain a letter from our Student Services for this purpose.
