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 university has given me the opportunity to be independent as well as enjoy my study. The local people are hospitable and friendly. Many international students also find it cheap to study here.

“One of the worst universities ever!”

Overall
I am an international postgraduate student here, at USM, and my experience here is terrible. Neither qualified supervisors exist, nor research facilities! At least at the school of Pharmacy! Ask any international student, and they would tell you the same if not worse! USM now is not about science and education. It is all about how they would make money and profit.

Pros
The location, the overall environment, and the people you could make friends of.
Cons
No qualified supervisors, facilities / devices are mostly broke down, embezzlement, and racism
