Accommodation for
foreign students in Malaysia
Staying in touch with family and friends while you are studying
in Malaysia is naturally important to you and your loved ones.
Communication by e-mail makes it possible to stay in contact
regularly and inexpensively. Your education provider will
generally offer internet and computer services, and there are
also internet cafes in major cities and towns.
At times you will also want to speak to relatives and friends by
telephone. There are many mobile phone providers in Malaysia
offering a range of services and payment options; however,
overseas calls by mobile phone are usually expensive. Phone
cards offer more affordable rates and are widely available in
retail stores. Before purchasing a phone card, make sure it can
be used to call Vietnam.
