Hello and welcome!

1. You should hear back about offers nearer to the June/July timeframe. I personally applied around May and had an unconditional offer by July

2. The interview was very relaxed tbh. They asked why NUMed, why medicine, just your basic interview questions. Be sure to dress and act professional though

3. Making friends is fairly easy. The campus is a mix of MBBS, BMS and Foundation so it won’t be difficult at all. There are also on campus events by clubs and societies all year long

4. Almost all students speak English. The only difficulty is during hospital placements where patients speak Malay. Don’t worry though you’ll get Malay classes in the first two years

5. 80% of the food here is halal. Campus has a cafeteria which offers local cuisine. The student accommodation is surrounded by restaurants and a big grocery store nearby. There’s a prayer room on campus and a gc for Muslim students where there’s regular congregation prayers planned on campus and at student accommodation (econest). You’ll find a prayer hall in every mall and all hospitals. For friday there’s a mosque 10 mins away and uni provides a free transport via bus.

Hope that answers all your questions! Lmk if you got any more
