In short: TJS Studysteps, our partner in Malaysia, helps you find temporary accommodation for your first days and a permanent place near your campus. Living costs in shared accommodation are typically USD 300–500 a month. Rent and deposits are paid directly to the landlord or university.
What do we do?
- Help you choose between university housing and private rooms near campus.
- Help you arrange temporary accommodation for your first days.
- Help you find permanent accommodation, and check the arrangement with you before you commit.
What do you need to do?
- Tell us your budget and whether you prefer to share.
- Read your agreement before you sign or pay a deposit.
- Pay rent directly to the landlord or university.
When does it happen?
Planning starts before you travel, as part of your pre-departure briefing. The search for a permanent place usually continues after you arrive.
What does it cost?
Our help is part of our service: no consultancy fee for private universities, USD 500 for public universities. Rent, deposits and utilities are paid by you to the landlord or university.
