Affordable Cost of Living

Well Malaysia’s currency is Ringgit, which is a relatively cheap currency in comparison to AUD, each AUD is approximately about 2.86 Ringgits  and that is a really good exchange rate. Student life in JB is also relatively cheap, I wouldn’t say too cheap, as I don’t think anywhere is too cheap anymore, but a student can live more comfortable than other places like even it’s neighboring city like Kuala Lumpur. In my experience on Malaysia piece I wrote some approximate figures regarding the cost of living in Kuala Lumpur, I’m not really aware of the living costs in other student oriented cities in Malaysia but they are certainly cheaper than Kuala Lumpur. I would say with about 1000 Ringgits a month, which is less than 350 AUD, a student can live quite comfortable in JB.
