There are a lot of universities in Malaysia and a lot of good universities, but not all the university is right for everyone. There are a lot of international students struggle when they come to Malaysia because they are not happy with their university or college. Most of the students have different wants and needs, based on their wants and needs they have to make correct action from the beginning. Some students are not happy with their university because the study is hard, expensive, the quality of education is low, not too many international students, they don't understand the accent of the lecturers and the campus life is not good. For some people some of these things above could be good.
Study is hard
Some students are not happy with their university because the study is very hard for them, not all the students are study type of the students, maybe some students came from different educational system and for them Malaysian system could be very new.
How can you chose your university in terms of the difficulty of the education?
International students should go to universities where there are less international students, the reason for this is that the international students could also be struggling just like you. Malaysia students are very friendly and they are good people, they are some international students that can not get a long with locals but if you get to know the Malaysian students they are very good people. Malaysians can help the international students with their study, usually Malaysia students love to study in a group because they know that group study is very useful and very effective therefor they will ask you to join. If you think you will have difficulty with your study the best choice will be university that has a lot of local students.

Study is too expensive
Some universities are very expensive, some of the university have a lot hidden fees and very high tuition fees. There are students that can not complete their study because the study is very expensive. If you are the student that wants to graduate with lower cost then the best choice will be public universities or semi public universities. The tuition fees in some of the private universities are very high but the quality of education is very good, some of the universities increase their tuition fees because they are demand for it. There are a lot of local and international students that goes to private universities and to semi public universities because the education is fully in English. Some of the universities provide low tuition fees but the accommodation can be vary expensive. Depending on the location of the universities but if the location of the university you want to study is in the center of Kuala Lumpur then the accommodation will be so much. The cost you graduating will be very high, just because of the accommodation, transport and food. Malaysians think that international students have a lot of money but they are wrong in this, most of the international student hardly can support their study in Malaysia, most of them end up going back without completing their study. If you are studying the place where the cost of living is very high then you will have to put in some extra effort in minimizing the cost of the living by staying in the hostels.
Where are the international students?
Some of the international students are not happy with the university that has few international students because they want to meet international students to build their networking. For some students networking is very important because they know the value of the networking. Therefor they go to some of the universities which have very few international students, for some people they think the more international students are the better the university is. It is not like that, international students do not increase the ranking of the university and they do not increase the value of the university. If the international student graduate from the university and become Nobel Price winner, president, prime minister, CEO of one of the top company or invent something then the ranking and value of the university will increase dramatically. If the university have too many international students that fails so many times and gets in to too many crime then the value of the university will decrease. There are some good universities in Malaysia that keeps their international students with high level of education rather than just have them for image or money. If you want to study in the university with a lot of international students then you have to choose the university or college that have quality of education because they only care about education and the international students who are studying at that kind of university are educated.
The accent of the lecturers can also be a problem for some of the international students, most of the international students that come to Malaysia don't understand some of the lecturers accent, and this can be problem for some of the students because if they can't understand what the lecturer is talking about then they will not have any idea about their study. Some of the universities are aware of this problem therefor they mostly employ lecturer who have PhD qualification, if you are in the university that your lecturer speaks in accent that you can't understand then the best thing to do is to ask the lecturer to explain again and to speak in a way that you can understand.

Too boring
Campus life is boring, in some of the universities campus life can be boring and in some other universities the campus life can be very interesting. Campus life can have huge impact in your studies, there are many ways it can effect your study, one of it is your happiness. If the students are happy they can put all they focus on their study and they can make use of the campus to enjoy their studies. Most of the universities understand the importance of campus therefor they invest so much money and effort in building perfect campus for students. If you are the type of students who wants to have fun all the time then you should try to control your enjoyment and focus more on the study. Make little bit of research on the universities campus life, make sure there is not too much of social life going on and not too boring also, too much fun is also not good for your study and too boring is also not good for your study.
