Hi all, wondering if there are any study spots in NUS (preferably utown) that has a monitor for students to connect to laptop and use. Does it require booking?

If there is, do I have to bring my own HDMI cable?

With NOC applications starting soon, I had a couple of questions for NOC alumni. Are there any particular locations you recommend? I was considering applying to SV and Munich but was wondering how the experience at each of them is

Also how exactly does the housing work? Do you stay at the partner universities and partake in university clubs etc or is it just separate housing with some courses at the partner university and no more than that?

Got stuck with a 6 PM to 8 PM class this sem, which makes it bit difficult to have dinner:

• eating at 5 PM feels too early (and if I eat a big meal I doze off in class)
• if I wait till after class at 8 PM to eat then I find most things are closed except for fast food (not healthy in the long run)

So, for people that have had this class time, what dinner arrangments worked for you?

what unis are good for mapping computing/bioinformatics on sep? im looking to map zb and cs 2k mods

open for all reccs in countries where primary instruction language is english

As per title.

This sem there’s 6x graded quizzes (10 MCQ per quiz) after each relevant lecture which makes up 60% of your final grade.

The other 40% is class attendance and participation.

Thing is, I screwed up the second graded quiz today and am only getting 9/10 for Quiz 2.

Even if I assume I max the remaining quizzes and the class attendance/ part, are my chances of getting A+ gone?

Am I getting a B now??? C?? 😭😭😭 I’m worried about the bell curve fuck.

Jesus Christ. 💀

Hi guys,
today I was dropped with a news by my gf that she wants to end things with me. I am really devastated and I have no one to talk to. my parents are never quite supportive of anything I do and I don't have any friend to talk with. she was the only one I had. doesn't help that there are assignments piling up and mid terms are coming soon too. im scared I will end up hurting myself or make a very bad decision. I really need help. is there any nus therapist I can visit? thanks

im a y1 science student taking hsh/hsi/gea1000 this sem and im srsly so lost in all these chs common mods, especially hsh!!!! seriously every day im on the verge of crashing out bc im rly not interested in philosophy and what not and its just v hard for me to grasp the abstract concepts...anyone else?? i picked science for a reason but now i feel like im spending significantly more time doing non-science stuff rather than my major mods😭😭

really not enjoying my uni life so far...the common mods make it so much worse

I am an exchange student from East Asia but nationality and ethnicity wise, I am South Asian. I do understand Korean to a good level.

I was in the bus, near the central library when these two people behind me were talking about how it was stinking in the bus. I was carrying food with me and they proceeded to talk amongst themselves that it was me and my Indian curry stinking up the whole bus. They then proceeded to talk about how Indians dont shower, how their food is stinky and how dirty they are.

The only problem was that I was carrying food from one of the NUS halls (wasn't indian food either lol, it was just leftover kang kong and rice). I just felt so shitty then. When I got off near my hall, they got off too. I accidentally dropped my wallet and they were so sweet when they handed it back to me. It was shocking meh.

I have seen this happen at other places too. I was sitting across a Chinese family at one of the canteens. When the family got up, they left several wrappers and food spilled on the table. A few minutes later, a cleaning lady comes by, gives me a nasty look and while picking up the wrappers, loudly says that "in Singapore, we use dustbins".

ISTG, why does everyone think that I am culprit when I hadn't even done anything? I just wanna exist in peace without getting called stinky and dirty.

Update: Thank you guys so much for your love and kindness. Singapore has been very kind to me since I have been here and I manage to fall in love with this country again and again. Almost everyone I meet is compassionate and wonderful. I am so glad I came to nus for exchange

I will not let these isolated incidents affect my experience.

Left GESS pillar to take before graduate and I need a suitable GESS mod to pull up my gpa (at least by a bit), so GESS1025 wont work for me

My preferences would be:

- no presentation or creative writing stuff as I'm not good at them

- prefer grindable exams as I accept to work moderately hard on this mod to get A or above

Any suggestions are very welcomed. Tq

Hii guys, I’m an incoming student next year (after I finish my ns). I want to have a very active/social uni life and I think staying on campus will help with that.

Its quite confusing because at the time I wrote my application, there wasn’t an option to apply to stay in hall? Is there a different process to apply for things like this? I’ve also heard that there’s such thing as an RC (Residential College) but I’m unsure how this is different to a hall in any way.

If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!!!

Hi I was wondering if there is a telegram chat for people applying to winter school in korea? Specifically KU or yonsei.

Also have some questions:

How long does it take for PU to process our application?

Is SIA student fares are worth it?

Also was wondering if anyone has tried mapping ECO3104 in yonsei back to ST1131

I might be doing UPIP next sem (AY26/27 S2) to fulfil my grad requirements, and am currently planning to do DSA426X along with it since it is a night class.

However, ideally, I would like to do another CS night mod to fulfil my 2nd major requirements. The workload of this mod also seems to be quite manageable/light based on reviews. Additionally, if I do not clear this CS mod next sem, I'll have to overload quite heavily in my final sem, which I'll most likely struggle with. Worst case, I'll have to drop the 2nd major.

Hence, I was wondering if any other DSA students managed to successfully get approval to read DSA426X + another mod while doing UPIP? If so, how did you appeal?

Or is it pretty much impossible to get a successful appeal to read DSA426X with a non-GEN/CFG mod while on UPIP? In that case, would it be more likely for me to get a successful appeal to read my CS night mod + another mod that I would otherwise clear in my final sem?

But if it's pretty much impossible to get an approval to read 2 mods on top of UPIP for DSA students, ig I'll just do the internship as non-credit bearing. Just that I think it might be hard to do a summer UPIP as the timeframe of spring internships tend to overlap with the 1st-2nd mth of summer internships.

wont go into much detail but our friendship fell apart halfway through year 1, the rest of them were avoiding me and very blatantly leaving me out of things. i never said anything and just closed one eye until something happened. i tried to stay friends but it got so awkward i decided to cut them off completely and now we are in year 2. i feel much better by myself than forcing myself to stay with people who treat me like shit :,) but still feels very lonely as everyone in class already have solid friend groups even tho i am friends with my classmates. anyone who went through friendship problems in uni?

helloo has anyone join wib’s mentorship programme before? i’m interested in joining but im curious what the commitment is like for 6 months and how is the programme structure like

asking in this channel too.

i'm an international student.

it's the teaching quality, not difficulty that is most important to me.

bcos I don't stay on campus and smell like a cs student now

The computer has some kind of virus that makes your files into a .exe file on your thumbdrive. Spent 2 hours scanning through my files afterwards. Please print from your own computer.

Currently a Y2 taking 30 mcs this sem with 12 mcs of fluff. I really don't care about the fluffs and just want to do the bare minimum to pass. How much effort do I have to put in to pass?

Doing this because I barely touched my SUs last year and have to clear them before they expire.

Administratively wise, im Y3 now. But I did well enough during year 1, but i crashed really hard in year 2, and I was in a dark state which im only pulling slowly out of now. I feel like Im only working on my personal and professional development now compared to others who have had multiple internships, and I just feel so scared starting out only now.

I dont even know if internships post graduation are a thing because I've landed absolutely zero. It is demoralising but im working on projects and my portfolio.

Just scared of going down this dark path, yet my efforts feel futile. I dont know what other job i can do since ive dedicated all my schooling life to a stem major. The negative self sabotaging thoughts are kinda loud, but I just try to persevere one more day. It feels rly bleak.

Hi, I’m a y3 Biz student. I got my first 6-month internship offer for Jan-Jun 2027. I’m not sure if I should make it credit bearing or not. Any advice will be very much appreciated!

Context:

I'm a creator in Geometry Dash, so if you play the game and have experience with the editor, we'll have chemistry and can bounce off design ideas with one another. I reckon we'll work well.

I'm down to make anything for the project, but I'm oriented to health topics.

I'm in y2 and taking a level 3 language mod this sem, and I had been taking the level 1 and 2 mods since y1 sem1. Probably cuz it was a very basic level but I found them a breeze and I did pretty well. But now in level 3 the class size is much smaller and suddenly it feels like everyone is so fluent. They can all speak well and articulate their thoughts fluently, always asking questions and being participative. And here I am trying my hardest to understand half of what prof is saying, like yes I do understand but my brain feels laggy and slow and I'm struggling to articulate sometimes. Don't get me wrong but I'm still super passionate about the language but of course now it feels like I have to put in 2x more effort to study. Doesn't help that every lesson is a vocab dump.

Hi guys, im a y1 comp eng student and I’m wondering how the heck did the y2s do ts 😭.
