hi guys i need some advice, during y1 i struggled with loneliness and mental health issues and i shared it with my parents. i didn’t have any friends and i felt like my whole uni life would be miserable. they said they can let me stay on campus next sem, but im scared that everyone there already knows each other and ill be left out cuz im joining as a y2. i also dont know if there’s still slots in sem 2. should i try to go for sep instead or will it be way too expensive 😭😭

Hello, I'm a student in the UK and my dream is to study at NUS. I have seen posts on here from other UK applicants with people asking why they want to go to NUS and not a UK university, and for me it's just that I want to escape the UK life and go back to a familiar setting (half Malaysian, so Singapura macam adik, and can visit family back in Malaysia), as well as the school's mechanical engineering program being ranked QS3 in the world.

Point aside, there is very minimal information on how to get into NUS based off of the website alone. Does the university look mainly for perfect grades, or do they prefer curricular activities etc? Also, how can a candidate make themselves stand out for a chance at getting a scholarship?

Thank you.

hi. is there a way that i can rent an NUS room for a markup price for Q1-Q2? i think its more competitive to get a room in NUS than NTU which is where im from? but figured i should try my luck

context: am student from NTU doing PI at a company very close to NUS campus (Science Park, specifically PGP). want to lower the travel distance

Hello everyone! We are a pair of students from NTU conducting a 5-10 minute survey about buy now pay later (BNPL) use in online shopping for our HW0208 module (academic communication in the social sciences), and we would really appreciate it if you could help us with it :)))

Thank you so much!!

willing to help w your surveys too!

A group of girls sitting on the last row in the LT17 lecture hall were laughing while the professor was talking about his dead grandfather. Embarrasing behaviour! If you don't want to come to class don't come. You know who you are and you should be ashamed.

Yr1 eng student here, currently having a few lab sessions with a fixed group. Since the 2nd time working with this grp, I alr had a strong feeling that there’s a girl in my grp who doesn’t seem to like me.
Every time I give a suggestion or do smth, she will immediately jump in and tell me that I’m doing things wrongly or disagree with my ideas. Yet most of the time, I’m actually doing the right thing, and sometimes the grp even ends up going with my decision.
And smth happened yesterday that really discouraged me. She changed a whole part of my written report and replaced it with hers, but what she did was actually the same as what I had done, which was finding sources and citing them. I pm-ed her about it, but her replies were quite cold, and idk what else to say.
Some might ask why I chose to group with her in the first place. It’s coz I didn’t know anyone in my course, so I just randomly joined a grp that needed more ppl. Before I joined, I think they were alr pretty good friends with each other.
I’ve had some negative experiences with group settings in the past, which is part of the reason that led me to taking regular medication for years. Because of that, I feel quite uncomfortable and anxious whenever I have to work with her. But at the same time, there’s no obvious sign or solid evidence that I can use to say she actually dislikes me. It might just be me overthinking, but the way she treats me really makes me feel discouraged and uncomfortable.
Idk how to deal with this situation, especially since we still have to work together for the remaining lab sessions. :(

hi freshie here trying to figure out how i’m gonna get graded. are all the mods here bellcurved? what % or mark safely guarantees an A? if your marks for an assignment is like the average marks the class gets does the average mark typically get awarded a B? i’m lowkey confused since there appears to be no threshold or fixed range to get a certain letter grade

Imagine pulling all-nighters just trying to get an A, only to end up with a B because of the bell curve.
Then you start applying for jobs, and employers don’t actually give a shit about your grades. They tell you, “The knowledge you learned at university isn’t really transferable to the workplace. We need someone with at least 3 years of work experience.”
Alright, fair enough. You realise that grades alone aren’t enough, so you start grinding even harder.
Fast forward 3 years. You’ve graduated with first-class honours, completed 3 internships, joined a bunch of extracurricular activities, and somehow managed to maintain a decent social life (or maybe not).
You think you’re finally ready for the job market.
But guess what? ChatGPT 8.0 just dropped.
Now employers are telling you, “Sorry, we don’t really hire fresh graduates anymore. Most of our junior positions have been automated by AI. We’re looking for experienced professionals instead.”
So how the hell are we supposed to gain experience when nobody wants to hire people without experience?
Universities tell you to focus on your GPA. Employers tell you your GPA doesn’t matter. Career advisors tell you to do internships. Internships ask for previous internship experience.
And just when you finally meet all their requirements, the requirements change again.
The funniest part? You’re paying tens of thousands of dollars in tuition fees for the privilege of participating in this endless competition.
Everyone tells you to work harder, be more competitive, learn more skills, get better grades, network more, and somehow stand out from thousands of other students who are doing exactly the same thing.
It’s literally an arms race where everyone keeps investing more time, money, and effort, but the reward at the end doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
I’m not saying education is completely worthless. But at what point did a university degree go from being a pathway to a decent career to becoming the bare minimum requirement just to get your foot in the door?
Are we actually studying to build a better future, or are we just running faster and faster on a treadmill that’s going nowhere?

Hey. Just curious on several things about cs focus area here.

Will the completed focus areas be shown in the transcript?

Is it possible to add new focus areas beyond the 5th semesters?

Yo what this guy doing here

Hey there! I am just another bored Singaporean that has personally felt that the latest shift in government message to 24h PSI and 1h PM2.5 has unintentionally deflated the raw numbers we have been observing daily, and has also just been a bit disorienting for those of us that grew up with our old 3h PSI numbers throughout the mid 2010s haze period.

Thus, I just made a small project that does the following:

1. Bring back the 3h PSI as an indicator that can be viewed (using the old 3h PSI formula based off on PM2.5 concentration)
   
2. Adding a 1h PSI indicator (which converts the 1h PM2.5 into our PSI scale, as I feel the PM2.5 scale is frankly quite confusing with weird bandings)
   
3. Draws directly from the NEA API which allows it to be updated quicker than the official NEA haze site.
   
4. Has a not-so-fun conversion of our haze into equivalent cigarettes smoke daily

I would love to get more feedback on possible functionalities, and hopefully this helps you with clarity as much as it has done for me!

any seniors have tips on how to approach the final project…. I genuinely have no idea how to start

Could not find any info on it online. Wondering what other people's outcomes are so far.

As an NUS alumni are we able to access past courses or lectures that we did on Canvas? Was a bit curious about this.

Hey, any seniors that has gone for self-sourced internship for SIP/ATAP, please do help me.

So I have applied for a self-sourced internship under ATAP on TalentConnect, and I have gotten it approved. However, I did not get any letter of sorts which the company is requesting for. I emailed [talentconnect@nus.edu.sg](mailto:talentconnect@nus.edu.sg), and I just had a automated email asking me to wait 1-3 working days to get back to me. However, it has been a week and I have not received any reply. What should I do? I cannot find any other contact to use.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello. I am a NUS Master's student taking Marketing Analytics and Insights at school of Business taking a course in marketing strategy. I am currently doing a project on ergonomic furniture in Singapore. If you have lived in Singapore for some time and spend most of your day sitting, it would be appreciated if you could help my project group with a survey! We were hoping we could get more responses by sharing it on Reddit.

Midterms have finally flown by. From these past few weeks, I think I have learnt two things about myself:

1. My efforts are not worth any results.

2. I am unwanted everywhere.

For the first point, out of my three midterms, the one I studied/prepared for the most (by an enormous margin), I believe I failed spectacularly. It really feels as if the pain that I go through every day to get better at this godforsaken subject likes to laugh at me from afar. But sure, first midterm, a lot of people have problems then, failure is not uncommon, sure. I'll let this one slide.

I think the second point is a lot more demoralising. As I live on one of the campus residences, cliques of people have been forming left and right. One of those cliques happens to be made of all the people on my floor. At first, I was part of it. I technically still am part of it now, but I really feel like they're trying to oust me (which is fair, I don't follow the mainstream, so I can't relate to a lot of the random pop culture they consume, and I do have my bad points; I'm trying to fix them, but I get that they're still there and annoying ppl). But holy shit please for the love of all that is holy just say it to my face straight. I swear the people here are a bunch of fucking cowards, those who hate you never want to admit it, those who'd rather you die will never say it aloud. The worst part is that everywhere I go, the people I hang out with occasionally are already part of their own groups, and I'm just floating between friend groups as the person who gets ignored and left out of plans. That's so damn fun, yall should try it sometime!

If I do end myself, I have but one wish to everyone that I've ever known herefrom:

Please don't commit suicide. I want to neither meet you nor see your unsightly face when I burn in hell.

So yeah, I think it's reasonable to conclude that I just suck and am a horrible person who deserves nothing good in this fuckass world.

But for those who have bothered reading this far, I hope you have an okay/good day ahead. If you're also struggling, I hope you find your solution soon. I'm not sure what flair to tag this post as, so if you have any advice for this horrible person, please share. I'll probably delete this post after an hour or two, depending on whether I calm down.

Currently in the midst of CDE SEP application period, and I'm thinking of exchanging to Japan. I have some concerns though, namely:

Can I map over any core mods? I know english language medium classes are in short supply.

Which Japanese unis can I realistically try for with a GPA of 4.3-4.4?

Their academic semesters begin in April/October, will this cause any clashes?

If there's any seniors out there who have SEP'ed to Japan before, I would love to hear from you!
