For those who stay in the east/take 1.5 to 2 hours to travel to school, do you regret not staying in hall? Is it very tiring, and how do you make the most out of your time?

Thinking of withdrawing from hall this sem, but I'm worried that my timetable for next sem may require me to travel to ntu 4 days a week... and it takes me close to 2 hours to travel to school

edit: Thanks for the replies! Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze my lessons into 3 days during starwars.. 🙏🙏

So I just did my SC2207 In Class Activity and there were so many cheaters, just people using their phone to cheat in the exams, I was honest so why should I be at a disadvantage. Stop cheating and be honest. At NTU online tests, it's either the website sucks or the students cheat, this time the website is very good but the students just do not care about being honest.

y1 here can someone tell me if uploading a mc for midterms is the same as uploading for short term leave? or is there like a separate procedure i need to do because this counts as an exam? pls help thanks!!!

Yes I made a complaint and I am only making this post because this is not a one off thing

I have notes of my own but they are so rabak... Having a test soon so anyone who can help is greatly appreciated!! 🙏

I am planning to join hall in the second sem, and was wondering if anyone else has similar plans.

Hi all, I know grades get moderated and cutoffs differ each semester, but for those who’ve taken SC1006, SC2001 or SC2005, roughly what mark (out of 100) ended up being the C cutoff? Even a ballpark like “mean was ~65, C was around 50” helps. Thanks!

I heard that mae mods have no bellcurve, just moderation. Is this true? How does the moderation work

juz wondering what was the average score and will they return back the paper¿

Hi I am going for exchange in UCM in Spring 2027 but from NUS. If you would like to connect and make friends before going up please drop a pm ty.

for context,

- currently year 2

- cbe with 2nd major in data analytics

- low cgpa of 3.34

- only 18au for credit transfer

I really want to go for semester exchange aka gem explorer, but I was told that lab courses cannot be included in credits transfer, which means that i will have to complete 2 lab courses either b4 or after my exchange
base on the recommended study plan, i have lab every sem and most likely would have to overload if i were to go for exchange

would like to hear from senior's advice on whether it is worth it to go for exchange and how was you journey

thank you very much

What is the average or how many percentage of students studying (assuming your entering from SP), whats the lowest GPA there? I know the next year’s GPA if im not wrong is 3.51 for the 10th percentile? and im y3 in my last sem and my cgpa is 3.41; its not as good but i really did my best, my year 1 was 2.72, 2.96 and locked full in and scored 3.8, 3.96 and 4 for my last sem (normal sem marks and not cgpa). i got awarded with edusave for Good Progress Award and another award indicating im in the top 25% of the cohort (i suppose its for last year in terms of sem gpa solely)

are there any chances i can enter… if so what are the percentage 😭 im not super confident in my current sem especially with fyp 🥹🥹😭😭

Essay, essay, essay. I pass these out every week like an extended case of bad diarrhoea. And unlike a good session on the porcelain throne, they're all done without artistry, thought, or personal satisfaction. I write on subjects I do not care about, for professors whose opinions I do not think about, only for said paper to disappear down the memory butt-hole into the sewers of history.

One wonders what the point is. At least Don Quixote had windmills to tilt at; the only thing I can tilt at in this country is my CS2 team when they force buy every round. Bah, humbug.

If yes which one is the best?

I was craving some and heard that cheers used to sell them

okay so midterm results came out and i scored 13/20 (dont know how cuz i remember being sure about a 16 but okay). The average was 11.2, inflated due to several cheaters who took advantage of the technical issues that happened at Hall N. During my lectures i genuinely feel LOST, understand nothing, and i only plan on using online sources to study now. I have about 32-33 days before my final. My class part also would be ass, because I hardly ever participate in it. Can I expect an A- at least? I dont wanna FGO as it is my second major. I dont have a lot of pre-existing financial knowledge as I have never studied economics related subjects ever. If anyone can help me with strats for Finals etc, it would be very helpful! Thankss :D

Hi! We are a group of 6 CC6 students working on our project on whether preordering will help canteen vendors reduce food waste!

Any miracle story from the seniors🙏

hi guys for context i secured NTU DDP in computer engineering (com eng) and biz and will matriculate in 2028 after serving NS. i applied to NUS for a similar DDP but my A lvl results weren't stellar enough (AAA/A + GP C). i did get offered NUS com eng but i ultimately chose the NTU DDP instead, lowk regret this decision after hearing abt the much more intense workload so i plan to reapply to NUS for double major in cs/com eng and biz next year.

after doing some research and going for both uni's open houses, my current understanding (not sure if right or not) is:

1. this NTU DDP has the best stats amongst the big 3’s 2025 GESs aside from med & law (highest response rate, % in full-time employment and stats for basic and gross monthly salaries)

2. NTU DDPs have 180 AUs, a lot more compared to single degree programme (120 AUs) and double major (150 AUs), has little flexibility for unrestricted elective modules

3. NUS double major has 160 units, same as single degree programme

4. all the above-mentioned programmes take 4 years, though this specific NTU DDP is accelerated

5. NUS hall much more competitive than NTU hall

what im unclear about is:

1. how demanding is the workload for NTU DDP compared to NUS/NTU double major, especially since this specific DDP is accelerated?

2. how advantageous is this DDP compared to a similar double major in terms of career prospects?

3. where do those in the 75th percentile of gross monthly salaries for the DDP usually get hired at?

4. how affected are the other aspects of uni life with this DDP? (hall, CCA, interest projects etc)

5. heard this DDP is integrated, what does it mean exactly?

6. am I asking the right questions? what else should I take note of?

hope to hear from those who are currently studying or graduated from any of the above degree programmes, or know about people who do

Hey just wondering if it’s just me but I’ve been feeling lost in life lately. I’m a PHMS student from SPMS and I feel like I have completely 0 idea on what I wanna do in life. So, I went to the career coach to clarify possible career choices but instead he just spent the whole session talking about the importance of python and coding and now I’m even more confused and unsure. I have to do my PA during next year’s summer break and the pressure’s mounting along with the stress from coursework and midterms and I have no idea where to start or what to do. Any advice?

Got a spooky auto-generated email the moment my SC1001 lab ended that I'd missed it and I must give a Medical certificate by next week. Do I just ignore it (my attendance was 100% before this).

I’ve been accepted into NTU’s MSc in Civil Engineering (coursework), but I’m still unsure if it’s worth the investment.
My goal is to work abroad for a few years, gain experience, and eventually use it back in my home country.
I’m also considering a two-year master’s in Thailand with a scholarship, so I’m torn between that and NTU’s one-year programme with much higher tuition fees.

Part of me prefers NTU because I want to step out of my comfort zone, experience a new environment, and hopefully improve my chances of finding a job in Singapore or eventually another English-speaking country. However, I’ve also seen some students saying that NTU’s MSc is overpriced and not worth it, which makes me even more uncertain.

I’m planning to look for a civil engineering-related internship or part-time job (16 hr/week) while studying to maximize the chances of me getting the job after graduation, but I’m not sure how realistic that is for international students.

Honestly, I’ve been going back and forth on this decision for the past few weeks, so I finally decided to ask here. I’m wondering if the degree is worth the cost, how difficult it is for international students to find civil engineering jobs in Singapore after graduation, and whether it’s realistic to find a relevant internship or part-time job while studying.
Or should i just choose to study in Thai with scholarship.

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. This is my first time posting, so apologies if I get anything wrong or unintentionally offend anyone. I don’t mean to. Thanks!

Hi! I'm currently working on a feature story for a class assignment about accessibility features for wheelchair users in North Spine and South Spine. If you are a wheelchair user/used to use a wheelchair and wouldn't mind sharing your experience using these accessible features or talking about accessibility in the academic buildings, I would really appreciate it if we could have a chat!
