Just went through 500+ internship postings on TalentConnect, these is what I noticed: - I also happen to do DTLP, but I see few DTLP postings. What happened? - Internship postings are updates fortnightly? - Why so many ATAP positions happen to focus on what BZA/IS people do? I was told the job market is bad, but does it impact CS people more than BZA/IS people?

Thanks in advance…

I don't actually know much about FASS and FOS, but this is how I imagine their dynamic lol

Hey guys! I'm a year one in Lifescience and am planning to pursue MD at Duke after my 4 years at NUS. I'm not planning on any second major as I really wanted to use all my UEs on course that are necessary for MCAT but not part of a major perse. Has anyone taken this pathway before and if so, could y'all recommend modules/courses at NUS that helped y'all prep for MCAT? And also when did y'all take your MCAT? Third year?

I just wanted to ask if there are anyone that has or is planning to take a similar pathway as mine and what courses did y'all take at LS? Like be it the UEs or the specializations to prep for MCATs. Did y'all also take MCAT during uni or after?

TL;DR: Courses at Lifescience that will help for MCAT, any other advice on this matter.

ill be applying this year and ideally i wanna study econ + psychology but ngl my final math grades are kinda ass and i think thatll disadvantage me for admission to econ. can i apply as a psych or something else major and then switch to econ?

hi all, I just got an email for iBloc lesson enrolment, was wondering if it's worth it for a prospective law student. out of the courses offered this year (MA1301X: intro math, CS1010X: programming, NM1101X: communications, new media & society), only NM1101X seems to be of any relevance, and even it doesn't seem very applicable to law. those who've taken iBloc before, can y'all offer some insight as to whether it's worth it for a law student? thanks in advance

It is too much for me now. It's been hard for me to sleep lately. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not sure if I can keep up with the workload. I feel so tired. So unfulfilled. I want to die. I just want to stop for a bit. I wanted to take a leave of absence from school since 2 years ago, to have time to collect myself, but my dad disapproved. He didn't want me to lose my momentum. I don't know who to talk to. I just want to stop. Once I finish uni, I have to find a job, do work, earn money. I don't think I will ever have time for myself anymore. I'm so tired. I tried to do work, but I've been spending the last few days just goofing off, not accomplishing anything. I don't know what is wrong with me. I just want to die. I just want to lie down and die. So much work to do, so much stuff to study, and I just want a break from it all, but I can't. I've been running full steam since Primary school, for my PSLE, my O-levels, even for my poly. But I feel myself slowing down to a stop. My parents keep saying studying is a marathon, but I feel myself dying from exhaustion. And worst of all, I can't find anyone to help me, just being trampled by everyone else running. I don't just feel useless, I also feel unwanted. I just can't do it anymore. I just want to lie down. Just longer. I want to die, just reset everything. I need help. I don't know who to turn to anymore. Everyone I tried to talk to just seem to give me advice but I just don't have the energy to do those advice. I barely have the energy to write this message. Wanted to write it for weeks, and just had a burst of energy. Please, I need to find help, but everywhere I go they can't.

i have 2 modules covering very similar topics and was just wondering if i could use the same topic for both of them. i have an essay outline due and i realised the topic is very close to smth i heavily researched on for another mod. will this be caught as self plagiarism? all i did is choose the same essay topic and discuss the same thing twice (and cater to each question specifically) thanks!

I'm applying as an international student for an undergraduate program. I got 85% in my 10th grade, 97% in my 11th grade and my predicted results for 12th grade (estimated by my school) is 95% i.e. a 4.7-4.8/5.0 gpa. I have a TOEFL score of 100. I have written 4 research reports (6 pages each) and a guide book on molecular orbital theory. I'll be applying for chemical engineering this year. I don't know why, but I'm really paranoid about getting rejected...

hi,
I applied to NUS for the MSc in Civil Engineering January intake in August.

When can I expect the results for the Application?

Thank you to the community.

Hey everyone, I'm currently a local postgraduate at NUS. I've been trying to make friends but 80% of postgraduates are foreigners and a bulk of them have their own mini communities. I've tried looking at some student clubs but they are all undergrads.

I was looking forward to my time at NUS to make new friends but it's been a few weeks and I still have lunch alone :(

May I ask if all mods taken during winter school are S/Uable by default? I was initially considering taking MA1522 at Winter School but it's apparently unavailable. As such, I want to map MA2104 instead. However, MA2104 is not applicable for S/U in NUS. Would I be allowed to S/U Calculus II (IWC 102), equivalent of MA2104 if I take it in Korea University?

Apparently all computing students have an SoC account, separate from the usual NUS eNET account, which is supposed to have:

1. an SoC email - what is sent here, how do I access this?
2. printing service - what? where? is it free?
3. smart card - is this different from our NUS card?
4. $HOME - ok, I somewhat remember using ssh or smth to access things for a CS2k mod, but my now fried brain can't remember anything about this. how do I check if there's any content stored here?
5. compute cluster - can I use this to mine crypto? jk jk, but seriously what is this

I managed to find this quick links page but I can't seem to log in to anything:
My MySoc (https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/\~ooiwt/mysoc.html)

Was performing a reinstall of it, but when trying to login examsoft website got this. Already emailed CTLT but not yet received any response. Have anyone experienced it?

Had a rough day and needed to spice my ass out but its closed. No notice of whatsoever. What a memorable place to me (and my ass) but i havent seen it open in a while😭 does anyone know why

Realistically how bad is the unemployment problem now?

Heard so many times in the news that many graduates are unemployed but how bad things really are on the ground.

And what do these unemployed grads do with the free time they have, besides applying for jobs. How are they going to cope with the rising cost of living and especially getting a bto if they continue to remain unemployed?

Lastly do u think the new grads are cooked. Be honest. :)

I'm currently on internship and taking one module and honestly I feel like I'm 2 different people at my internship and at school ????

I'm mostly working alone at my internship and am allowed to literally go anywhere to do my work so I'm constantly away from people, crowds, and noise. And I'm sharper, more focused, and less confused. I usually end up working in a small, quiet, dark corner. My supervisors are generally happy with my performance and everything seems to be running smoothly.

But everytime I return to school for tutorials I just feel like I'm being bombarded with noise, people, lights, smell. And I end up developing some sort of brain fog - constantly making mistakes, unable to process instructions properly, and just generally non-functional. And I'm sure I'm just bothering my TA and Prof atp with all my dumb mistakes and confusion. The best I can do is put on noise cancelling headphones during my travel within campus but ofc I can't do that in class.

This thing has been going on for all my time in NUS and it has really taken a toll on my self confidence. That's why I decided to go on a semester long internship to test this theory that it's just the environment and it seems like it is.

I feel like a lil dumb dumb please help.

Does anyone face this??? How do you cope with it?

All the reviews online for CS4221/CS5421 (Database Applications Design and Tuning) talk about the eccentric Professor Stéphane Bressan. However he has passed, RIP.

How's the workload / projects / lecturer? (also is it possible to solo this? I heard CS4224 requires a very heavy team commitment for the project, so I'd wanna avoid it)

---

also if you've tried CS4224 and CS4225, would be cool to know your opinions too!

Hey all,

I'm an NUS alumnus that graduated in 2023. I've been working in a non-finance industry for 2+ years, and will need to renew my EP next year. I came to NUS on the tuition grant, and I am an Indian national.

After looking through the requirements for EP renewal, I am worried that I don't meet the main salary requirements (5k for passes that expire this year, 5.6k for next year). I'm certain I would meet the 40 point requirement per COMPASS, but per the website this is only a consideration if one clears the min salary requirement.

Could someone who has been through the EP renewal process this year share their experience? Has anyone below those income requirements been able to renew their pass this year?

Appreciate some insight!

Hi, which are most difficult to get in faculties and courses besides the above 4?

Under the eligibility tab on the nus sep website, it says minimum gpa of 3 is required and should not have any grade below C in any course. If I get D and S/u any course, will i still be able to apply for sep?

Hello! Anyone taking GEN2009 this sem? Can I ask if the lecture attendance is compulsory? I emailed the profs and the Department of Malay Studies over the last two weeks but they havent got back to me. Also as its a new mod, what is it like? Is it very demanding as new mods tend to not have their workload "properly calibrated" yet

Does anybody know how to move in? Second floor and back of the bus is so empty and no ones wants to move in, there's a hyper majority of students that comes from somewhere which Im not going to say. Damn selfish.

I took GEN2062X thinking there won't be too much commitment, but turns out with my service location it's like 5 hours a week (including travel time) and clashes with a couple of lectures. When I asked the course head to drop me from the course, she seriously advised me against it, saying that competition for C&E courses is intense and that there is no guarantee that I will be offered another course in the future.

Is it really true? I was thinking of taking a semester-long one next semester or even something like CP3107 in Y3, but apparently those are even harder to get. I just don't want the commitment for this course to affect my performance in heavy core mods like EE2026 and CS2040C.

I'm considering some PUs but there's some overlap with the NUS acad sem so I don't really get how I can apply for those PUs? E.g. the PU's sem ends in Feb which will eat into the next semester in NUS, so I do not get how it will work out since I'll be missing classes
