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.

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.

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 😭. We have a quiz soon consisting of ch1 and 2 content ( excluding 2.6 ) and even with ch1, when i try to redo my tutorials, i still get stuck…i read and like spoke out the stuff in ch1 ( not ch2 yet, i wanted my foundation to be good ) but its already week 4 and i feel like i’m falling behind bad. People around me say they dont know whats going on but somehow come up with the answers. Lowk im js not smart atp :/

I wanted to ask, for those who got A/A+ for this module, what exactly did yall do to get ahead of everyone else? Pls this is very important

I am not looking for typical stories like “ I was in army and this door opened by itself” or “I heard cries coming from that empty deserted toilet in school” because these have already been covered countless times in other Reddit sg posts.

No, I’m looking for bizarre coincidences or patterns you personally encounter that have NOTHING TO DO WITH GHOST OR SEVENTH MONTH. Like, every single time you listen to a particular song/eat a particular food/ ask a particular question/ wear a particular piece of clothing then either your luck will get unnaturally good or unnaturally bad.

Ok this is hard to phrase clearly, let me share some “how could they have found out or known???” Incidents in sg, I’m curious to see if anyone else experienced something similar

🍀a senior from my school started asking me out saying that he really wants a girlfriend. When I told my classmate (in person) about this, she was shocked to tell me that the same senior confessed to her too using the same lines. That’s not the spooky part. The truly creepy part is, the very next day, this senior said “I see that you’ve been taking to (classmate name) about me.” Holy cow, unless he puts a voice recorder inside my bag, HOW COULD HE HAVE KNOWN?

🍀there has been a lot of times where I think of a rare concept or a rare word like “ my water bottle fell to the ground and it broke” completely in silence, and the passenger sitting beside me will talk out loud about how his water bottle also fell to the ground and also broke, in the exact same sequence of words I recite silently in my head.

🍀 my distant cousin has been a corn addict for quite long. Once he stopped for a few days at home and the girl of his dreams agreed to go out with him in school, Not knowing about his habits, he relapsed again and the same girl suddenly sneered and said she doesn’t want to go anymore. He stopped again for 3 days and the very same girl said, don’t listen to her clique of popular snobbish friends, she’s willling to go. How could she have known about the corn? Does the universe really make people kinder and circumstances better when you stay away from corn?

🍀 there are some songs which are played in public and I really don’t know that they have any demonic powers I just treat them as nice songs to listen on to go. Now this is where it gets downright creepy.

Whenever i listen to a particular set of songs, my luck feels like someone outside the matrix controlled it and it all goes downhill, not ordinary bad luck we encounter on a day to day basis but super weird things happen. Eg,appointments which are set in stone suddenly get cancelled for no reason, friend who has been chatting with me online suddenly goes very cold or monosyllabic as if I did something to upset her, clients come up with unusual reasons to not continue, every single time i miss the bus/train for one second, hawker centre owner gets my order wrong and gives me something I don’t like, parents who have been super cordial and supportive suddenly find fault with a small thing they don’t like

Then whenever I don listen to these songs but listen to something else entirely, the matrix is powered by something good as if a religious entity is rewarding me for “not listening” I feel like I’m inside a matrix where it’s not me, it’s SOMETHING ELSE ALTOGETHER controlling my fate. Like, random old friends pop out of nowhere to check in on me, friends start texting first, and with warmth, running into old classmates everywhere who want to take photo with me because they’re so happy to see me, client referrals start springing out of nowhere, complete strangers like hawker centre auntie smiling broadly at me as if I did something right. (I didn’t do anything before I met them, I just didn’t listen to these songs)

🍀 sometimes I sing and my song recordings on social media. I realised that EVERY TIME I talk to others about something completely common like a birthday party (not this, censored to protect my privacy) the number of negative comments from other people following me would increase. If I just go about my day as normal, then I would get positive comments instead.

🍀 as a rebellious teenager who tries to be a good model student, I am always obedient and guai in front of my parents who teach me to spend money only on the right stuff and not waste money on Starbucks, bubble tea, designer clothes and bags. Yes, they taught me well by telling me to save money and not waste. One day, during a lunch break, i told my friend out loud how i want to spend money on these things also and not save frugally. This was in Bugis.

That very same night as i went back to my far flung neighbourhood, my parents randomly out of the blue said how come nowadays young people don’t appreciate how much their parents care about them and sacrifice for them, how come people spend money on expensive restaurant meals instead of hawker food. This has never been discussed at home for the past 2 decades of my life when i did not tell others about this. Only that day.

And no, my parents don’t even have a smartphone. The only electronic device they use is the television and the microwave. HOW COULD THEY HAVE KNOWN UNLESS THEY PLANTED A MICROCHIP INSIDE MY BAG.?! And no, I from low income family. GOT SUCH BUDGET???

Research Fellow at NUS – salary, benefits & contract length?
Hi everyone! I’m curious about what it’s like working as a Research Fellow at NUS, particularly in health-related research areas (public health, clinical/health sciences, etc.).
Does anyone know the typical salary range for a Research Fellow? Are there additional benefits or allowances on top of the salary? Also, how long are Research Fellow contracts usually offered for—1 year, 2 years, or longer?
Would especially appreciate experiences from people working across different health research domains at NUS. Thanks!

hi everyone, was wondering if there’s any chance a pleb like me can get a spot in europe? rough info: CS student, second class uppers (on the lower side) looking at france, norway, iceland, netherlands, ireland. Thank you all very much!

I cant decide between these two. I like tech and dentistry but CS is looking pretty cooked rn so I'm hesitant on choosing it. Pretty much the only thing stopping me from instantly choosing dentistry is the fees. Even if I go the absolute cheapest route and get a bachelors in a regional university its still about 400k aud which is pretty expensive for me. Also I've heard that dentistry is saturated in urban areas so I'll have to go regional/rural, call me soft but I'm an urbanite I don't know if I can handle living in a rural-ish area.

And no, studying dentistry in sg is not an option for me. And no, I'm not gonna consider any other healthcare jobs other than dentistry for a lot of reasons (mostly for the work life balance)

Anyone applied or went for this 2 week December internship in Vietnam or Thailand before? I plan to apply but im not sure if it is worth it since you cannot really do or learn much in 2 weeks.

Please share about your experience. Is it a competitive programme to get in?

Apart from the spaces that require booking, is it a free for all?

Just walk in and tap your student card at the gantry?

Those virtual tours aren’t that helpful.

I'm not sure if it is against the rules. Please let me know if it is. To be safe, I'll also not mention which department to just get a general idea about the interview

I’m joining Software Engineering at NUST SEECS next week. Is it realistic to get international research opportunities by reaching out to PhD students/professors abroad? What’s the best way to approach them? Also, any NUST SEECS-specific advice for getting into research would be appreciated. I’m aiming for MITACS eventually.

This is the worst thing in NUS, this single thing here is the bane of my existence. Solely because of this I am seriously deciding whether to stay another semester in school. Why does this exist, WHY are there no alternatives, YES i do have a shitty android, but it's NFC has NEVER failed me at a paywave transaction or tapping into public transportation for the past 3 years of me owning this phone, yet this obsolete machinery stands to guard my entrance EVERYWHERE. Can you imagine needing to go to the toilet IMMEDIATELY, and you need to pull out your phone, wait for the mobile key app to load THEN the door unlocks, this process is minimally 20-30 seconds assuming success in the FIRST TRY, a lot of things can happen in 30 seconds. I just spent 20 minutes trapped in my stair corridor, because i could not access this relic of technology. I did everything I could, restarting the app, changing phone placements, phone orientation, angle of placement, all xyz axis changed, restarting my phone, changing from data to school wifi vice-versa and even turning on and off my NFC. NOTHING worked, the system flashes green and stops. AND what makes this even worse is that when my neighbor finally came to my rescue (thankfully) and we tested the door again, it miraculously works again. This either has to be divine intervention or systemic oppression. WHY in the world were my past 20 minutes of effort in vain? I was absolutely torn apart by mosquitoes seeking refuge from the rain during this process. I despise this system and I pray for a day where NUS just offers a system where you can opt to just use a card instead like NUSC. Because, clearly they can. I hate the mobile key, I hate this door lock and I hate the fact that now I have to suffer the consequences of some perverts in PGP who no longer reside here anymore. Please revamp thanks 🙏 I can't be the only one who despises this door lock😭

As title suggests. Anyone knows who is selling/where to get a 2nd hand one?

Recently... I feel so pressured by all the quests and missions given. There's like too much hw in this course. Even though quests are not compulsory, but I always feel the urge to do it since it gives more XP... but after spending hours doing a quest, I am still not getting the correct result.... Seeing so much time dumped into this, yet no results, I feel so upset... just venting my feelings here since no one around me actually can relate with me...

thank you guys for seeing this

Late for the early bird registration. Does anyone as me still interested in forming a team instead of soloing?

Hii I'm an international graduate from NUS 2026 and I'm having a hard time finding jobs in Singapore. I didn't sign the bond so atleast I don't have to worry about fulfilling it.

Anyone went to European countries (non-UK) to work or pursue a masters? I'm wondering if NUS degree translates to anything in the European market for jobs.
IS pursuing a masters in Europe worth it after graduating from NUS? My main goal would be to find a job there. (I really don't want to work back in my home country)

Thanks!

it’s currently week 3 of the semester and i’m seriously burnt out. i was supposed to get into fass, but i was unfortunately thrown into nus ise cus i didnt meet the cut off point.

coming from poly, i’m currently in year 1 and was able to cope for the first week or so, until the pace became too fast. having only an o-level background in elective physics and surface-level additional mathematics (which i scored c6), i’m starting to feel really left behind compared to my peers. concepts that they can understand within seconds can take me hours to absorb. tutorial questions have become impossible for me to solve unless i have close guidance from ai or by religiously watching lectures and videos from the organic chemistry tutor on youtube, which takes me several hours. i’ve tried different study methods like the pomodoro technique, but they haven't worked well for me.

this has led to another problem: neglecting other essential modules like cs1010e. i tried my best to manage my time by allocating 3-4 hours onto my weaker modules like pc1201, but sometimes, i tend to forget that other modules are also as important, since i need more time to process information. my goal is to at least score a B- to B average for all my modules at this point 😕

right now, i’m contemplating applying for an internal transfer to another fass course since i have stronger interest in that field rather than ISE, though i highly doubt it's possible.

at this point, does anyone have success stories of braving through nus cde with barely any physics or amath background? also, does anyone have alternative study method suggestions? 😢🙏🏼 i need a strong motivation right now to get my momentum back 😔😔😔

Hey! I'm a European student considering applying for an exchange semester through my school.

Would anyone be able to help me out with some of these questions?

I am studying mathematics, going into my 4th semester in my bachelors this spring. I'd like to take subjects such as real analysis, abstract algebra etc. 

1. Do you have small math classes? (under 30 people in the room) If so, which ones?
2. Is any academic help available? For instance: sessions where PhD students help us with questions about problem sets. If so, are these 1 or more times weekly?

Edit: I did see something called tutorials. But can you go to both TUT 1 and TUT 2 to get more help, and how does it work, is it another place you 'perform' through discussions etc., or is it more like everyone sits working by themselves in a room and you raise your hand to get help by the TA?

Edit: also, in general, how is the helping eachother culture in math? Is it common to ask classmates to help you out in breaks? Or just your close friends? Or even that?

3.Are some classes interactive? Do some professors ask students to provide their answer to some questions before lecturing the answer themselves?

4..Is graded assessment continuous, like for instance weekly graded problem sets, or just 1-2 monitored exams in the semester?

Edit: if things depend, any specific examples/courses help:)

Would appreciate any pointers!
