Dm so I can add (We are 5 rn 😭)

Got into both BNU and FCCU for BBA, need real advice from people actually there

Got admitted to both BNU and FCCU for BBA Hons, fees work out pretty similar once everything's added up. Trying to make a real decision here.

Quick context on me: I already do a remort job, so flexibility to keep working during the semester matters a lot to me. I also care about actually having a social life, not just grinding books for four years.

Things I keep going back and forth on:

• How strict is attendance in practice, not just what the handbook says. Can you actually skip a class or two for something urgent without it wrecking you
• How brutal is the relative grading really, especially in business core courses
• Is campus life actually dead or does it depend entirely on your friend group like I keep hearing
• Anyone running a business or doing serious freelance work while enrolled, how'd you make it work
• If you got into both and picked one, would you pick the same one again

I applied for bba I think I can easly score 50/60 marks in the test and interview went will as well.

Cuz I ain't getting into lse and Fccu 😭....

hay everyone. Quick background: I’m 19, based in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I run a video editing / YouTube automation agency have 2-3 international clients right now. It covers my bills, but it’s not scaling the way I want, and I don’t see it as a long-term ceiling I’m happy with.
So I’ve started learning to code. Right now I’m building an app (a habit tracker where users stake real money on their check-ins) using React Native/Expo, learning JavaScript fundamentals alongside it, and leaning on AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) cuz its the meta ig. while I actually understand what’s happening under the hood not just copy-pasting.
A few things I’d love honest opinions on, no sugarcoating: 1. Scope and future of programming/dev work with AI tools getting this capable, is learning to code from scratch in 2026 still worth it for someone starting where I am? Or is the value shifting somewhere else (e.g., knowing how to direct AI tools well vs. deep manual coding skill)? 2. Remote jobs from Pakistan realistically, how hard is it to land a remote dev job (even junior/entry-level) living in Pakistan? Is there a meaningful disadvantage from location alone, separate from skill level? Given Ik good english and meet with clients regularly 3. The “vibe coding” wave I’ve seen a ton of people on Instagram shipping websites/apps built almost entirely with AI (“vibe coding”). I’m curious how real that path is as a business model vs. hype, and whether it’s a legit way to build something on the side while I keep learning fundamentals properly.
Marketing as the bottleneck I’ve read that most indie devs/founders (the number I’ve seen floated is something like 90%+ of small projects, not literally “400 developers”) don’t fail because the product is bad, they fail because they can’t market it. I’ve got 2 years of video editing experience and I already run an agency so content, hooks, and short-form marketing are things I can actually do. Does having that skill set make the “build small apps and sell them” path more realistic for someone like me? 5. Realistic timeline if my target is something modest to start say a $1,000–$1,500/month remote job (junior/entry-level, not senior Fahh money) what would you actually prioritize learning, and how long is that realistically going to take someone starting from near-zero coding but with real business/client-facing experience already?

Not looking for hype or “just grind brothaand you’ll make it” I want the blunt, real answer, including if you think this is a bad plan. I herd to tiktok cluely founder said any one can land a job just do 300 lee code questions and some mid level personal projects idk what lee code is.

Considering a good dj controler is around100,000 is it worth it to spend 6-9 months learning and spending that much ?

I am a uni student would like aome advice
