r/nus

Lost my concession card at EA, either level 1 or level 4 (04-06/lift lobby female toilet)

If someone sees please let me know 😭 I just bought the concession…

ffs just let people come out of the bus first. if it’s filled to the brim how tf are you gonna go in? especially at stops like UTown or KR MRT, the bus is going to become mostly empty since almost everyone is alighting.

you got into NUS presumably because you’re smart. use that brain when commuting as well please.

i’ve noticed it’s mostly china students not letting people alight first. someone please post this on XHS or some other china social media pls.

Hi, may I ask if anyone knows what's the fastest way to travel from Fos to FASS? I thought of taking a shuttle to CLB and walking up to FASS. However, I want to know if anyone else knows a walking shortcut I can take in case the shuttle is too full, etc. Thank you!

Edit: Thanks everyone I'm going to spend a day walking all the routes 😂

I woke up this morning excited for the opening of the UTown gym but when i walked over it was still tarped off and they just taped over the signs that said it would be open August 18th. Does anyone know if/when it’ll reopen? The USC gym is so crowded i might get a membership at a nearby gym.

hi guys, as you have seen from the title, i am extremely stressed out for SEP 😢 ..

currently my GPA is 4.07 ( yes barely a second upper :( .. ) and i am in FOS Life Sciences. i haven't really decided on where I want to go for SEP, but here are my preferences :

- UK

- Netherlands

- Germany

- Denmark

- Sweden

- any other english speaking countries that is generally safe

is there anyone with similar experiences or can advise me on what choices are safest for me / what I can consider? it would be a really great help ty ty ty

edit : im mainly worried over my GPA! safety wise i just hope i would not get robbed/shot/stabbed on the streets, i dont intend to party or stay out till late haha ty everyone for their responses!

It was so hard to find a job like I’ve been searching since last November, and I felt like I’d cast my net too wide just to get a job. Now that I’m about a month in, I’m starting to feel like I’m not really being used to my full potential. Tho tbf it has only been a month.

I thought I’d be okay with doing something about 33% related to my degree, but I’m realising I really miss creating and developing work. But I guess citizenship issues, competitiveness, less openings and lack of sufficient experience made me look for other opportunities instead.

Has anyone else felt like that since starting work?

So, Currently im a y1s1 student, and I'm contemplating which combo I should take in s2. I havent declared any second major or minor as of now, but there's a few options:
(considering I want to get into quant/computational finance/math heavy finance jobs)

Since I'm a CHS student, I cannot dual degree in any other BSc degrees.

option 1: Math primary + Econs (secondary) + quant finance(minor)
Option 2L Math primary + QF(secondary) + econs/data analytics (minor)
Option 3 : Math + CS dual degree
Option 4: Math + CS second major + qf/econs/data analytics (minor)

Workload isn't really an issue for me, I can manage taking a lot of classes.

exactly what the title says

On internship rn and applied for EG2401A tut through the email they sent out. Email said first come first serve, when the allocation came out, clearly not first come first serve. Another intern in the same work team as me applied a few days after me for the same slot as me, and he got the slot and not me.

What’s the point in saying first come first served when they’re not gonna honour it? Just remove it from the email.

Is there anything I can do about it besides appeal?

Freshie here confused how nus still has so many tourists. Who do I report them to? Can I call security?

I am graduating in 2027 and thinking of doing a part time internship in my last semester. Other than Shopee and Tiktok, what are some other companies that offer part time internship for tech roles?

I just gave my AS level exams (CAIE) , got 94 in maths, 89 in econs and 86 in further maths. I'm regiving further in order to get an A* in A2. My aim is to apply to NUS, so will this retake affect me and lower my chances of getting an offer?

I recently got safety goggles from NUS Co-op just yesterday (14 Aug) and opened then today only to see how badly scratched they are. There's also multiple small circle marks on the left side. I tried washing but the circle marks aren't going away. Didn't expect it from the store but ig cause it was around 5 dollars. I tried to check for defects but couldn't see past the packaging. I'll prob need to get a backup pair anyway but I'd rather get a better quality one. So if anyone has recommendations, that'd be great!

As the title says. I stay at Punggol, and at first I thought the commute would be manageable, but after school started I realised I have a lot of 8am lessons, and commuting to and fro school just doesn’t seem feasible in the long run - is it possible to apply to accommodations in y1s2 and if yes, which would be the best to apply for?

It might be a dumb question, but I did my undergrad at NTU where they had add/drop during first 2 weeks of classes. From what I've seen in the instructions, I am only able to drop classes currently, but still I want to check if I'm missing something and I am able to add another class.

Reason: I just went to a class today that I didn't enjoy and was hoping I can drop it and take a different one instead. However, if I am not allowed to take a different class then I'll just carry on (because I have planned for next 2 semesters already and I want to take at least 4 mods this semester)
