What abt Uni of Melbourne?
-
poly lecturers gets 40 days annual leave btw..
but the sad part is, they can't clear it all. -
It's indeed very competitive in Singapore. Feel sorry for the students who have to be under so much pressure over there.Originally posted by hisoka:forgot to add.
no offence but from my experience, unless they go to those good unis, or are those creme of the crop types, most of the sg who go aussie or elsewhere to do undergrads only, either they are poly students who are unable to get into local unis( well i won't say they are lousy since its hard to get in) and jc students who weren't able to get into local unis.
Singaporeans are living in a very stressful environment and no wonder the suicide rates (esp those at MRT) are increasing. Many people suffer from depression with no one to turn to for help.
BTW, how about NS? Do guys serve NS before or after uni? -
Sure, i agree.Originally posted by stellazio:well, dun u think the taxes are better spent on education the "increment"?
But that's a separate issue. I also think more money shd be spent to help the poor and helpless, but then, what to do?
Time to pack up. -
One of the hardest unis in Oz to get intoOriginally posted by sbst275:What abt Uni of Melbourne? -
thats why i said most. anyway that group normally go to good overseas unis or plan to. if they can't then they belong to the rejectsOriginally posted by elindra:You forgot the group that actually went to go to poly coz they already had plans to go to an overseas university and no intentions of going to the local university and see the potential of saving fees by going to poly instead of jc -
before uni but after poly/jc/ite.. only those that goes to medicine school gets to complete it after their uni i think.Originally posted by honeymouse:It's indeed very competitive in Singapore. Feel sorry for the students who have to be under so much pressure over there.

Most engineering students graduated from there are good at the theory but not so good at practical. I think it's good to be taught both theory and practical. I heard Swinburne Uni is good at that.Originally posted by elindra:One of the hardest unis in Oz to get into -
broke my arm. not a happy accident i'm afraidOriginally posted by honeymouse:What accident? -
You're from Brunei? Rich country leh...with free education, and cars on the roads that nobody steals.Originally posted by honeymouse:And some decided to stay here for good after they completed the course, like me except I'm not Singaporean. If I don't stay in Oz, I'll most likely work in Singapore as a foreign talent as there's little opportunity in Brunei.

I had a minor accident on first year of uni during the chemistry lab. I accidentally mixed Sulphuric acid to some chemical which gave a vigorous reaction. The test tube became hot and the solution started to spill over and the acid burned my fingers.
Later, I realised I had misread the label. I was supposed to use Sodium Hydroxide but took the wrong one instead. Dope!
Anyway, I was sent to the doctor and he put some cream on my fingers and wrapped them up. It was ok the next day. No scar or anything. Thank God!
