  There are lots of students who pass out of NUS with just third class honours or even worse, no honours. (Statistics: Just in NUS electrical engine alone, more than 60+ students grad without honours degree after studying 4 years in year 2008.) I wouldnt classify NUS as relaxing at all.

   

   

  NTU also a lot of students dropped out half way mar... its because of the students suck themselves... nothing to do with the Uni courses are hard or not ...

  Is it true that NTU engineering focus more on the technical/practical side while NUS engineering focus more on the theoretical side?

  just a strategy to attract some bright students to study in NTU.

  If not, NUS with its more stringent A level requirement would win hands down in terms of academia and NTU engineering would have become a crappy "neighbourhood" uni.

  NUS = national university of shanghai
  NTU = nanyang tiongster university ??
  
  a normal observation sees that PRCs/indians love to clap for 15-20s after every lecture. it seems that they're very grateful for their free education.
  
  local students just pack up & go once the lecturer says end.
  
  i pay 6.2k/semester. they pay zero. oh well.

  WEEeeeeeee!!!!~
  
  econs lect 4.30-6.30pm
  see you all tonight!

  welcome to NTU!

   haha. nice to see you so enthu, but i assure after a few weeks you will feel sian liao. Every morning spend so much time travelling...if you have lects in the morning.

   i think somebody mentioned that will have students sit on staircases right? Your econs is one of them, cause it's like a 'default' elective for almost all freshies. Most of them would pack the monday slot. i've seen a few instances of ppl sitting on stairs, cos into the 2nd hour, ppl will zao liao.

   but the econs lect is the only time i can see hot chicks, ya. for me is bonus, lolz. i dun wanna turn gay

   and you can drop econs if you wanna take other AHSS courses, and you can also add more electives if you think your workload is not too high.

   you went for any orientation camps????

  Yes the requirements are getting tougher...i believe from this year onwards 3As is the NORM(not the minimum)

   

  I believe I have made the right choice :D
