Hello NUS students! I have always been wanted to post my modules review. The thoughts were always there but the actions were never there. FINALLY, I get started. Let me introduce myself a little... I am a lady, I enrolled in NUS's faculty of arts and social sciences in year 2013 (AY2013/2014 badge), I was age 19 then. Before I accepted NUS's offer I already wanted to take Psychology as my major. I feel that I am more towards a Science student rather than Arts student. Science subjects have always been interesting to me, and Arts subjects usually caused me to fall asleep. Therefore, to fulfil some of the fass requirements, means that I have to take Arts subjects which I dreaded to :( I would prefer not to review myself ;)
I have some advice for the freshmen!
1. Join camps before school start, especially the camps from your faculty, to make more friends and they could be your friends and buddy during lessons. If not, school's life could be very lonely.
2. Read up the requirements for your intended major.
Curriculum Structure and Graduation Requirements http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/faculty-arts-social-sciences/curriculum-structure-and-graduation-requirements
On the left hand side, you can click on your specific faculty for more information.
3. Join the societies. E.g. If I major in Psychology, I join Psychology Society. Just by paying $5, you get to be updated on information that is relevant to your specialisation and also Welfare Packs when the finals are nearing!
4. Join CCAs. This will be the last opportunity for us to still enjoy the freedom that a student have and to get to learn as many stuffs as we can for almost free-or-charge. It is not all about academics! Go ahead and widen your social circle and learn new things. You may be amazed by what you can do.
5. Do a wrap up revision for each week so that you will not be rushing everything at the second half of the semester. Sometimes, the projects and assignments and reports and tests AND AND AND....... just bombard you only at the second half of the semester. You will feel suffocating even though the first half of the semester is rather relaxing. So, never leave everything till the last minute!
6. If you are from JC, and you once heard your seniors/teachers saying "University is much relaxing than JC life", don't be too gullible and too happy before you experience the real University life. It is not as easy as people say, so don't slack too much.
7. Have fun! & do look forward to the vacations! I love Summer break especially, because it is 3 months of total freedom.
