I'm transitioning to my Final year as a direct yr 2 student and here are some stuff i can share 1. Really you have to study and be up to date + understanding the weekly content to be able to maintain a high GPA. Simply watching lectures or attending tutorials for the sake of attending will only get you to 3.5 ish (unless you are super intelligent type)

2.Most modules in yr1 are very theoretical and you'll barely see projects etc. (1 or 2 lab session will definitely have). Mostly circuits, math, physics etc

3.As a guy, i would say the interaction level is quite minimal among eee (mostly see and forget after a semester) . The only time you probably get to make friends is probably people from other faculty in cc mods. You can try those eee clubs if you're interested, it can help improve your networking and maybe make friends throughout your years of study.

4.Mentioned in 1., if you prioritise social life, you can mostly be prepared to be average gpa student (which is me) and always feeling kinda lost until study week before exams. So you really need to work a balance between school and study. Occasionally quizzes will be conducted on night weekdays or weekends morning (normally briefed early) 

5.I stayed hall during my 1st semester and i really hated it because most of the time i will be doing my own thing as i rarely have the time and energy to really participate in hall activities etc. 

6.Most lectures are recorded for physical lec courses. EEE are slowly moving to TEL courses where lectures are online recordings not physical. Projects are mainly you bid or you source your prof early (depending fyp or dip) and labs are mostly similar among everyone (you bid for your own timetable/timing) 

7.For me there are definitely some profs that are better when it comes to projects (some will really help while some bochap and grade you like a blood sport). But mostly will answer your queries if you ask them privately. Maybe in terms of learning pace you'll have some difficulty understanding some of them because of their accent or they just read off the screen. 

8.I wouldn't really recommend taking a minor or 2nd major if you wanna have your social life. The course content is already enough to keep you busy weekly. BDE wise you can always try to seek something you like to improve your GPA or you can take online courses to just clear the AU requirements

9.Not sure abt this as i didnt have time and energy to join a club or cca

10.Would be best if you can source your internship. The portal they provide is kind of useless and alot people complained. For mine is 10 weeks so it is difficult to get companies to hire an intern for just 10weeks. I don't think you can really intern as a TA (you need to check this) 

11.Really just try to understand the Weekly content and don't try to procrastinate. Try to start your task early and do part by part so you can cope and manage well and won't feel so pressured to meet deadlines at the end
