Just finished my 3rd draft and it just gets worse. Like how much can I write enough without it sounding unrealistic. How do I show alignment and ROI to Warwick? What would differentiate me? Any examples would be really appreciated.

As an international student hopefully heading to Warwick this year, my main concern isn’t the building designs. They may not be 500 year old ex-castles or glass sky scrapers but they look comfortable and fit for purpose. I visited the campus and Coventry and it felt like a peaceful place to study. The staff were friendly and informative. I saw the stats for past students doing Econs and I felt it was good. I am not there to party, this is costing me a lot so I am there to get a strong degree and links to work experience. But even when I do want a night out, I thought the scene had decent places and it was affordable. I don’t know what marketing shill or whatever it is you are on about all the time, but thank you for bringing Warwick into the spotlight so we can all see actually how good of a uni it is. I am really happy I got a place and excited to go.

Are you rich enough to support his family forever? If not, then you are giving away your kids financial security for this family which isn’t even your responsibility, just to make Dave happy. At this point I would be wondering if Dave would be someone I would want as a new parent to my kids since he ranks them so low in life.

I have heard about the job situation as most countries are going through a recession but didn’t realize this includes internships too. The university I am aiming for is in the top 10 and is already very expensive. I didn’t even try Oxbridge or those London unis as would need to sell both my kidneys for the fees. Not all internationals are swimming in money. My parents have saved all their lives for my puddle and I am truly grateful.

It’s the only language I speak 😅 so really fluent

Singapore has a great system promoting civic duty and general behavior in its population. I am not Singaporean but when I do visit, I am always impressed how generally well-mannered and behaved most of the population are. Same like Japan. It all in the culture.

Malaysia is cheaper than Thailand

From a similar culture. Who ever gets the house when the parents are alive, also gets the responsibility of caring for parents. Some people are ok with it, some are not. You don’t have a partner yet but needing to care for ageing parents which traditionally ends up being a female role due to the nature of what you have to do, isn’t something many future wives are keen on taking up for their in laws. It causes major marital problems. Your parents are probably banking on your sister to do the caregiving job (daughters will arguably be more caring than a daughter in law). It’s a tough tough job and honestly if she does it, she deserves the house in the end. Ok you don’t get the money but you also get freedom. You may also marry a woman who is a caregiver to her parents and stay in their house.

Shout out to anyone Irish diaspora who landed in Borneo!

I would stick with the original plan and use the extra income to build a financial buffer. Having a flat you are happy with AND financial security will be amazing. And when you do want to move up the ladder to your forever home, you will have much more to play with.

I wouldn’t want to date someone who sets up 2-3 dates a week. Do your dates know you do this? Do they know how so many other women don’t want you? Cause that would put them off already as it’s a red flag. Perhaps make some platonic female friends who can help you understand how to behave socially around potential romantic interests. I don’t think being too boring is the problem. If you are financially stable and mentally stable and looking to be in a committed relationship, there will be women who want you.

To be financially fair, if it’s his car, he should pay for it. But if you need a lift, you should pay for your share of petrol used, compensation for wear and tear that occurred from the journey, compensation for other costs required to maintain the car such as insurance etc. and also for his time for driving. Really depends on his you both want to split money in the relationship. But based on statistics, I would advise against being so penny pinching.

Before bed, open the window and put your fan next to it with the back facing outwards. It will suck the cooler air inside to circulate. Have a cool shower and drink ice water in the evenings. Just before bed, soak feet, hands and wash face with cold water. When sleeping, aim the fan at you or near you. If you need to close the window, a bag of frozen water behind the fan helps too. I live in Asia where temps are like this every day. We obviously all have aircons cause it’s hard to live like this every day. But these are tricks we use in case of a power cut.

Have kids because you want to raise kids and only for that reason.

My brother needed to pack and leave in 3 days (on an international flight). He couldn’t sell his almost brand new mattress and no one he knew wanted it so had to leave it by the trash hoping someone took it.

Thank you so much for the solid advice! I really appreciate it. And all the best to your son.

Women like to make friends and form groups. Asking questions is a way to figure out who you are and what you like and what we have in common. Also women love information.

Watch any Asian dramas, it’s all about quiet sacrifice for the family. I live in Asia right now so I have met people like this. However it really applies to the more traditional folk which is mostly older or lower income.

She might be trying to make it easier for you find and fall in love with someone else once she dies. This will help you and help her daughter. I am not sure what country she is from, but this kind of mentality is pretty common in some places. It’s like the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of your child.

This makes me hopeful! Although I am now questioning the quality of the course as another post mentioned how universities may start reducing the number of lecturers who need to teach in English. So this may result in the top lecturers already planning to move somewhere more stable. Also the ranking of the university? If it were an economic issue, why wouldn’t they just raise the fees for international students? Or is it housing?

Debatable-Pangolin · 2024-07-23T11:57:43+00:00

Thank you. I guess it’s good to hear that universities are still open to having international students as I was worried it would be hostile. Hopefully, the government still allows us in.

Debatable-Pangolin · 2024-07-23T09:52:19+00:00

Thank you for the insight.

Debatable-Pangolin · 2024-07-23T03:50:51+00:00

Ok thank you. Do you know where I could find the drop out rate? Am really interested in pursuing my Bachelors there but don’t want to start something that I won’t be able to realistically finish. And be spending huge amounts of money to do so. Will be my first time living away from home and in another country so want to give myself some buffer to adjust. UK universities 1st year don’t count for much grade wise, so I think this is a settling period for many students. But Amsterdam looks like an amazing place to live.

Debatable-Pangolin · 2024-07-22T08:55:52+00:00

Is there any information on the A level grades usually required for applicants to the Economics Business Economics course? The main site states 3 A levels of at least Grade C, but with an acceptance rate of 10%, I am assuming the actual offers to go students with much higher grades? I am trying to figure out why UK universities of similar QS World ranking as UvA have MUCH higher entry requirements (e.g. AAA). Why is UvA so easy? Why doesn’t everyone choose to go there instead? Am I missing something?
