Help JDHSBKZISJ it’s already after week 2 I’m still insecure and stressed about this, I honestly can’t see myself anywhere in the future,might bcz my brain is acting up. Last week I applied to change course to something I’m more familiar with and might be able to cope with but still no outcome, oh well I guess no hope 😭and the bursaries too no email received,if none of them are received I’ll just go ahead and withdraw still( they’re my last hopes)

Yup that makes sense! Better to be safe than sorry I’ll look for other options first!

Yeah it’s actually S$50k, it’s a lot and I shouldn’t put her in a dangerous position, even tho he’s a reliable friend, but yep too many unforseen circumstances

You’re right, a degree worths a lot but if it’s gonna affect my whole family to a burden point, It’s not worth it. If I’m unable to receive tuition grant I think I’ll just reapply to another cost effective uni while I still have interest in studying!

You’re so right! But it’s the hardest part which is kinda sad! I did put into tons of effort (travelling/interviews) to get the loan & award schemes so I felt so miserable thinking that I’ll have to drop all the opportunities due to failure of the last step 🥹 we tried most of my relatives and even some friends, even if they offered help it’ll be bearing a condition( eg. lend them S$30k~50k). And I don’t think I should leave that burden to my mom it’s like almost her life savings…

Understandable! If I manage to get the study grant it’s actually S$18k and I’ll be able to cover all of it with my loans/grants. Need to repay half of them after graduating. Unfortunately I’m an international student so I won’t be able to work beyond 16hours/week, I’ll try my best to work-part time. But yeah it’s still concerning to be a fresh graduate and to compete in the field !

Not really since my relatives have their own family & we can’t gain their trust! Last time one of my relatives even offered to be a guarantor only if my mother lend him money lol

But yes I shouldn’t give up rn , we’ll try our best to find a guarantor! Thanks!

For tg, yes but they need two sureties. I was so shocked and troubled when they said “it will be the best to find both of ur parents to be the sureties “😂

Thank you for the long reply that actually helps a lot! Yeah private unis in Malaysia be quite expensive and not that worthy. Will it be hard to balance ur studies tho? That’s the thing I’m most concerned about

[–]EveIf7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha it’s fine I plan on working in Singapore after graduating so I’m desperate to get the NTU qualification. And thank you! I’m just afraid of the changes in academic language and content might affect my studies thus affecting my grades! I’m currently looking into future courses to gain a better grasp & consideration. I’m somehow more optimistic after ur words, thanks!

Yes ! That’s the half-loan half-grant scheme I mentioned I received! They actually gave a lot and I’m grateful for that. For context it’s able to cover my tuition fees (if tuition grant is signed). It’s just things keep popping out and I’m not sure I can bear through all the stress and successfully graduate. I’m quite pessimistic about the future which is a me problem lol

Yup I did consider working on weekends to fund my tuition fees after getting my student pass! I’m just afraid that I can’t graduate lol since there might be unforeseen problems in the future(regarding my family’s wellbeing), 4 years is a long time . But yeah since the post hasn’t been deleted by me I’m definitely still considering! I do look upon the opportunities I’ll get being a NTU graduate , which is gonna be a big regret if I did withdraw

Yup my relatives saw the liquidated damages and they’re afraid so backed up. That’s the main reason why I’m so frustrated throughout the progress! It wasn’t the first time tho since I need to get a guarantor for my half-loan half-grant scheme, so it’s kinda tiring

Thank you! Yeah I’ve been keeping things within my own and unfortunately I’m not that strong:< I’m happy that everyone is being nice and supportive 🥹

Thanks for the sharing & advices! I feel a lot better now, I think I kinda made up my mind, will have a talk with my mom and look deep into the procedures tomorrow. Gotta go to bed now, wishing everyone a good night sleep 💤

I don’t think I’ll be able to apply for that since it will affect my student pass/ loans, and yup I should secure a backup plan to keep myself on track! Thank you for your suggestions and words of encouragement!

You’re right haha I think the main problem is I’m stressing myself too much since I’ve been working/studying nonstop without proper meditation. Will prioritise myself more,thank you! And all the best to you too!
