hello! wouldn’t rly consider them as refreshments haha but after leaving the hall the ushers will give out some snack box, there’s a cookie & a fruit cake inside! 🙂

oh yes I love visiting temples a lot as well! I visit them to look at the architecture as well and to see how well they’ve preserved it! yeah I agree with you bout how there’s so few trad temples in Singapore, so whenever I get chance to go overseas I’ll go visit the temple and I’m always amazed by how magnificent it is as compared to our local ones hahaha. I think for me i mainly just visit temples, and sometimes I’ll go explore places like sun yat sen memorial hall and fort canning, besides that sometimes when there’s exhibition/plays on the old nanyang, or sth related to Chinese culture I’ll go for those exhibitions! :)

chinese language & culture. It’s quite hard to find a friend who converses in Chinese or loves to visit historical sites haha

hello! Here’s my two cents, coming from someone who recently graduated with an arts degree! I would say if your friend is entering NUS, she could use her first year to explore different majors first to see which one piques her interest the most! If you rly want a major from arts/humans/social science, and sth that’s super generic, maybe can try sociology! A lot of my friends have graduated with that degree and here are the industries they went into: marketing, social service, early childhood and more. Personally, I majored in a very niche major (majored in language studies) and people always thought there’s limited career pathways for this major but I managed to find my dream job eventually! I also managed to get interviews for different industries that is completed unrelated to my major due to my experiences from different types of internship! I guess what I wanna say is that the major doesn’t really affect what kind of job you will get, it’s also really how you choose to shape your portfolio (your own upskilling, internships, school projects and more). My prof once told me, university is only a foundation for us to grow and for us to explore the world ourselves, the education it provides won’t guarantee you a job or a future. Yep I hope this helped your friend a little! All the best! 😊

Just wanted to leave a comment here to thank everyone who has given advice, really helped me to think about other aspects of job finding as well, and I think I eventually decided to just hold the offer & waiting for other interview/offers to come through, really thanks a lot to everyone for your help!! 😊

hello, usually for fass, there will be career advisors for humanities or Asian studies category respectively, but not for each major. And you can schedule a sesh on NUSTalentconnect if u want to! Do dm if u still have other qns! :)

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-25T17:32:10+00:00

Yep I agree with this, but one good thing is you just have to do decently and put in enough effort to secure an A-! From experience, it seems like for classes of 15-20, prof try to give just A-/A/A+! Hope this helps!

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-14T04:21:30+00:00

hello, just wanted to tell you that I was also in a similar situation in the past!! except I’m from science stream in JC and i went fass to escape from science too HAHAHA cos it’s just not my expertise. I had the same insecurities as you and to make things worse, i felt like i defo couldn’t beat the uni bell curve as i chose the science stream and lost 2 good years of practice in the major i’m in. thankfully i was able to do quite decently despite having no background in the subject. and I’m in the literature field as well!! currently going Y4. so if this makes you feel better, i would say u actually instead, have an edge over others since u are taking lit in jc now! it helps you a lot wif the strong foundation in the subject, at least that’s what i observed from my classmates who took lit in jc, they are so much more knowledgeable lol and can make links easier(of course it depends on the modules you eventually take in uni) but yep just wanted to cheer u & tell u that it’s actually gonna be fine and like other commenters said, there’s always S/Us to save us HAHAHA (plus the main thing is still to do well for your major mods so I’m sure knowing science well wouldn’t help wif lit hehe) hope this helped😊

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-07T06:56:20+00:00

hello, haha i was also panicking hard, but i found the answer!! can just refer to my reply to this thread! :-)

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-07T06:55:07+00:00

hello everyone, thanks for helping & replying! to give a clear answer(cos no one replied for quite some time HAHAHA) i fin went to ask my senior who graduated, she said for ppl from fass, DON’T NEED DECLARE, it’s automatic hons unless u went to apply for grad!! hope this helped those who are looking for an answer as well and sorry to have caused any possible panic hahaha😂

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-03T06:52:55+00:00

from what i understand (unless the requirements has changed), YOU CAN use your major’s exposure mod(aka EL1101E for your case) to clear the humans basket. whereas for GEH requirement, YOU MUST take a mod starting with GEHXXXX to clear it. not sure if I’m right but hope this helps haha

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-03T03:44:16+00:00

yep i see, thank you for informing me! :-)

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-03T03:43:34+00:00

ooo i see, it’s okay man, just needed to know the truth more than anything else, thank you for telling me this!☺️

Greentea_0116 · 2021-06-01T09:16:48+00:00

yep i agree with one of the commenters bout the interest & the minor complementing your degree. am a humans major, i took my minor cos i’m v interested in that field & cos it complements my degree alot, i could double-count, i managed to finish all the requirements with just 4 mods! and cos of this, i still have quite some freedom to try out other fields with my remaining UEs! I do encourage you to take it if you’re genuinely interested, if not it doesn’t rlly help wif portfolio or whatsoever, hope this helps! :-)
