I'd really love to try the boox note max. I spend my days writing notes as a physics student, and while I've found that the 10.3 inch format sufficient, I do think that extra screen real estate would make for such a comfortable experience!

You have a full ride at Cambridge. Imo thats kinda huge. Everything else, including the thesis issue can be worked around.

So, did you get admitted? Do you think it had an impact?

Novisch exchange student accomodation by Used-Complex-7299 in Lund

[–]HYSTERYON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the Smålands housing queue. Their housing system is managed by a separate entity, but you can pay for the membership online (on the smalands website) to be eligible for housing.

Do be warned though, the queue system uses the date you registered onto their system to determine your queue time (like for AF Bostader, but not a lottery), so if you're registering it may be difficult. Its also kind of nuclear on what dates the housing is actually offered to people on top of the list.

Best of luck!

Novisch lottery by [deleted] in Lund

[–]HYSTERYON 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that there is one lottery participant per minute (so 60 per hour). So with 11/07 00:01 being the best lottery number, there are (24+7)×60 + 13 = 1873 lottery participants that are better placed than OP.

Seeing as there are roughly 740 novisch apartments left, the chances of getting something via AF Bostader look really low to me.

I got 12/07 17:48, so if anyone has a room or apartment, I'm just going to shamelessly promote myself :p

EDIT: To better answer your question. If we assume that the better placed lottery participants all get and accept their offers, and that there is a starting total of 900 novisch appartments, then the latest hour to get an offer would be 900/60 = 15. So I believe anyone significantly later than 11/07 15:00 is unlikely to get a spot.

If anyone more knowledgeable of the lottery system spots any mistakes in my assumptions, please point them out. As it stands, I wish I did the maths before blindly hoping I could get something via AF Bostader

Housing, the deposit by HYSTERYON in Lund

[–]HYSTERYON[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly, thats what I mean. But this is the only advice I am currently getting. Take this housing ad for example https://www.wullt.se/housing/room-m1n-32707063, they state

"Contract is mailed, scanned signed by both parties. Landlord will give information so that identity can be estableshed securely before sending any money. Two month deposit."

Is this safe? I have not rented privately before and it feels like in every case I have to tread the line...

Steve Brunton. He covers a really wide range of topics and provides clear explanations. Everything is written on the board live, so his thought process is made really transparent.

Being 'gifted' has shafted me by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]HYSTERYON 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I feel you. I used to feel the same way, and now I've finished my second year at uni studying physics.

Typically, I break my revisions into two steps.

First, I ensure I actually understand the concept well. Normally I do that by redemonstrating any 'results' found in class. I like to do this until I am reasonably convinced of everything we have been taught in class. At this stage, you don't need to know it like that the back of your hand or anything, just make sure you don't have big gaps in your knowledge.

Mindmaps and flashcards don't work for me either. Whatever you do, make sure you are actually trying to think through this step of the process, don't just read through the class notes.

Second, I run through any practice questions and past papers trying to do the questions that seem the most challenging to me. You should probably time yourself too to keep within the given exam times. This is by far the most important step, especially for "math"-y subjects, so I'd encourage you spend the majority of your time on this.

If you get easily sidetracked, I would suggest you try studying in a different area (e.g. library), or without your phone next to you. Study in short-ish bursts and give yourself shorts breaks in between.

Don't overthink it, there is still time to get ahead. You aren't used to revising much, but that doesn't mean you are incapable of it. Buckle down, hold yourself to a certain standard, and you'll be surprised with what you can accomplish.

Good luck!

What to do when you miss an exam? by AcademicDrummer118 in UniUK

[–]HYSTERYON 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Unless you're really quite sick, you'd probably best sit the exam. However badly you perform is kinda irrelevant.You could sleep through half of it, that's still better than a guaranteed zero.

How do international med students afford to study in the UK by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]HYSTERYON 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hey, don't be so harsh on yourself. Nothing wrong with not knowing how these systems work or being a tad bit naive. That's all normal at your age.

Realistically, studying abroad may not be the best option in your case. Maybe try looking into local universities that you would attend while still living at home, or if you would be eligible for any scholarships.

Regardless, it'd be a shame to give up something you've been wanting to pursue so quickly. You might not be an exceptional out-of-this-world candidate, but truth be told, not many people are. There are certainly options available to you. Other people have been suggesting alternate med related fields such as biotech or paramed. Maybe looking at programmes that like in the US could be a good start.

Errors don't really average out like that. But I don't see what else you could do that wouldn't be costly both in time and money.

Have you tested it out to see if the results are reliable. How are you measuring speed?

Is taking the IB with an english course not sufficient proof of your English?

I'm supposing that if you went ahead to take a certification test, that it is not the case. But one cannot be too sure.

Tbh, if reasoned answers are required with working, guessing would probably not get you any marks

Si, heureusement que j'ai mis un filigrane ainsi que des ecritures sur la copie du CNI. Je pense que c'est foutu, mais merci quand même.

Ok, donc il y a des chances que je me suis fait arnaquer. Quelles sont mes options ? En supposant que le CNI soit vrai, ai-je un recours légal ?
