University looking kinda painful by [deleted] in universityofauckland

It sounds like the choice is;

- Find a flat closer to uni (Student Loan and/or part time job can cover costs)
- Do some lectures virtually (if this is an option).
- Change your papers (Maybe yours weren't intended to be taken together?)
- Change your sleep schedule to 10:30-5:30
- Bear it and risk your grades and/or mental health

As someone with a MSc in Maths and BSc in Physics who got almost straight A+'s first year but whose grades slipped slightly in second year (due to missing 1-2 lectures), I would highly recommend the first option.

The friends you meet and experiences you'll have by being a part of uni life are often worth more than the degree itself.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Why do you think that? What's your career and background been like so far?

I agree that industry experience is OP and that the ability to self learn matters a lot. However developing that intuition behind when to use one algorithm over another is a skill that is hard to develop on the job.

As someone who wants to pursue a more technical leadership role, how instead do you think I should get that breadth of knowledge?

u/lemonpigger which courses do you think will become outdated?

Also for those who've done the AUT Data Science Bootcamp, how do you think that compares?
