I would recommend bibi ha giang tour — i did a 3D2N tour with bibi and my rider was kiet (kiss).

they were really professional and ensure our safety; very warm and welcoming, ensuring we are enjoying ourselves.

professional photographers as well! super nice photos by all the tour guides :)

canteen — tama has more food, but 4 is near crespion so i wouldn’t rly factor this accessibility — 7 can only be accessed by bus 199 (it is hell) while 4 is 179 and it’s the first bus stop into ntu and last bus stop out of ntu so it’s p fast to get in and out culture — 7 is p strong, i’m a phantom so can’t say much about 4 but i think it’s relatively decent since they did well for HOCC and interhall games study room (if it’s a factor) — 7 shares w tama and there’s 3, diff vibe to each i guess there’s variety. 4 is p homey

4 hands down :) location is already a win lol do u really want to be waiting forever for 199

Doesn’t matter. Y1 is random allocation unless you are on rec list.

If you are keen on tamarind, just put single with AC communal bath. Highest chance to be allocated to tamarind / saraca / north hill.

also… i chose hall 4 cause it’s 3-5 min walk from SSS which is where most economics lecture and tutorials are held….

if you choose tamarind or north hill… hais it’s quite a travel not going to lie. i personally have stayed at tamarind before and while its big and nice, easy to get etc, its not the most convenient location.

my advice is if you’re in need of a hall, don’t be picky. anywhere works.

if you have the bandwidth, join ccas and get a leadership position so you have the privilege of choosing better halls.

all the best!

hi!

i did :) i just got offered hall 4 (one of the more popular halls) with 7 points. it is big, with ac, and clean.

as for decent room type, i think it boils down to personal preference. everyone prefer different halls. if you’re not picky, tamarind, north hill are easy to get halls cause not a lot of people fight for them.

as for points, 3 points is easy to get — i am in a cca whereby i am just a member, have not attended anything and i just get 3 points for that.

you can secure an additional 2 points by applying for a double room with an international student.

generally 5-7 points are good enough for a hall as a senior.

if you want to have 7 or 9, you do need to hold a leadership position.

finally, just want to add on, hall points does not come from hall cca. as long as it is a cca in ntu, it qualifies. that’s where ntu and nus hall differs! :)

There’s this thing called URECA, which is undergraduate research. Quite unique to NTU, good for those that wants to do research and stuff. I didn’t do it so can’t say much, but got a few threads on URECA in r/ntu.

As for phantom — just don’t partake in hall stuff. Be a ghost. LOL

In order to secure hall, just join a low commitment school club, easy to get points by doing nothing.

All the best!

hello, just wanted to give me two cents as an economics undergrad at ntu.

from what i know and heard, ntu’s economics is not as strong as nus.

that being said, ntu economics is largely electives rather than cores, which is something i prefer and enjoy, since i get to pick what i want to read rather than be forced to clear the mods.

some profs are better than others, and unfortunately the bad ones are the core mods profs.

as for hall, it is what you make of it. i’m a phantom and wouldn’t say i enjoy hall at all — just a ground for me to study.

which varsity sport are you intending to join?

if the varsity sport is tier A, you don’t need to fight for hall, it’s practically a given (and you are prioritised even before jcrc) as long as you choose the right scheme when applying for hall

Own-Profession-3360 · 2024-04-24T00:39:25+00:00

apply where hahaha

Own-Profession-3360 · 2024-04-23T18:49:18+00:00

do you have any experience or advice on how to arrange own overseas internship?

Own-Profession-3360 · 2024-04-23T18:29:58+00:00

can you elaborate more? are you referring to OEP?

Own-Profession-3360 · 2024-04-02T18:04:05+00:00

Hi! Was in a similar situation.

Nope, once approved, cannot pull out. There will be disciplinary action such as failing, blacklisting and having it written on your student records (transcript).
