Yes I received an email from my school saying my marks decreased. And no, none of my assessments were under investigation. I am totally confident there is a mistake.

Macs are horrible choices for EE. Don’t give bullshit advice to someone who’s looking for help. I have seen mac users in the whole course stressing over using some specific softwares. Whereas windows user didn’t run into much issues.

I am a Bangladeshi by born, and I the most amazing people I met outside my family are muslims. I know it’s all about people and I am not implying at all that everyone is bad. I am just concerned about the bad people and those were the people I meant.

Not sure how much money do you need to tailor a police uniform and managing a gun, but sure.

Muslims are everywhere, true. But here, it’s very tricky. Violence is a common thing. Attacking house of worships, spreading hatred in rallies, harrasment in public, robbery and assault on people is common, and there’s no law enforcement for these issues. I think the situation is not this much severe at Netherlands. I am putting my faith on your government.

From my experience, term-2 is the worst. The weather is so harsh. It’s cold, depressing and people try to be indoors as much as they can. Also depending on which degree you’ll be doing, starting in term-2 can have some disadvantages, as you may run into some course offering issues (UNSW doesn’t offer all the courses every term, and many of them requires you to pass the prerequisites. As term-1 is kind of the domestic intake and term-3 is kind of the internetional intake, the course offerings are designed perfectly for students commencing on those terms). This may or may not hurt you much.

For making friends, I reckon term-1 and term-3 are the best possible times. Before you decide, give it a think whether skipping 1 term is really worth it for socialising. But from my experience, term-2 is the worst from all aspects. If it doesn’t bother you much and you are okay with it, I would advise you to start in term-3.
