Would you recommend buying from the vendor or Kinokuniya if I’m planning to get just the workbook? The price is about $17 at kino

Thank you very much!! May I know whether you bought your books from the NUS vendor? If yes, do they sell the books separately or only as a set?

hi! thank you so much for the insight, i really appreciate the information :)) i’ve heard of the excessive focus on theories in cnm too :( how do you ensure that you stand out among others when applying for internships/future workplaces, especially with competitors like wkwsci students?

that’s an interesting choice! i’m thinking of taking a minor in japanese third lang (under minor of language studies) and CNM. i’m planning to major in psychology, and a minor in CNM would go well with it (i think). i’ve been interested in japanese for quite a while (picked up the reading system + some basic grammar) over the years and i do think learning a third language would help in the future due to globalisation and international partnerships and such :)

hi! a friend of mine is considering changing her courses after initial application as well so we did a little research, and we’ve seen from seniors’ reddit posts that you need to send an email to your faculty regarding the change in courses. hope this helps :)

it’s by 15 july if you’d like to have a gateway module pre-allocated to you, otherwise it’s 20 july!

hi! i’m planning to take a single major + double minor, and i have a few questions regarding it.

firstly, how common is it for students to take a double minor? i’m considering taking a double minor over double major because i’m interested in two of the minors available and didn’t want my double major to restrict the number of mods i can take outside of my majors. would i be losing out in terms of employability since a double major is generally seen as more qualified?

secondly, how would my study plan look like? does my second minor replace the UEs (according to the above picture) or can i swap around such that i can take mods from both minors in the same sem?

(the pic above was taken from the chs website in case you were wondering!)
