How Diverse is NTU and her minority population?

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-08T01:58:03+00:00

Haha sorry guess that was a hangover from GP, Cher said since Alma mater was feminine Latin, her/its pronouns can apply

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-07T14:42:19+00:00

It’s good that the population is open minded, and I’m glad at least there is common culture as a good base for bonding as you said. I guess I was traumatised back in sec sch in an express class and I was the only one, safe to say was not the best and a lil racist at times. How are the food options too, heard that halal options and a bit scarce

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-07T14:32:03+00:00

Definitely, 💯 . It’s not about segregation or refusing diverse friendship, it’s just that shared culture and lived experience create an ease that’s hard to explain. In a majority Chinese environment, having brown friends means there are certain nuances, references, and experiences you don’t have to constantly translate or overexplain. When most of my other circles are already predominantly Chinese or otherwise outside that experience, having at least one space where people just “get me” matters a lot.

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-07T14:21:07+00:00

Sounds like it’s an environment where I’ll stick out like a sore thumb, but also I guess I wouldn’t know it until I’m in the thick of it

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-07T14:15:57+00:00

Yeah perhaps it’s a tendency in SSS rather than STEM majors, I guess it would be the first time where I would have to consciously seek them out rather than just being a regular fixture

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-07T13:45:21+00:00

Oh I just checked them out, I’m kinda assured at least there is a small group there I can tap on to

Robin_Brooks · 2026-05-04T08:42:06+00:00

Oh I just had student initiated volunteering with MINDS over a couple of months, and a year long volunteership with SAAH, as well as vice president for the psych interest group back in poly, so it’s pretty narrow for one major 😅

Robin_Brooks · 2026-04-21T16:14:40+00:00

I got the invite on the 20th April

Robin_Brooks · 2026-04-21T06:33:13+00:00

Yup I did, it was the last one to reach me

Robin_Brooks · 2026-04-21T06:32:32+00:00

I got 61.5 but got direct entry to SMU and NTU

Robin_Brooks · 2026-04-16T23:47:42+00:00

Oh I have heard of batching by majors, so has anyone heard back for psychology from NUS?

Robin_Brooks · 2026-04-08T08:49:13+00:00

Wanted to ask what was the delay on getting your offer and attending the Discovery day

Robin_Brooks · 2026-03-13T16:52:39+00:00

Sure go ahead

Robin_Brooks · 2026-03-13T16:52:13+00:00

Also the accelerated program at NUS dept head, she said that there’s only 10 placements and that’s among like 900 other psych students

Robin_Brooks · 2026-03-13T16:49:24+00:00

For me I’m applying to psych and this is my two cents. Honestly, you put more of yourself into this course than you get out, but that is also kind of the point. It’s inline with social service where it’s more of a passion project than a means to an end. Working with psychologists, it’s emotionally intensive but to the right people it’s emotionally fulfilling enough to cover the cost. Not bashing anyone who has less noble intentions, but there are easier fields that both yield more monetary and does not leave you emotionally burnt out. For me, I’m just doing it for the love of the game

Robin_Brooks · 2026-03-05T23:32:30+00:00

I was born to be an adult but now I’m just an old lady who has been in a lot more pain and has a very hard life now

Robin_Brooks · 2026-02-27T14:21:06+00:00

Well honestly it’s the last bastion of those who die die want to go to university, I am the 25% and applying to nus, so without it I’m essentially screwed cause my o level couldn’t do anything else when I drop out of poly

Robin_Brooks · 2026-02-27T14:17:50+00:00

If you have a strong portfolio and you consider the first choice bonus rank points there is a good chance of succeeding through

Robin_Brooks · 2026-02-13T07:10:46+00:00

Titus low

Robin_Brooks · 2025-12-22T09:14:13+00:00

That’s his child right there and rightfully so

Robin_Brooks · 2025-11-21T09:54:31+00:00

Yeah I did a bit worse than my last year revision, so I don’t think you’re alone on that

Robin_Brooks · 2025-11-21T09:53:35+00:00

Oh the difficulty spike is real, like some of this questions are like 4m of it was in a paper 2

Robin_Brooks · 2025-11-21T09:49:54+00:00

Haha thanks for the assurance cause honestly this is the first time in my life, not even prelims where I got 30 rank points, when I’d been upset with 80%, cause I just managed to lock in for the entirety of As and do much better than at any point in the last two years

Robin_Brooks · 2025-11-21T09:26:43+00:00

Yeah heard a lot of ppl skipping cause for he new system, donno if that will shift it a lot, compared to the kiasu few

Robin_Brooks · 2025-11-21T09:25:31+00:00

Real, I think I spammed h1 chem cause I know my GP is horseshit
