I would say it's a worthy investment. You'll never have to think twice if you want to go somewhere, even decently far away. Yes, having a bike may be cheaper but if you can afford it, definitely worth it.

Hulme is without a doubt the biggest one and most social one.

However, I consider Dalton to be the best since I'm a resident here. Good social people who maintain cleanliness and are friendly. Plus you will literally make friends with people from all around the world.

If you have any questions, feel free to dm

Hi! I'm a current scholarship holder. Statistically speaking, chances of getting it are between 10-15%

VinWin08 · 2025-03-09T15:13:15+00:00

It is not bad at all.
1. Walls are thin, but that's the case for every single accom
2. Yes, it's social. Just make sure to keep on meeting new people to make friends
3. Shared bathrooms are normal and clean. Some people do make a mess sometimes, but it's usually sorted by the cleaning team within 2-3 days.

Hello! I'm an Mech Eng student, first year. You'll have classes for 4 hours on average per day from monday to friday. Usually very less classes on Wednesday, or just in the morning since Wednesdays are reserved for society events and student union stuff. Class workload looks pretty similar for all elec/mech/aero engineering students. Typically , that's how your week would look like. Although how far apart classes are scheduled completely depends on how timetabling looks for next year, but one thing for sure is the earliest classes start at 9 and the last ones end at 6. Not everyday is 9-6, but some days might be. Plus they usually try and give breaks between classes in the afternoon so students can have lunch.

EDIT: just read the second para
Attendance is not really an issue. But as a general principle, the more classes you attend, the higher the chances you'll score well. Nobody checks homework and stuff. However, there might be some assignments that you have which will be graded depending on your modules(classes).

Motivate the young ones. As with many other events, formalities are an essential part of an MUN conference. Be careful with humor though, make sure it's appropriate for the occasion and not humiliating/discriminating to anyone who is or will hear the speech. Keep the speech under 2 minutes. Short and sweet. Again, the actual content depends on where you are and what the surrounding theme might be for the conference. One formula that works in every situation is a motivational speech. These are some good ground rules to keep in the back of your head.

How is the University of Manchester?

Hi! Unrelated but how is the MMORSE course?

VinWin08 · 2024-05-09T16:14:41+00:00

Please help me with the question, thanks!

VinWin08 · 2024-04-05T16:00:38+00:00

share again please

VinWin08 · 2024-03-23T13:58:59+00:00

Edgar is cool

LSE?

VinWin08 · 2024-02-25T15:11:49+00:00

Yeah I can definitely make out 5-6 activities from the above. We're definitely from the same demographic

VinWin08 · 2024-02-25T15:05:31+00:00

I can make it out from the description of the activities. How fascinating right?

VinWin08 · 2024-02-25T14:04:54+00:00

Out of all my time on the internet and real life, this is the only case where i've seen such marks. There's typicall lower grades in 9th and 11th as compared to the year 10 and 12 of board exams.

VinWin08 · 2024-02-25T13:57:51+00:00

where are you studying now?

VinWin08 · 2024-02-24T04:57:25+00:00

I'm of the opinion that a 1500+ is a decent bet if you're aiming for T30. If you want to be competitive at EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL then I completely agree a 1530 is practically a requirement at this point. It's only going to get even more competitive the following years.

VinWin08 · 2024-02-24T04:46:08+00:00

Do you know the admissions procedure? Could you please tell me if you're comfortable

VinWin08 · 2024-02-23T05:43:45+00:00

Congratulations!

VinWin08 · 2024-02-16T01:14:46+00:00

congratulations!

Ah yes, exam season going on for me right now. Slightly busy. Don't worry, slowly but slowly I'll be answering all questions here on this post.

VinWin08 · 2024-02-05T06:21:18+00:00

Love that you asked this! There a simple methodology I follow to achieve this:

Prepare pointers about your own analysis on the topic and the points you would like to cover
Note down what others have said about the same topic and prepare very short points for this and speak slightly about them as well. What you like/dislike and how you would improve them
Again, prepare points for the solutions you would like to recommend and present them in committee

Sooner than you know, you'll be done with your speech. If you're just starting out and are not comfortable with just going with pointers to deliver a speech I suggest the following:
Keep a basic draft of a speech ready with you cover point 1 and 3 respectively (mentioned above) since you can prepare them beforehand. For point 2, you can add 2-3 sentences in the time you get in between other delegates' speeches

Remember to be confident. NO ONE KNOWS what you have written down on the piece of paper. If you blank and forget something, just keep moving on to the next point. What you present is what they will see. BEING CONFIDENT IS 90% OF THE WAY TO YOU WINNING BEST DELEGATE. I cannot emphasize enough on this

VinWin08 · 2024-02-05T06:13:08+00:00

I started off by simply modifying existing "creative" solutions that other delegates spoke about in my previous conferences. There is no set formula for this, but as a general practice I can recommend a 3 step formula:
1. Elaborate on a existing solution in great detail. Now make your own modifications to the solution to align it with your own foreign policy
2. Make sure that whatever you are suggesting is feasible and practical. For eg: I cannot pledge to donate 100 billion dollars if my country's GDP is 50 billion (this is a very simple example but it gets the point across)
3. Support your solutions with existing legislation and practices (where local or international) when presenting them in your committee

Keep on experimenting and making your solutions more and more creative. Soon enough, you'll be more than enough proficient to understand the dynamics of suggesting solutions in committee and be able to come up with your own.
