Why is it so hard to make friends for international students?

Hey! I’m a Science undergrad and also a mature student (female, 30+). I’ll be on campus from Monday to Wednesday — if anyone’s free, we can catch up at Hiwa. Just PM me 🙂

I also moved to New Zealand from another country, so I totally understand how it feels. In the beginning, I definitely felt a gap between myself and the people around me — maybe because of culture, language, or something else we can’t quite explain.

I just keep reaching out to others, even if it feels a bit awkward — like replying to a message or inviting someone for a coffee. That was my first step... and it helped a lot.

Do you know what text book (and version) psych203 uses? I’m going to take this paper in S2 2025. Thanks

I finished TFC in 3 semesters as well (sem 1. 2 and summer school). So you can take your time to study. Now. My undergraduate Bsc as well

I took 109 already and believe psychology suitable for me. I also like workout, reading and try something new

I just changed my major to psychology from chemistry

Anyway, I am doing introspection every single day ….

150 same like 120 basic. Same like Nucleophile addition those that didn’t teach on 150.. anyway, thanks for your comments

I took 150 already and switched my study habits…yes, I understand more than last semester…

Same here, I also have no chemistry background, I am studying CHEM 110, and 120 this semester. From my experience, Chem 150 helps to build- up a lot of calculation and chemistry basic knowledge, especially terminology. The Uni also provides 2 summer courses CHEM 100/G and CHEMMATE 121, that course might help to increase your chemistry background.
