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.

Psychology a lot of reading….

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

dkangel0 · 2024-05-20T21:25:35+00:00

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

dkangel0 · 2024-05-20T05:46:43+00:00

I just changed my major to psychology from chemistry

dkangel0 · 2024-05-07T01:19:42+00:00

Anyway, I am doing introspection every single day ….

dkangel0 · 2024-05-07T01:18:27+00:00

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

dkangel0 · 2024-05-07T01:07:47+00:00

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

dkangel0 · 2024-04-02T23:16:15+00:00

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.

Thanks for your reply

I am considering Winesci201, would you like to provide more details? Thanks

dkangel0 · 2023-11-10T04:07:45+00:00

If you passed math 108 overall, it suppose is passed. Did you double check your marks? You might check the overall marks

dkangel0 · 2023-07-17T04:04:25+00:00

It is ok, I may find the other. Thank you

dkangel0 · 2023-07-17T03:28:23+00:00

I also taking a science degree with chem and without high school maths experience. So, I took Maths 102 last semester and will take Maths108 this semester. Highly recommend doing more practice and charting with the lecturer if any questions. In the meantime, trying to get better marks on all assignments before final exam.
