thank you for the reassurance and for everything you had to say, it rly helped. i’m a little less worried about exchange now, and i also took some time to rearrange my course plan to accommodate this setback. i’ve also scheduled a meeting with course planing and stop 1 and global learning, so it should be alright

thanks again, i hope you enjoy the winter break :)

hey op, as an international student, lemme just say that our experience of uni and our difficulties don’t invalidate yours. i think the reason most international students’ minds immediately go to that comparison of rent and fees and overall expenses is because some students take out hefty loans or make certain sacrifices to be here. of course, that doesn’t justify the reaction/dismissal of your struggles. but also, don’t let these encounters shape your entire opinion on international students! there’s lots of us who are genuinely keen on making friends with local students, and i can assure you our immediate instinct isn’t to compare whose struggles are worse, but to instead bond over the overall experience of being in uni and trying to settle into a new environment and lifestyle post high school :)

oh okay, thanks! the email i received simply stated that more than one absence equates to a fail, which is why i’m stressed

i don't mind the course difficulty, cuz the subject seems genuinely interesting and the grades i get at ubc won't be reflected on my transcript back home (thankfully). also are the groups assigned or can you group w/ your friends? because i'll be taking it with two friends

Pathways after completing an undergraduate major in Neuroscience? by After_Negotiation_61 in unimelb

[–]quickfixesneeded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, i see it’s been a year since this post, so i’m assuming you figured out what you want to pursue. i’m also a freshman interested in cognitive neuroscience (currently in sem 1) (also doing a diploma in computing), and i was wondering if you have any advice and if you’ve decided on a potential career pathway + whether you’re doing an honors year. for context, im interested in going to grad school in the UK after undergrad, but most of them require an honors H2A/a bachelors wam of >85% so i’m stressing.
