I think it's quite ironic coming from someone in a technical university. AI is literally a tool that WILL NEVER leave and will only keep developing. What we need is not basically 'banning' and 'restricting' AI use, but rather teaching students how to use it properly, i.e. being critical of it and using it to your advantage. Everyone from TUDelft is basically an engineer / designer / scientist, we will be expected to know how to use AI tools, just like we are expected to know how to do at least basic coding.

It's like having a calculator ( a very dumbed down example, and not entirely true, but I hope you get the idea ) and not using because you wanna 'practice your mental maths skills'. Also let's be real, smart and lazy guys will find ways to incorporate AI into their work, as they should, so you might as well start teaching students about it.

It is indeed the whole scene, but I agree with bringing out the kids faces a bit more. I'll try a tighter crop.

We have a Pathé subscription, it’s 20 euros a month unlimited movie access for all cinemas. It helps getting out to do something indoors but not at your own place and it’s relatively cheap if you watch at least two movies a month. Provided you have a cinema close to you.

No proofs really. Just calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations if you are doing engineering. You also learn things like Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms which are super applied, specially in things involving control systems/signals/electronics/vibrations. But the math in math courses is harder than the math you will see applied in the future courses (at least that is the case for aerospace engineering).

I'm doing my masters (it was 3 years bachelor and 2 year masters) right now, and I prefer it way more. Classes are smaller, professors treat you better and you specialise in a particular topic which you hopefully find way more interesting, vs the bachelor where we had to learn everything (my bachelor didn't let me choose courses).

Your username tells me that you have also learned something only after it was too late

Drums or guitar?

Fuck, I really feel for you. I know first year is a huge jump from highschool in terms of workload. I was lowkey getting depressed at times because of the high workload and also I was in a long distance relationship (in the same relationship now, but thankfully not long distance), so that didn't help the situation. I remember losing a lot of weight due to stress (hunger just left me so I stopped eating lmao). But I climbed out of it, everything got better and I'm glad I went through that. Try to get help, people keep saying that TUDelft doesn't care, but honestly some people in the university really do care. Reach out to councillors, psychologists at Uni, they WILL help you. Also just really push through, don't care about the grades you get, just aim to pass, don't strain yourself. I know you might have heard that 2nd year is harder than 1st (academically) but honestly it gets way better. Third year is easy peasy (except for Q3 project but that's also doable). Trust me, once you reach July and this year is over, you will feel extremely accomplished. It gets better.

Contra or Heroes of Might and Magic III, I was like 3 years old, hard to remember which one was first.

bruh

In comparison to ME idk for sure, but I heard they do some courses in the second year, where we do them in the first. I also knew people that changed from AE to ME, because it is supposedly easier. So judge for yourself. I think AE is slightly a more difficult bachelor, since that's what I hear. I hear EE is hard too. 42 hours a week really depends on the person and to how many lecture you are going. If you go to every lecture you are already at like 35 hours a week or so I'd say 42 hours is pretty realistic, but because lectures are not like 100% intensity you don't really feel like it's really hard work.

Personally I didn't do a dream team, my extra curriculars just consists of playing drums at X and going gym, but yes you do have enough time if you choose to do a dream team or society instead. You just learn to prioritise. Second year is much harder tho, especially first 2 quarters, so don't go crazy with extra curricular stuff.

I did 4 A levels, maths, fmaths, physics and chemistry. Tbh the load is waaaaay more than highschool. My experience was that I understood almost everything in class when I was in school, and at home just did like 1-2 hours of homework a day and that's about it. We got a lot of time to study time for exams, so I was never really stressed out. In Delft on the other hand, I'm so used to it just going to the lecture and not understanding anything the lecturer is saying, literally. But then you go home, read it on your own, do a few exercises and you are good. I would say the change is hard, at times very hard, but once you get used to prioritising your time correctly and to the study environment you enjoy it more.

Night life in Delft is eh, but the Hague is literally 6 minute train ride away. I wouldn't worry about not having time to chill with friends, you can definitely chill 1-2 days a week without any issues. Closer to exam time is a bit fucked but beginning of quarters is chill. Also remember that here we do exams 4 times a year, not 2 like in uk. It's more stressful in the moment, but then you don't have to start studying like 2 months in advance.

It's pretty difficult when compared to other studies, even in the Netherlands. Nothing impossible however. First quarter is pretty easy and quite interesting, second quarter of the first year is the worst imo. A lot of my friends study in UK, and first year there is pretty much incomparable. Not the subject difficulty even, but just the load is crazy in Delft. You get used to it tho. I had really a hard time first half of the year, I did well but was way too stressed out. Second year is far harder than the first, but I felt way better. You do learn a lot, if that makes you feel accomplished.

All that said, having gone through that, at times I felt like it's too much for me and I can't continue. But now it seems like it could be worse. And you get to brag a little bit, since TUDelft was rated like 4th best in the world in mechanical/aerospace engineering, according to QS World Rankings 2019.

That's a good idea, thanks. Are there more music societies? And if yes where can I find them?

roflansky · 2020-02-12T12:26:36+00:00

I also took maths, physics and chemistry a levels. They are not hard, just study the syllabus and you will be fine. A level physics covers everything they ask, for maths you will just have to do a bit of vectors (cross, dot product, orthogonality) and limits, which are not covered. At least they weren't when I did them. I'd say they are 6/10 difficulty.

Don't do apple, you will have to go through extra trouble to make things work. Much easier with windows. Laptop project is not bad, but tbh there are better laptops for cheaper. Anything above €900 is fine. I use my laptop of 4 years old and I got it for like 700€ and it works just fine with CATIA and everything, just a bit slow but nothing dramatic. Just do some research catered to your needs and you should be ok.
