Hello everyone,
I just recently applied for a bachelors in Physics, as I graduate from a swiss Gymnasium in a month. I have three main questions which I'm sure other people in my position have aswell, if you have time I'd be very greatful for an answer/answers : )
I know I am basically guaranteed a place, so I was wondering when confirmation letters as well as further information about my studies will be sent to me? I know UZH and ETH require a lot of independence compared to a Gymnasium, but will I at least get information on where to be on my first day and how to find my way around?
I have also heard about maths preparation/refresher courses, which I presume start in August already. Has anyone been to them? Do you have to be in the campus already? This would determine if I start renting a room from August already, and not only from September.
I would like to work a part-time job, such as being a waiter in a restaurant over weekends (not through the week). This is not so much for the money, but more to have something to do. Is this realistic in a physics bachelor in the first year? I am doing 120 physics, 60 computational sciences.
Thank you to anyone who answers, it is greatly appreciated!
