I just created this account to rant/ask for advice here. I really don't know what to do.

I had to take volunteerism course for my current semester. At first I thought it's going to be very easy since I already do community service for my scholarship annual requirement which is 20 hours per year by the way.

But in this course, span of 14 weeks, first 6 weeks we have to write and submit proposal. Then for about 9 weeks on the actual volunteerism for 30 hours. Even that is okay, but they need 5 distinct activities and 1 theme. The activities should be different from each other and have huge impact.

I rely on public transport/grab. I first joined in groups but none of them actually took the initiative to look for themes and activities. I have about a week to make a proposal and submit. The proposal has to have the activities and themes I'm going to do.

Since the course participants are a lot, we are separated by groups each with assigned coordinators. Some coordinators are not strict so the students can cheat, or just include some pictures and get an A. But my coordinator is different story. I have now sent him 3 different projects with different activites, for everything he said, "I cannot see 5 activities, so I won't give marks"

I have thought of projects that I could do within my budget and time, but everything seem to be not enough for him. This has been impacting me mentally because I'm a scholarship student, I cannot get lower grade in this course and repeat this for next semester.

And this totally made me to not want to volunteer. Volunteerism should be done against ones own goodwill. If the rules are this rigid with short amount of time, how to even enjoy or actually want to do it?!

Sorry for the rant. I feel like spiraling. I have contacted head of the course to at least change my group, but they are not willing to.

So I'm an American high school student (havent graduated yet) and I really want to study in Malaysia. I was hoping to go into an MBBS program only to be hit with the reality check of learning that it doesn't work like that. Since then I looked into A-Levels which I wouldn't be a viable option for me because if I were to take the tests as a private candidate I would have to skip a lot of school which would get me in a lot of trouble. I can't do IB since I'm not in an IB school. I did get a B in AP Physics which most Malaysian schools don't take since AP is an American thing. I've decided that I should probably just throw in my cards and do the Foundational Program. This is kind of embarrassing to admit but I kind of wanted to avoid the Foundation Program because from what I understand most Malaysian students go straight to MBBS after graduation at like 17. If I'm wrong PLEASE CORRECT ME OML. Anyways I'm worried that once I actually get into the program I'll be like the oldest person there and like really behind. I know it's a dumb thing to worry about but it is kind of weighing on me. Anyway, what do you guys think? Are there other ways for me to get college credit? Or maybe it's really not that serious and I'm just overthinking everything. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Hi there, I got an A+ for chem, an A- for bio, a B for phy, a B+ for maths and a C+ for addmaths. I know my results are quite disappointing, but I have been taking math tuition since Feb this year to build my foundation.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should study? I don’t really know what I want, and I feel like I don’t have any passion for my future. I’m concerned about the salary of my future career and whether AI will replace it. I would appreciate it if anyone could share some advice or personal experiences. It would be a great help.

Hello everyone. I’m planning to become an international student at Taylor’s University in the future. Two years ago, I completed my IB diploma, which was conducted in English. Recently I also took the PTE test. However, I couldn’t find any info about the PTE test for Taylor’s University. I only saw information about the IELTS. Is the PTE test even recognized by Taylor’s University?

Hey I'm an imternational student applying to Universiti of Malaya. I was wondering if my credentials are good enough. In gce o levels I had 6A 2B and in a levels I had 1A 2B (A in CS, B in math and physics). I'll be applying to the CS programs. Do I even stand a chance? Because if I don't, I do not want to waste my application fee when I know I'll be rejected.

Recently i have received my SPM result (ontop) and im trying to figure out what to do after, STPM or A levels (No diploma because of availability and No foundation due to distance) , im debating both of this is because of difficulty and of course i have heard the tales of STPM being one of the hardest ornot the hardest test in Malaysia, and i really want some advice on choosing these two and really want to hear some experiences of fellow fresh grads, thx

Hi,saya nak mintak opinion sikit,saya dah pernah intern during diploma and now dah degree, is it lagi better I cut intern or not untuk degree nj?

I want to take a master in data science in either UKM, USM or UTM but I was told UKM was better if you want to work in south east asia and I'm not from there. is that true tho? and if it is would it still be worth it compared to the other two?

I'm considering to study accounting/finance in Malaysia and I'm having a hard time choosing between the two universities, any recommendations please?

Hello currently in last sem of foundation in Curtin University. Basically im considering changing universities post foundation.

Issues with curtin:

1. Admin causing issues repeatedly with activities such as us hosting a tourney but being hindered by slow processing of our own funds, approval etc etc.

2. Finance department causing issues with tuition fee as a sponsorship holder

3. Lecturers are not helpful in anyway and just do the bare minimum

4. Environment is meh with mid facilities and a boring community that is way too lax in academics etc etc

5. Employability and Cert concerns with the rise of influx student due to FTES that dont even seem like they should be engineering (they r failing basic maths and r allowed to retake many times with curtin doing their best to somehow slot them in with extra credit via assignments or retest)

My current GPA is 3.8 and predicted to be 3.94

Have decent - good extracurriculars with vice pres positions in societies

Currently considering applying to swap degrees to

1. UTP

2. Monash (with hopes of successful yayasan sarawak loan)

3. any opinions?

Whats holding me back is the fact that i qualify for FTES and could get a free degree in Curtin University. Would appreciate everyone’s two cents.

so i dapat sms pasal Matrikulasi Ujian Aptitud and i tak sure benda ni macam mana. if you all have info or tips boleh bagi tau thanks
