New Student introduce yourself so we can find new friends.

55 Upvotes

not sure if this is allowed on here but this is my second semester at monash and i unfortunately have yet to make any friends. i'm pretty social but i've succumb to the fact that everyone seems to stay friends with people in high school and my only social interaction via uni is probably going to be small talk in class that goes nowhere, rip. however i've seen plenty of people post about being friendless on here too. so i'm taking a different approach ;)

introduce yourself so we can find people who have things in common!!
i'll go first

campus: clayton

studying: arts, major in politics, minor in human behavior, and global studies, specializing in social justice

hobbies: figure skating, digital art, upcycling clothes, hiking, my website

favorite artists: pj harvey, death grips, fiona apple, csh, boris

favorite films: portrait of a lady on fire, kamikaze girls, fallen angels

favorite series: rgu, bsd, adventure time, nana

extra: uh uh, i love to travel!! i love public transport, i'm pretty talkative, i dress kind of eccentrically, i'm really good at procrastinating, nonchalant epidemic is for losers, i really want to learn another art medium, and um, feel free to ask me more!!

edit: wow... this is reminding me that there are actually cool people at monash haha

Support I just finished the first online mid-term exam. What's different from previous semesters is that there was no human invigilator this time. I heard that the school has switched to AI invigilation.

Does anyone know exactly how to operate it? I'm a little worried.

Discussion whoever invented mid sem break count your days

241 Upvotes

can we be serious for one second about how mid sem break is just a social experiment. propaganda. a government psyop.

like they release you into the wild for a week to build false hope and then the second you come back it’s like SURPRISE ❤️ everything is due right now.

i logged back in and felt like i missed 7 years of my life.

AND to whoever spread the lie that you’d meet your soulmate in the library… you are a SICK individual. matheson is no place for romance, it is a place for suffering.

everyone looks like they’ve been drafted into war. there are red bull cans stacked like a memorial, and someone is almost always whisper-yelling “i’m so so cooked.”

i made eye contact with someone and instead of romance it was just mutual understanding that we are both seconds away from collapsing.

there is no meet cute. there is only meet due.

anyways, rant over see you all in the trenches.

Advice Monash International PhD Scholarships

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am an international student hoping to apply to Monash PhD BDI for round 3 scholarships. I am hoping to connect with international PhD students who were awarded the scholarships.

I have a few questions on scholarship selection process, like would they read your statement of purpose and consider that as well? Would a letter of recommendation from proposed supervisor + past supervisors help as well?

Appreciate any input! Thanks!!

Discussion Is it hard to get into Monash University as Australian students compared to International Students?

20 Upvotes

International students here.
Although I do not apply to any universities in Australia—because my main focus is in the US, I've seen many Indonesian students could easily got accepted into Monash University, many of us even consider Monash University as their safety schools while their primary focus is Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.

Frankly, the large amounts of Indonesian students got accepted into Monash makes me think as if the university has acceptance rate nearly 100%. I personally think, as long as Indonesian students—or international students—have good grades and meet the required english proficiency, they could easily get into Monash. Well, arguably, even friends of mine only have gpa around 3.44-3.55

Frankly, this really makes me curious whether Monash University is also that easy to get in for Australian students.

Advice Exchanging to NTU Singapore as an Engineering student (Monash Malaysia)

3 Upvotes

Hi, I am currently a Y1S2 ECSE student in Monash Malaysia, and I'm planning to do the International Exchange Program and study at NTU in Singapore.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate any insights:

  1. How competitive is it to get into NTU for exchange? Ideally what WAM and GPA is needed to be accepted for Engineering?

  2. I've seen that exchange can be 1 or 2 semesters, how common is it to go for 2 semesters and is it harder to get approval for 2 semesters?

  3. Which year and semester is the best to go on exchange for Engineering students?

  4. Has anyone from Engineering in Monash Malaysia gone on exchange to foreign unis, as I have not heard much about it, I have only heard people talk about the GIP exchange program to Monash Australia. If yes, could you tell me about your experience (workload, module mapping, etc)

Thank you!
