I'm from ntu, the reason i chose ntu is becoz, it's near my
house and has no need to bid for modules. nus u need to bid for ur
modules and has become quite a chore for my nus friends esp during
the start of the semester... somehow, there are still ppl who says
it's very good to have bidding system... for me, I just dont see
the point and im happy with the allocation system they have in
ntu... it's quite hassle free...the argument is that in the bidding
system if u have more 'buying' points, u have a higher chance of
getting the modules u want... in ntu, if u are in courses like
engine, they allocate u the core subjects, then u have to choose
prescribe or unrestricted electives urself.. u just choose the ones
u want, then the system will determine if u get it or not... there
are those very popular modules that have limited spaces, so the
system will normally give priority to more senior students. but
what the heck they have hundreds of modules for u to choose, so if
u dont get what u want this sem, u still got alot of good modules
to take.
bad pts about ntu? 1130-1330 very hard to find seats in the
canteens. studying areas also very pack. and maybe the bus system
is quite troublesome for some ppl, and ntu is quite large, so
during hot days, can be damn hot and sweaty when u move from place
to place. the halls in ntu are older than nus ones and has uncool
names... like hall 1- 15. but of coz if u want to name all the
halls, it's quite bo liao also... u need 15 weird names... having
numbers just more convenient. other than that, it's quite a decent
place to study... exams end earlier than the other unis but of coz
start earlier too.
