Hi! Good evening to you. I'm an NSF going to ord soon and I'm considering nus DSA as one of my choices. I'm currently having a hard time choosing between industrial and systems engineering and DSA. I wanted to PM you but the website told me i needed 10 pts to pm...(you can tell i created an account just so I could ask you questions)
I've read about the course online and in the forums but I would like to ask you some questions personally. You were a y1 student in 2017, hence should be a y2s2 student now right? How has the course been for you so far? Has it been hectic? I've read that the course is heavy on computing and I'm quite scared of that portion of the course as I have 0 computing background and knowledge (coming from jc). I've heard some pretty scary stories from friends who are already studying in nus who go for computing mods and only a few of them are new to it while almost the whole class knows what's going on...
I would also like to ask you about internships. Have you found one? I've also read that there will be an 18-month internship programme for the students matriculating since 2018. Does that mean we will not get to go for overseas exchange? (if we opt for the internship)
I probably do have more questions about the course but I shouldn't spam them all now and I feel bad troubling a stranger to help me in making a decision. If you have some spare time and don't mind helping me out, I'll really really appreciate it! Cheers
