-._._.- Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ask us any general questions and we'll try our best to answer them. Like our uni experiences, etc.If you want some that are geared towards certain disciplines or certain countries, you might have to wait a while.p.s. I'm not sure how well this will work out. 4 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jeeves Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Were there any subjects that you found prepared you especially well for university? My teachers keep going on about history but I'd like an actual student's opinion. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmi Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Were there any subjects that you found prepared you especially well for university? My teachers keep going on about history but I'd like an actual student's opinion.I was prepared going into chemistry and math. You could definitely tell the difference from students who had taken (and did well in) advanced science classes in high school versus those that had a very weak foundation. I am not required to take a history course and haven't through this point (yay college that accepts credits), so it might be best to ask a student who's taken history. All the other subjects I took I didn't have to take again. Also when my second year writing course teacher said that we had to write a 10 page essay for our final exam, I was one of the few people who didn't freak out initially, since my EE was like 18 pages long.How does the uni workload compare to the IB's?Depends on your area of study. Some are a lot more intensive than others. I have a high workload because I'm in engineering, but it varies. This week I have a very light workload where the only thing I have due this week is a quiz and a midterm with no homework really, whereas last week I had two midterm exams back to back on top of lots of other things. I do more work in uni than I did in IB, but I have to. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money isn't a problem. thanks in advance.I think you should apply to both Oxford and Cambridge because then everyone will think you're super smart and when you finish university as a lawyer who paints pictures of math equations everyone will give you all the jobs and money 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps do undergrad at one and then grad at the other? Though that is a guaranteed massive workload and competition. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
