      I'd say it depends on the class.. Most people I know aren't friends with the people they met during frosh.. I met most of my friends either from clubs or in class.. I would encourage you to take classes with few people (30 students) so you can meet people more easily.. But other than that, I'd suggest talking to people in your first year (even if it's hard) because everyone is in the same situation and trying to find friends ! Also it helps if you find people taking the same courses as you, so you can create study groups and get closer like that !

    Is IB worth it?

    • @NathanWu
      @NathanWu  4 года назад +5

      Speaking for myself, I chose not to do IB as there was no appeal for me. But I would reflect on what benefits you think you can get out of the program, that you can't receive in regular academic stream, and then decide whether it's worth it. Hope that helps!

      I'm currently going through the IB, Im about to head into my last year of it, and I will say that it doesn't make a drastic difference but it has helped me feel a lot more prepared for university. Its stressfull but does give you a lot of advantages because it tests your independance and work ethic while making sure you can handle the workload. Its made me a stronger student and prepared me in ways my freinds outside of the program might not be, but at the end of the day it doesn't mean they're any less capable. If you're looking for an extra challenge than IB can be that but the program is totally doable at the same time
