We love hearing advice from YOU GUYS! Keep the comments going! Also, follow our Instagram for more exclusive content: instagram.com/unfiltered.sg/
Once Shakti has his 4th soju , I'll change my religion to follow this smu soju cult. All hail 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Its kinda interesting like how yall managed to gather these students from different uni to share their perspectives especially with regards to career path. Honestly, everyone is just being relatable. Hope you guys post more videos!
Keep a look out for more! :)
well, the 4 on the couch all took aviation, from rp i think?
So i can kinda see how they managed to get them
Out of all the languages my brother on the right could’ve spoken, he chose to speak facts. Respect that dude
Rlly liked the way Shakti phrased his sentences and how he expressed them esp (10:57 ) what he said about there is no definite path in life set for you after you get your degree, most of time it’s societal pressures that stops you and other external factors - the main point is sometimes the way we are made to think should be our greatest takeaway when we graduate ( so things like soft skills etc )
Why can so many people???. And without wearing mask too
And never keep a safety distance too
@@pokeriabhrnftan7488 lol u seriously trying enforce the law on a video?
Get off the internet kid.
The last person really gave a voice to many people.
man on the right just enjoying his soju
Soju is life 😄
If the video is taken that we don't needs wear mask is ok. But if needs to wear mask and keep a safety distance. A university student's is a bad example
That, my friend, is a true blue SMU student :)
as an a level student this year having sort of a midlife crisis i really want to thank shakti for his words in 22:18 :) thank you for this vid!!
University education is not so much on academics. It's main objective and curriculum is to mould one to be more analytical, sociable, and the ability to handle some stress. As such, its never the grades you achieve in your university but the learning and character building process you go through during the life in the university. A degree certificate will only help you as a stepping stone to your first job. After that, its just a paper hidden in your cabinet. What make you successful in life is your character and integrity. So don't bother which university you go to but enjoy and treasure the journey.
Very nicely said Wei Chiang!
Uh no. It is just a shit education
very insightful video. thank you for coming up with this 😁
Honestly rather than BA being to "wide", i'd say BA has a huge range of niche specializations people just don't know about. That's fair enough, since there's no need to know about it especially if you're not interested in taking business. However, if you are interested in taking a business degree, know that BA can range from HR to marketing to business analytics to BnF, all of which are extremely different and this applies even after taking a specialization! For BnF, theres PE/VC, IB, HF, restructuring, etc etc. For marketing, theres UI/UX, social media marketing, physical marketing etc. Even for business analytics there's people focused on coding and people moving into quant fin. (can't say much about HR cause.. well I don't have any HR friends HAHA) Yes, there are transferrable skills but you could probably ask anyone in any of the fields and they could already tell you how different each of them are :^) no hate, just sharing in case anyone here is considering taking a BA! :D
It’s damn hard to get in. Maybe that’s why it’s out of scope for them
pretty fun people and conversation! thanks for the content :)
Watch out for more soon! :)
Honestly, the culture is so much different compare to Singapore and Malaysia in terms on choosing our university. We, as a Chinese Malaysian, often choose to study overseas or private sector rather than local one. Just sharing haha I know that Singapore local universities ranked quite high in worldwide list. Singapore really provide higher education system to their citizens 👍🏻
v gd video but the sheesh-ing dam cringe
If I'm not wrong starting pay actually helps determine to some extent career progression and your next pay should you decide to change companies..so I guess while we cannot be too demanding, we also have to know how to value our skillset and be able to negotiate for better salaries?
i love their energy with each other
The energy they have with each other is lit AHAHAH and they really speak the truth!! Despite the institutional and societal challenges, just choose the course that suits your interest and you’ll find what you wanna do in life
Seems quite clear the course matters more than university. You can be from NTU FASS but starting salary $3.0k whereas SIT computer science will be earning median $4.4k
Hmm, not really. If you get into tech, your pay will be higher than the rest regardless of uni or course. (Good tech, not blood sucking tech companies)
@chae Yeah thats why I said the course matters more than university. But lets be real, same course and diff uni does matter. There are reasons why certain unis consistently earn much more than others in the same course. (One of them is target schools, just look at the sheer number of HFTs appearing in NUS. There's JS, HRT, Citadel etc) And you should know, for tech the pay range varies greatly, so its best to maximize your chances.
Tbh... SIT looks at diploma. I believe most people (and I am one of them, among some other schoolmates as well) want to enter Air Transport Management, but we were not given due to the poly diploma (its like a specialization). We entered in another course that is more related. Whichever the case (Im not complaining), we just move on with it.
like and agree with the things they shared but the excessive sheesh-ing makes me wanna dislike this video. gosh.
Would love to see a student from top tier course (NUS law/ med/ CS) invited to see his/her thoughts!
"Trimester is a pain in the ass"
Agreed.
SIT is about training your time management! Cries in Trimester system
I don't really feel the big difference between trimesters and normal semesters. I was from NTU and transferred to SIT. Feels like the instead of working or doing internship during your summer break, you just study instead haha
@@blizzaroxxx I know its just the study pace is faster than in the semester system.
@@blizzaroxxx It depends on the course too. CS @ SIT using trimester system is crazy.
maybe to facilitate our 8-month long IWSP
It'd be nice if you time-stamp the questions!
I kinda wish u asked them why they choose to go to uni after getting a diploma?
this was funny and insightful i like it AHAHHA
out of curiosity - can we have more diversity in their pre-U backgrounds too? like IP vs JC vs poly, or people who took the longer route (JC --> poly --> uni)
Going to BBA (acc) at nus this year and I would say that I applied to all 3 just to see which is the nearest school to my house lol... Would take smu if the school fees were not so expensive. Currently on a pay 50% out of my work earnings arrangement.(did a gap year also).
Why would you choose smu instead if not for the school fees?
This wouldve been a cooler video if these uni kids were not speaking in tiktok language - its not a personality trait 😩
Lies again? UFC NASCAR USD SGD
Which camera is the best in the whole world?
SMU and soju best combi
SIT is the best of all the local colleges for computer engineering. With excellent faculty and a practical learning approach, graduates can quickly transition into IT jobs.
omg i always thought school of science and technology was a sports complex
Why am i watching this why 2.3 GPA
aye temasek poly!
aiya, of course each of you will say good things about your uni lah.
SMU guy spitting out straight facts.
physio student (y1) from SIT here, yeah the trimester system is insane. dont get vibe checked. also start bringing your own food to school, especially if you get posted to go SIT main campus near one north mrt
Ya the Trimester system is the only bad thing in SIT haha.
Not necessarily u need bring ur own food to sch for lunch. Sometimes we go to one nth fusionopolis there to have lunch there. There's koufu, Korean cuisine, ya kun, chi noodle shop and there's Takagi Ramen. And the best is there is Chi cha San chen BBT!
@@astrid_sol3364 omg yes HAHAHA but my group q lazy to walk its like 15min walk omtian. sometimes we go over to NUS tho!
@@astrid_sol3364 and the fact that there isnt a proper campus (main campus coming up in 2023)
@@johnwig285 it's still okay for freshies next year. They still got chance to study at the new campus unlike us the seniors...
True on the selection process though
Sad they didn't include private local university like SIM
There would be a lot to mention eg PSB MDIS EASB Kaplan James Cook and so on.
This episode is just about LOCAL Unis. I’m sure they’re gonna do one on private unis next ☺️
Yeah I’m hoping they include an episode where private universities are represented too!!
A good student's is willing to learning willing to listening 🎧 willing to ask questions will to solving the problems not matter which university. And if they problem can not be solved they will ask their professor to let's them have the knowledge what is going on, why the problems can not be solve. And after professor teaching, they will get to know more knowledge and skill
raymondd lets go
Can see the Big 3's superiority from this video, i relate to the reaction of that SUSS girl in the video...I'm not sure, but... "Don't look at them, look at us" well, it hit me quite a bit though they're just talking abt hall life... Thought i still have a bit of hope in SUSS, guess not... 😅
I'm planning to study Communications, I'm quite confused when it comes to deciding between NUS, NTU and other public universities in Singapore. Can I have some suggestions?😢❤
Is this video targeted at polytechnic students? Interesting that all 6 were polytechnic graduates, I was expecting some diversity
Nope! Raymond and Shakti is not from poly! :)
@@Unfiltered thanks for the correction, I must have missed the part where they mentioned where they were from previously
edit: seems like the 2 of them did not mention where they were from. should have let them talk about why they chose the course and also about JC, like how those from poly were given time to talk about poly.
Every school is a good school. It is just so that there is a social stigma, which is the reason why everybody wants to be in the Top 3
Its top 3 for a reason. Its not a social stigma. It is harder to get into these universities
Nope. They let anyone in these days. Average sg uni student is not that smart anyways
@@friktogurg9242 good grades =/= smart. Bad grades =/= local uni.
@@itsnotcrazylol396 "Bad grades =/= local uni." LOL sure.
@@friktogurg9242 LOL uptron diploma
Go where you can graduate with first class honors! Most times, people chose courses and university according to specific occupational roles. That is often misconceived. For eg, u do not need a degree in banking n finance to work for a bank. Banks hire accountants, lawyers, mathematicians, computer/IT people, real estate grads, sales n marketing grads, n etc.
First class honors to evidence that you are achievement-oriented, smart, n industrious.
I mean they are right in the sense that if they want to be a banker, they need a degree in banking n finance.
SUSS is the best cuz
*its sus*
Where SIM :(
In your phone
10:10 that nod when the lao jiao speaks
So young. I feel old liao. Gen Z's about to take over!
There's no such thing as best, because every uni specialises in different subjects. But variety wise ofc NUS and NTU wins. SMU is better at business, the other 3, probably social sciences
SUTD doesn't even have social scienecs tho. It is literally an engineering school.
@@Moon-iz8wc oops guess i didnt know much about the other 3 then. I only know ntu nus smu
@@Moon-iz8wc i know ntu specialises in engineering. their engineering is top notch in the world
@@renderz8435 I only know your LANJIAO
@@kennethmajorSG you're. and if you meant 'your' then what is it?
Biased, in my view, NTU is the best out of the 3 (now that they have a medical school and a teaching hospital at TTSH). But basically, it's up to the faculty strengths that should matter. Engineering, I think College of Engineering at NTU is the best, very focused. NUS has a strong medicine faculty, quite proven. Then you have those from SMU for social sciences. Depends on what you want to study.
My preference is NTU, it's just the environment and the entrepreneurial setup seems much better, but depends on what you want to pursue.
bruh theres a reason why alot people grad from local and cant get job. Not stacking internship/ bad CAP. People tend to say CAP dont matter but the thing is that it does. Because from personal experience of interning at quite a big mnc what i realize is that all the interns have at least a CAP of above 4. So it a bloody lie when they say CAP dont matter in finding job ~ personal skills only matter when u can even get thru the first level of filter which basically is ur CAP ... lol
yes chee kiat, YES!!!!! trimester = uni on steroids
Why make the Polo dude sit on the sofa when there's so much space at the back? The lady in white is clearly feeling uncomfortable.
NUS law is ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
8:24 such cringe...
The short girl is a drinker. 😅😅
lol i have enrolled in both SMU and SUSS before. HUGE HUGE HUGE Difference. the standard in SUSS is really subpar(no offence to anyone) as compare to the big 3 uni . no way to compare at all man. i have did many research and review all their delivery of the course. suss is the easiest to pass ( i wouldn't talk about acing).
NUS SMU NUS standards are way too big a difference as compared to suss and SUTD.
obviously different course have different ranking in the UNIs.
but if i were to rank the big 3 overall(ly), i will rank NUS -> NTU -> SMU.
SIT, SUSS and SUTD still a long way to go. maybe in another few decades. but if were to rank, SIT --> SUTD--> SUSS
The fact that u use passing as a yardstick as a measure of quality speaks volume in ur flawed assessment. Last time when NTU just started, ppl like u were saying that it is easier than NUS, now look where it is at. Not to mention, at the rate SMU is rising, if it wasnt for the fact that one of the major factors in uni rankings is research output which SMU doesnt focus on, coupled with the fact that it is younger than NUS & NTU, it would've been ranked above both NTU & NUS. There's a reason why some who gain admission into NUS were rejected by SMU, while the other way round is a rare case. NUS only cares abt ur grades. U only need to get outstanding grades and dont need technical skills and essential factors like business acumen unlike SMU. Not to mention, u have definitely underestimated SIT & SUTD a lot. SITs curriculum is way more specialised than NUS & NTU which have a lot of unnecessary "general modules" which could've been spent on a proper specialisation instead of merely throwing in a few electives. The problem with SIT is simply marketing and their admission process. To get into NUS com sci, all u need is good grades. A few friends got As, werent even interested in the field yet they got in. I even helped them do their assignments because it was easier than mine. Meanwhile, to get into SIT, u have a general interview, group observation session and a project showcase. This weeds out many A level applicants and as such isnt a popular choice for A level students when they perceive that a certain uni has more poly kids than jc kids. SUTD is co-developed by MIT and emerged as one of the top young engineering universities. SUSS does away with the conventional system of focusing on exam and instead focus on application of skills. Because the purpose of learning is to apply into real-life, not to mug like siao just to pass an exam.
In 10 years: SMU>SUTD>NUS/NTU>SIT>SUSS
@@johnwig285 For real no way SMU will rank higher than NUS and NTU ever. Firstly, SMU is limited in their research studies, they only have departments in social sciences, economics, business and computing (to a certain extent). In no logical way will SMU be able to match the level of research the institutes in NUS and NTU are churning out. And just so you know, universities aren't just about their undergraduate department, and a lot of it has to do with their research institutes which SMU has the least as compared to NUS and NTU. NUS and NTU have whole buildings and departments dedicated to research and their post-graduate programmes are much more diverse and larger than SMU.
SMU all in all is a management university which i guess is trying to expand. But it does not have the facilities nor does it have the talent that NUS and NTU have (yet again I'm talking about research staff not students so get a hold of yourself) to produce that level of output.
Stop acting like a partial and un-biased comment when your last sentence is literally a blanket statement. You only need outstanding grades and dont need technical skills or essential factor??? Uhm last time i checked when i apply to SMU i got the offer and a scholarship directly without needing to go for any aptitude test or anything? All SG universities are the same. Grade above everything else, don't park SMU above it like its some sort of anomaly. A 4.0 GPA poly grad and a 90RP jc graduate will be able to pass through the admission round easily for all 3 universities. And don't fight technical, because SMU has the least technical education amongst the 3 universities (due to its focus on management which isnt a bad thing, but yet again it requires the least technical knowledge). Cheers.
@@roy4816 hi... just to correct you a little. my friends (more than one) of 3.8-4 GPA was heavily wanted by NUS/NTU but they got rejected by SMU.. sorry to say. It is true that SMU actually looks much beyond grades when they are interviewing you. they honestly could care less abt your highass grades and they see beyond that
@@hepburnsss2776 Please read the conversation throughly before arguing please.
1.) I was not talking about the difficulty of entering the uni, I am talking about the university ranking
2.) University ranking does not dictate how competitive it is to enter university, it just ranks a university based off various indicators.
And based off these indicators, it is difficult and impossible for SMU to beat NUS and NTU in rankings. Not because SMU is bad, but because of the age and nature of the university.
Im not even looking at factors that affect undergraduates (which your friend probably is). so your argument is completely irrelevant.
@@roy4816 um please read your own comment before replying others... quoted from you, "Uhm last time i checked when i apply to SMU i got the offer and a scholarship directly without needing to go for any aptitude test or anything?
