7. Burn out in Computing or IT related degrees
Face it: computing is not for everyone. Without interest, it is very difficult to persist and do well. If you have an aversion towards computing modules in poly, it may be a sign that you should not take up the course in
NUS. I know of people who lost interest in technical degrees and end up entering SIM to study Banking, Accounting or Management after completing 6 to 10 months in
NUS. It is a waste of time, effort and money.
Putting aside the brand of the school, exchange program and other peripheral things, the basic objective of taking a degree is to complete it. If you lose your will to complete the degree, those peripheral stuff would not matter.
