I stumbled on this on my feed and it was really interesting to watch! Super interesting for those of us who are making your lives hell (or otherwise) see a bit of insight into what your student experience is like

[ryanshi]

this was very insightful Victor! I'd love another video on courses if you had the time :)

[sebbydaking]

I've been looking at degrees now as a yr12 student (mainly computer science + software engineering) and I came across your video on reddit :)
That part about the coop scholarship was perfect to hear lol considering my careers advisor sent a notification of it and I got pretty excited but now I see why it might not be the best choice lol
This was super insightful overall nice video :D

Waited 9 mins to hear about runsoc 😂 but you have done much, congrats again for graduating! 🎉

[Lublyjay]

Great vid bro!…quite the journey man. Starting my first year at UNSW this year doing Comp sci. Looking forward to it :)

I remember doing 1521 in 2nd year. Dropped it before census cos idk wtf was going on, then picked it up in 3rd and scored an 80. I think if you just don't know wtf is going on before week 4, then dropping it is the best decision provided you are in the position to do so

[JohnnyBGSkills]

Congrats G! 🌎🔥⚡Quite the journey man. Happy new year and kudos on the YT banner bro!

I've been doing my aerospace eng course now 6 years at UNSW, in my 7th year now because of work commitments. Can't wait to graduate!

[duriandaniel]

Hey man, I am considering transferring to UNSW in term 3. I am a first year USYD student and while it is alright, I believe the culture at UNSW seems more vibrant and many of my friends were going there (barely any went to USYD). It was my first preference initially for a bachelor of psychology (using this as premed). I picked USYD over UNSW initially since I thought it would be more convenient for me to get there but only now did I realise that they are only like 10 minutes apart, but it was too late. They are not too different in quality of education in psychology I heard. Usyd has been alright so far and I have met some friends in here but I am constantly thinking of switching in term 3. Is it easy for a transfer student to make friends? I also have major FOMO since I felt that I missed the critical period of meeting people such as O-week, camps and in general the first 2 terms so I am scared everyone would already have groups of friends by then. Also is it worth transferring?

Dropping a coop scholarship at UNSW. You're actually built different.

Hey Victor, amazing video! I am planning to take Software Engineering at UNSW, are there any differences between Software Engineering and Computer Science? Also, I don't really have programming experience, will that be ok as well?

[bengodw]

Did extending your degree affect your ability to secure internships at all? I’m doing cs math at UNSW and I’m thinking of a term off but worried it’ll put me a year behind in terms of internships. Thanks so much.

[anishsaraogi]

This was really great to watch! I am joining UNSW as a transfer student in my third year, do you think I'll be able to do even half of the things that you did, and also, what advice do you have for me? My third year starts in Term 3, 2022.

[HunterKoba]

Just got an conditional offer for BE Computer Engineering. I am gonna come over there👌

[devamjain]

Hey Victor, thanks for the great video!

I'm still confused as to why you decided to drop the co-op scholarship? Are there any conditions to being a co-op scholar?

[minnahkhan]

loved the vid! For comp science, is unsweetened better than Monash? Its very confusing
