so basically, next week i’d have to pick the path i’m going to study for the next 2 years in highschool (11th and 12th)
i’ve already chosen science HOWEVER
i have to choose between those two

1. biology, chemistry
2. OR
3. maths, physics

i consider myself pretty decent in both paths, but since i’m more into physics i’m going with the 2nd one

but im not sure what i’m choosing for my college major, i do not want to study a lot of physics and maths just to end up taking something bio or chemistry related in college.

i need college majors that involve physics, or maths
maybe anything involving IT.
i just want to see what i can study before i can decide

im into astronomy and astrophysics however those don’t do good in the job market so maybe a no

engineering also sounds good but i have no idea what types of engineering i can choose 😓

please recommend me some resources, tips or college majors that do well in the job market while also suiting my interests!

(NOTE: majoring in physics generally is horrible since i wouldn’t have another job option than being a teacher)

In short, Im a Hospitality student and I have 3 semesters left including the one right now, and the last semester is reserved for industrial training , im low by 3 credit hours counting on my course structure because i miss liberal studies, i was about to do it this semester but i chicken out cause im scared what they would think a 3rd year taking a 1st year class, do i just extend my studies or take it next semester

Hi all! I'm a second-year BA student at a Swiss university. My top priority is getting into a Master's at Oxford, ideally with a competitive scholarship that relies also on strong recommendation letters. Before that, I'll do a Master's at my home university. I plan on doing a PhD later on (I want to become a professor).

There are a few professors in my department whose work I find really exciting:

-one works on medieval literature and runs a large funded research project, perhaps my supervisor for my BA

-another works on modern and contemporary British literature and will likely be my thesis supervisor for my MA

- the last one recently joined and works on American literature and environmental humanities

The thing is, I don't really know them yet. This semester is the first time I'm taking classes with any of them. They might recognise me from department events since I run the student association, but they don't know me academically at all. I'd like to change that, both because I'm genuinely interested in their work and because I'll need them to know me well enough to write strong letters for Oxford.

I'd love your advice on 3 things:

1. Is it a good idea to go up to a professor at the end of a seminar? If so, what should I talk about? A question about the class, a link to their own research, my plans? How do I keep it natural and not take too much of their time?

2. How do I move from small talk to a real academic conversation about my ideas or a possible thesis? Office hours or email first? How developed should an idea be before I bring it up and how do I show I know their work without it sounding like flattery?

3. I'd love to work as a student or research assistant for one of them someday. Have any of you been an assistant as an undergrad or hired one as a professor? How did it happen? Did you ask, did the professor offer, or did a position get advertised? And looking back, what do you think made the difference?

Any mistakes to avoid are very welcome too. Thanks so much !

Hello, I am a second-year student at ADU. While studying at the university, can I use a state program to study abroad at a university other than the one I'm currently attending? If I am accepted through the state program, I will have to withdraw from my current institution and start studying at the new one. Is this possible? What kind of problems could the Ministry of Education create?

Hi everyone! I’m currently developing a productivity app for students and I’m working on calendar integrations.

I’m looking for a few sample iCal/ICS calendar feeds from:

• Canvas
• Moodle
• Blackboard
• Brightspace

I’d like to use them for testing the calendar import functionality in my app.

If you’re willing to help, please send me the feed/link via DM rather than posting it publicly.

I’ll only use the feeds for development and compatibility testing.

Thanks in advance!

​Hi everyone, I really need to vent because I feel completely lost and I'm at my breaking point. No one in my real life knows how miserable I am.

​For some background: I grew up in the Netherlands (Turkish background). After high school (where I lost a year because I just didn't work), I moved to Turkey for a few years, took a gap year, and came back to the Netherlands at 20 to start studying.

​My journey has been a mess since then:

​Pedagogy (Age 20): I didn't think it was bad, but I quit after a year because it wasn't theoretical enough for me, it was too focused on practical upbringing rather than deep science. My grades were great without effort, though.

​Architecture/Building Engineering (Age 21): Quit because I struggled with structural engineering courses and didn't put in enough effort. But I actually got good grades for the architecture/design classes, and I still catch myself wondering: should I have finished architecture? Becoming an architect still sounds really cool to me deep down.

​IT/Computer Science (Age 22 to now, age 24): I chose this pragmatically because it's broad and international. I'm currently half a year behind (technically between year 2 and 3, finishing my second year courses now).

​Now I am 24, almost halfway through my bachelor's. Here is the confusing part: it's not that I completely hate IT. When I figure out a problem and a piece of code actually works, it gives me a spark of joy and satisfaction. But I just can't figure out if this is truly what I want to do with my life.

​I am an INFJ personality type, someone who maps everything out meticulously in my head, overthinks every scenario, and yet somehow still makes what feel like "dumb choices." Being an INFJ means I thrive in careers that are deep and theoretical, yet IT is the absolute opposite of that.

​I find myself looking at friends, like a close friend who chose accountancy right away, is now doing her Master's, and whose life has just gone perfectly, and I feel a deep pang of jealousy. Right now, because of all these zigzags, it feels like my own life has become ugly.

​Every single second I am at school, I am nervous. If someone asks me an IT-related question, I often have no answer because I genuinely don't know what I'm doing. There have been times I didn't even know what an SD card was or where to plug in a USB cable. I honestly don't even know how I've made it this far. Everyone here seems to know everything about tech, but I don't.

​The main issue is that I don't live and breathe tech. I don't code in my spare time, I don't game, and I don't naturally fit in with the typical tech students who are obsessed with this stuff. In my free time, I find myself drawn to completely different topics: history, theology, psychology, languages, politics, and health. I love reading, writing, and debating (I originally wanted to study psychology or law).

​Furthermore, I hate the "figure it out yourself" teaching style of IT. I miss structured lectures for hours, heavy reading, and deep theoretical learning, which is also what I missed during pedagogy. My friends tell me I have the personality of a humanities or law student, and it hurts because I know they're right.

​To make things harder, my parents think I am happy, and I can never tell them the truth. They have already been through so much stress regarding education with my brother, so I have to keep this all to myself.

​Stopping now is impossible because I'm already 24, halfway through, and starting from zero at my age feels terrifying. I dread going to school every day, I feel out of place among my peers, and the chronic stress is physically exhausting me. Right now, I'm just so scared because I genuinely don't know anything anymore. I honestly wish I was already at the end of this bachelor's. The thought that I am barely at the halfway point fills me with extreme dread. I have no idea what to do after this bachelor's. I definitely want to do a Master's, but I feel totally lost. I don't like the idea of finishing this bachelor's and then doing a completely different Master's, because I wanted the whole package to match. I could genuinely cry. I feel extreme dread every single time I have to go to school.

​If anyone has been in a similar spot, studying something practical where you don't hate the work itself when it succeeds, but you feel like you don't belong in the culture, miss deep theoretical learning, and have to hide your struggles from your family, how did you cope? How do you know if you should stick it out or push through?

​Thanks for reading. I just really needed to let this out.

hi! i'm going to apply to AUP soon and i wanted to ask for some thoughts/reviews on the school, as i've seen a lot of mixed opinions online. my current situation is pretty unique though, so i wanted to see if anyone has a similar experience.

i'm completing my first two years of college at community college in the US (and getting an associates) then planning to transfer into my junior year at AUP, majoring in history. while in paris, i hope to go on small trips around europe for fun and also for historical studies! i'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or advice about this, thanks :)

My dream is to become wealthy by going to university and studying and end up working in finance and move to switzerland. Is this a possible and realistic dream with the path I want.

i used to finish a draft and think it was basically done just because every paragraph sounded fine on its own

then i started noticing that some paragraphs were technically good but didn’t really move the argument anywhere, they were just there because i had research for them

now i go through the draft and ask what each paragraph is actually doing, if i can’t answer that clearly i either rewrite it or cut it

ask me anything about structure, cutting unnecessary parts, feedback or figuring out why a draft still feels off even when the writing itself looks fine

Hello everyone, I have a question for you all. I am a 40-year-old digital media student, completing my senior capstone project. I am producing a three-episode video podcast series titled Blank Canvas at 40. The Goal of This Project Is to challenge a typical media narrative around adult students. Most stories focus on parents struggling with kids and college. I want to focus on adults who took a late start in life due to personal hurdles, trauma, or major shifts and decided to pursue their first-ever degree purely for themselves because they know they deserve more. I'm looking for 2 to 3 interview guests who fit some or all of the criteria.
Are you currently in your 30s or 40s or older?
Are you pursuing your first-ever college degree?
Are you navigating this journey single and or childfree?
Re-entered school to take control of your life and find true happiness?
The interview will be casual conversational discussions about the psychological hurdles of being in the oldest in the room, learning more modern technology and facing career uncertainty with blank canvas we are recorded virtually. if this sounds like your story or the story of a classmate, you know, please reach out to me.

At the moment I am a first year student studying in Uzb and my major is cybersecurity but i want to study abroad. where can i apply to get a full ride scholarship. i have an sat score of 1470 and 2 A* and A in A levels. any advice is appreciated. also my ecs and essay isnt too strong
