SEP

okay something apart from my usual dronings, i've been offered an SEP place at University of Durham (UK)!

My parents seem pretty supportive but i have the following reservations:

1. it's a full year SEP.
2. module mapping. if i can't map my design project there, all bets are probably off. i am so definitely NOT going to do design project concurrently with FYP :P
3. hall. i will miss out on year 3 when that will be the time when my batch will be the most active in hall. i may or may not be able to come back in year 4 (which i'll need for fyp)...
4. Going for SEP will freeze my cap and based on my calculation, if i go even a 2-1 will be out of the question. to push to 2-2, i will have to work very hard during my FY...
5. And of course, financial considerations. But hey, i won't get this chance again... if i want to go there for my Postgrad it will cost even more...

Anyway, the deadline to accept the offer was today, so I accepted it provided the module mapping goes smoothly...

Edit: It did not, there are simply too many problems especially with the selection of modules and the mapping of MCs. For this reason, NUS FoE has not sent any student to Durham University before
