- Ever wondered what the actual Computing students think about Computing? Same. To my fellow incoming Computing Freshies, welcome to the School of Computing, where we make memes about our mental torment and anguish.
Do note that this video is pure entertainment and is not meant to represent the opinions of Computing students in general.

Hi there, I'm Daryl, commonly referred to as Dargo, and I'm a 3rd year Computing student/degen/shitposter studying in the National University of Singapore. Currently trying to find an internship if not I can't graduate. Feelsbad.
I stan the guy in the cat shirt
we stan
we stan
Died at the part where he said exercise for him meant raising his hands higher while typing
Hahaha. Sick vid dude. Graduated CS last year. The last part about going through tough shit and surprising yourself of what you can overcome is good, and my advice is that it doesn't end once you grad :')
indeed
We need a hug. HAHAHA That's the real situation when you are studying Computing.
A Year 3 Student here, currently taking IT from the Philippines.
We need therapy...
@@Dargoyaki Yes we really need a theraphy now.
Hey yo your content and edits are getting better, keep it up man!!!
- your fellow y3 IS student
thanks carl
- your fellow y3 CS loser
HAHAHAHA I like this episode!! And good luck for finals everyone
Having that 3 hours mental breakdown now and watching your video, all the best for all that's left!
we are all just different people with the same experiences... all the best to you too :)

Feel free to share your own answers to the questions in the comments
CS stands for ‘continuous studying’
Intense modules even for TAs :( As PhD students, we have teaching duty. I would rather be a TA for 5k lv modules. Some of my friends who were TAs for 1-3k lv modules told me they spent a lot of time preparing teaching contents. Profs are also enthusiastic about teaching. That might be the reason for intense modules. Haha. And it also makes NUS computing probably the best in Asia :)
The lower level modules are definitely very intense...
nice vid!
Nice persona music in the beginning
You're a cultured person
Hi, great video! May I ask is it recommended for someone who is not really good at coding but have a very basic understanding in coding (like java) to join CS?
in any case I have a lot of friends who had zero understanding of programming when they joined and they seem to be doing fine so far. If anything the most important is whether you have genuine interest or not :)
Life in SOC has never changed since 2004. Super senior here! Coding through the nights then till the morning. Breakfast (after 12 hours continuous coding) never tasted that good!
Doesn't sound too good for health 😅
Mr Year 1 Freshie here. It was a pleasure meeting you outside COM haha!
next time let's have the interview in aircon yea 😜
Is there some kind of test that are programming related when you tried to apply to NUS for SC major?
I matriculated in year 2000 SOC , if this video were to be dated year 2000, it would still be accurate :) , good luck guys 😉
An OG! Thanks Darren :)
Holy shit dude you stay in Sheares? I literally thought there is no CS senior in Sheares lol.
How the hell are you able to juggle between CS assignments and hall commitment there?
(Ask by someone who is probably getting kicked out uWu)
I used to stay in Sheares :P Believe me there are plenty of Computing students in Sheares haha
the network securty is under it or cs
Is IS1103 really that bad? I'm a BZA freshie pre-allocated the mod and I'm panicking...
you'll have to complete it anyway, it's just an annoying module to me
yaassssssss persona music taking over
Fr tho persona music was here from the very start if you see my first video 🤪
wait what does shag means in SG? in the UK we have a very different meaning... lmao
it means tired
I'm... aware of that other meaning 😅 but yes it means being really tired
Matriculating this year n I’m really curious about this, is the competitiveness coming from peers or coming from the environment? Like are students competing with their friends or just trying to get better and better(than yourselves)? I feel like the first one is quite toxic but the second kind is more of a make-you-grow kinda stress. I’m really nervous and anxious about joining (to the point of thinking if I should turn down the offer :/
Different people will have different experiences. I felt that it was competitive and the people were competitive. But I didn't give a shit about how others were doing because it didn't really matter to me, I just needed my CAP to be good enough to graduate.
Even if the first one might apply, I don't think it should bother you anyway because your only concern is yourself mah. If you're already in the mindset of competitiveness to better yourself, anything outside of that is just noise. Don't worry too much, you'll do fine, just like the many CS graduates that have passed through the course. The vast majority of students do not graduate with 1st class honours or 2nd upper for that matter.

LWQ will not be pleased with that 1103 comment HAHA
Actually... the ethics in the computing quite important. For example if you create a system but failed to convince the international authorities, you may not be able to launch your system. Is easy to create but harder to manage. Just like the tracetogether system.
Not downplaying the importance of ethics, just the whole execution of the module itself during my semester was pretty horrid, leaving us barely learning much at all. At least that was my experience 😀
@@Dargoyaki Unlucky
Damn computing kids are depressed, they need a hug.
Mannnnn we need more than hugs. We need therapy 💀
@@Dargoyaki they need *power*
Is it really that bad? I got into nus cs but am having second thoughts about attending :/
I meant for this video to be more about entertainment than anything so don't take it too seriously! There are a lot of positives about NUS CS that I haven't touched on as well. I think ultimately how your experience is like really boils down to how much passion you really have in CS as well as what you prioritise when you're here. Many students in NUS CS care about their grades quite a bit and as such that gives them an added pressure to consistently do well with lesser room for failure. This pressure to do well sometimes feed into those who aren't even that concerned with grades due to this competitive environment.
The key is to really know what you're trying to achieve when you're here and don't work for something that's not really your goal. There's really a lot of value to be gained in NUS CS from the people, the environment and especially the opportunities provided to you by NUS. There's definitely going to be stress but as long as you know how to bounce back from failure and persevere (as well as genuinely having the passion) you'll be good :)
Roby fkin funny sia 😂
Good luck for exams Dargo
thanks Travis although I don't really have many exams
Love the persona 5 theme lol :P
We are all stressed
加油 bro 😎
thanks bro
damn i tink no one's joining computing aft watching this...
Nobody asked but.... im still dying. :")
i like the cat guy :)
we all love the cat guy
Cat shirt guy got the vibes 9:15 had me dying HAHA

Do I need to be a master in vim to succeed in computing? :^)
the real question is what is 69 in binary

Good thing you didn't because that wasn't me lmao
@@Dargoyaki lol cuz the hair 😂
im just trying to figure out what shag means lol
😅 basically in Singapore, we use it when we are really tired, but we are aware of its other meaning as well...
@@Dargoyaki LMAOOO
I guess your work in CS is literally O(n!).
O((n!)^n)
I rarely go to sch so ill never be in these videos :(

Who came here from prof aaron tan
Prof Aaron x Dargoyaki collab let's go
may be shag but computing makes the best memes
we make the best memes... but at what cost?
FLFC!
Oh what the heck...I thought
Students have time and energy but lack money.
Working adults have money and energy but lack time.
Elderly have money and time but lack energy.
You NUS Computing students are extremely busy?
Its not just NUS computing students. Literally Compsci students in general! the struggles real lmao :(((((
