i've nv gotten to see NTU's convocation (i believe it's pretty boring..), but nccu make everyone notice theirs cos they are to blast music and march across the campus early in the morning at 7am such that those staying in the hostel within the school will definitely be notified.. (thank god my hostel is outside the school compund..)
graduation is another event that calls for photo-taking and hence we shall not miss the opportunity...
but since we are exchange students, don't really know many graduating students, so we had fun taking photos among ourselves nonetheless.. :P
congratulations Wanyu on completing her bachelor's degree in NCCU and all the best in doing her master's starting september..
a bachelor's degree is nothing much here becos lots of them would go on to do master's degree.. seems to be a trend here.. some do it because they still do not know what career they want, some do it because they still do not want to get a job or think that the job market is weak.. of course there are those that truly has the passion for it..
someone once told me, in taiwan 大學高中化，研究所大學化
and i think the trend is so also becos of their pursuit to get in a good uni regardless of what course they are offered.. every course has their own so-called cut-off grade and they can fill up to 100 courses that they want based on their high school results.. so whenever we ask people in nccu ‘你爲什麽會想要念這個系？’, their standard answer will be ‘因爲剛好填志願選上。’ many go thru uni not doing what they really want to do, so they feel lost when they complete their degree..
so in a way it's good that singapore onli has 3 unis, then the notion of wanting to get into a 'branded' school is not that great and we can choose based on what we really want to do.. (or so i think)
