Student review [#42751] for Data Science
at The University of Melbourne - UoM

I believe that stepping into the university life is tough, and it wasn’t the truth until my second semester in my first year. One of the biggest reason why it was not as difficult as it should be could be excused by 1) I worked extremely hard during my first semester, hence the first semester lacked challenges or 2) My first semester was an illusion. I have always defined myself with grades and my second semester gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone, I am still very much insecure and constantly seeks academic validations, but the staffs are supportive and the environment created by the people surrounding me were nothing less than dreamy. It is tough and I do not expect it to get easier, but I was able to now grasp concepts I thought I never could and apply these skills. I am motivated to start my own project and I have learnt to reject the thoughts that I could never be able to handle so many things at once.
