Student review [#77811] for Mechanical Engineering
at Nanyang Technological University - NTU

Studying at NTU has its merits, but the intense focus on academics can be overwhelming. While I understand the importance of academic excellence, the pressure to perform can lead to burnout among students. Many of us feel compelled to prioritize grades over genuine learning and personal well-being. The environment fosters competition, which often overshadows collaboration and camaraderie. This emphasis on academic achievement sometimes detracts from exploring extracurricular activities or pursuing personal interests. While it’s important to maintain high academic standards, a more balanced approach could significantly benefit student morale and mental health. I believe the university should consider promoting a healthier academic culture, where students can thrive both intellectually and personally, creating a more holistic educational experience.
