Yes. I think they gave you a shortlist of things to bring right? Make sure you bring those.

Tip, bring coins (old coins) and big water containers cause you can fill-up water by using the available water dispensers in each hostel. 10 cents per liter.

Yea, 10 cents per liter gua. Not that much also. Cactus 1.5 liter is 1 buck. Yes there is, but not for females I think. I don't think you want to be in a single room, higher price that shared rooms.

Electrical & Electronic Engineering is one of the hardest part of engineering ever. Tough as hell.
Those who could cope with it have my salute.

(1) You sounded like asking what is the easiest medical degree to earn. Traditionally, the phrase “easy to earn” tend to be associated with “half-hearted” impression. Seriously, do you want a half-hearted doctor tend to your health care? If you are asking which engineering degree is the easiest to earn, then probably you aren't ready for an engineering degree. None of them are really easy to earn.

(2) Engineering degree is a problem-solving intensive, maths intensive, time intensive, and detail-oriented field, where they don't allow for mistakes or “half-baked” work. These people are meticulous because they have to be. They don't accept second best on any job.

(3) It is not difficult solve one- or two-dimensional problems. But things are getting more complicated in multivariate problems. Similarly, managing engineering project successfully is both an art and a science and attempts to control and optimize corporate resources within the constraints of time, cost, and performance.

(4) Take Tensor Calculus in Structural Mechanics (Civil Engineering) for example, even Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) had learned about the language of tensors with great difficulty, which he used to formulate General Relativity. To summarize, the word “Easyisn't in the engineer's vocabulary. icon_idea.gif

Yes. Whatever you intend to do, you need passion. Only then, you can move further.

It is a good mindset to begin with. Proceed with your Foundation in Civil Engineering. However, navigating academic life by yourself is not a good idea. Therefore, you must get to know your academic adviser. Contact your adviser whenever you have any questions about your academic life. Your adviser has important information about your course requirements that can help you realize your plans. Advisers can explain why certain courses are required and can identify instructors who will offer the right level of challenge. Confer with your adviser regularly.

Rest assured that Civil Engineering is a manageable undergraduate course. At least, it deals with something tangible where you can see and touch. Mechanics is the oldest and the most highly developed branch of physics. As an important foundation of Civil and Mechanical engineering, its relevance continues to increase as its range of application grows. With your great passion, you will master all the basic concepts and principles of mechanics in this three-volume textbook. icon_rolleyes.gif
