I have been seeing a lot of posts regarding how bad trimester are on Reddit and people who post it seem to be in a very bad mental state. I am thinking of doing engineering here and am a bit worried about this. Does anyone have insights into this, specifically for engineering courses with the trimester system if possible?

i don’t think anyone likes trimesters. simply put they make things compressed needlessly and increase stress compared to semesters, arguably there are some advantages in that you have greater variety of courses at a given time, slightly more flexibility and content is slightly more accelerated, but overall not worth the trade off at all imo. plenty of people still get by fine at unsw though, and similalrly a lot of people at other unis are also really stressed and in a bad mental state. i’d consider it as a factor to not choose unsw but, if you really want to go there, it shouldn’t prohibit you from doing so at all
