Yes but groupings are obviously different by age group and school time table

The uni probably should have this at the freshmen orientation as well so that the FYP success rate is higher.
FYP is not final year project but find your partner.... -

[quote=\"ngl2010\"]What is this batch dance? Slow dance? Line dancing? If no need to be a pair and look at each other's eyes or touch each other then no need to worry. Otherwise :nailbite:
the common game is they eat apple together without hand .......
iFireFly and slmkhoo, please let us know if it is still true this year.[/quote]it's not. the games do have a bit of 'contact', cos that's what makes it exciting and fun, but at most it's just tying legs together or smth like that! the dance is not too touchy either, you can watch the past few orientation batch dance videos on youtube.

We missed the trails today. Was intending to find out more about the Interact Club as the ri.edu.sg is not very clear about the days/times of meetings.

The rationale is such that you are not allowed to join 2 service CCAs. It's not just interact and council, it's also CA, etc.
I know that both council and Interact will be too heavy a load. That's not my question. My questions are the \"what-ifs\":pirated:
Interact in RI is no same as those other JC. Not trying to belittle others but the RI interact does a lot a lot more

1. What if a student obediently doesn't try for Interact, then doesn't get into council - is there a way to apply later?
2. What if a student doesn't declare that he wants to run for council, tries and gets into Interact, then says that he intends to stand for council and will withdraw from Interact if he gets elected - is there any penalty? (other than a guilty conscience)
1. No.
2. The policy in interact is such that once you decide to campaign for council, you are out of the CCA, regardless of whether or not you are successful in the end. in a sense it's to provide fairness. If you already have the intention of running for council, it's best to sort your priorities out soon, because if you do quit interact halfway and run off, not only does it give a bad impression, it's also unfair to other people because you just took their cca spot. -
CCA is competitive and serious in RI. these are meant to be as close to real world as possible, including how you approach it

There's a counseling dept, fyi -
Thank you for all the explanation on batch dance. I watched some YouTube and they only hold hands for a few seconds. But I can imagine the awkwardness during practice
