A Day in the Life of a DMC Student

Ever wondered what life would be like as a media student influencing the world? Well, speculate no longer for today I share with you all the mundane, crummy, and occasionally exciting details of the life of a student up the hill.


Diploma in Media and Communication (DMC) is a course related most strongly by the Communications, Arts, and Social Sciences department in SP.


The noisiest of the block we share with students of other faculties, it is no wonder that we have been described as ‘eloquent’, ‘outspoken’ and ‘passionate’ by our lecturers. (Also read as: overly noisy, loud, and argumentative by non-lecturers)


It probably then comes as a surprise to many that DMC students are actually capable of utilizing other forms of prowess besides the tongue, as the power of our legs are not to be looked down upon as we trudge up the hill of despair every morning, afternoon, and night.


It’s a long walk up the CASS’s building’s hill, a place we DMC students groan and mope at which other courses call the “Er Mei Shan”— which can be loosely translated to ‘pretty girl hill’ due to our course’s high population of females, a harem you wouldn’t want to miss.


By the time we’ve finally reached The Agency’s (the classroom for DMC students) doors panting heavily, there is that small spark of either pride or annoyance as the student in question flashes their personal Agency card limited only to DMC students.


Pride due to the exclusivity, annoyance due to the fact that the blasted thing never opens before 8am, when a first class may always start. (If the latter is the case, fear not for you can always try your luck begging a cleaner aunty to let you in.)


With a 2kg Mac in one’s bag the first thing any sane DMC student would do is reach for the closest and most integral part of SP education—a power source for the Mac’s plug for a round of exciting game—studying.


Evidently, after the prolonged usage of the brains and intellect, one must have a break. So it’s up with friends to Food Court 6, an eatery located very conveniently right above The Agency classroom.


Then it’s back to either a round of fervent note typing (this is most commonly seen before assignment submission deadlines and/or examination periods)

And finally with a wave to friends, it’s time to leave the Agency and get to home sweet home.


Here is a video done by our students giving a first-person view of a typical day in DMC.
