    I had a laptop for first year but by no means is it a necessity. You'll have programming projects to do and a stats project for the second semester. It does help having it though.

    Stats was an exemption this year for first years. Paper was made harder as a result :(

    yea i forgot we did stats in first year as well for part of the exemption - its just that stats in second year is so easy to get the exemptin - makes no difference what you got in first year in theory...
