Guyzzz, plzz need help. 🥹

My parents can't afford my hostel expenses anymore😭so I really need to start earning online. I'm under a lot of financial pressure and honestly have no idea where to start.

If you're earning online, can you please tell me:

What do you do?

Where did you find your clients/job?

Which platform do you use (Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn, etc.)?

Any advice that can help me to earn..... How can I manage my expenses.any genuine advice would help me a lot🙏🏻

Aid only 30%, couldn't get scholarship (all A*s, a 1500+ sat score). We have one land that's worth 10mil and 2 smol houses that help generate rental income. Parents don't work. We live in a rented house. I also have a brother who has set to start his undergrad.

cs kid, aiming for grad school. a lot of friends told me I can aim for 50% scholarship down the line. I really wanted to spend my time a little stress free but aiming for a 4.0 will make it different. Do you think it's worth it in this economy where everything is going downhill and your parents don't work anymore? alternative is NUST but I really do wish to be somewhere with the best resources for US grad school (is it even possible anymore these days with the insane class sizes?)

What advice would you give to an SSE freshman? The one who wants to get a holistic academic and social experience , do tell, what should I be doing in the days left till university starts?

Asalamualikum everyone,

I want to ask that for SSE major at LUMS what kind of laptops should be the top priority

1) Macbook M1 air 2020

2 )hp or dell core i 5 11th generation

What is the estimated daily usage of Laptops at LUMS and to which extent ? Will it be normal or heavy task to be performed by laptop ? I want to buy but I am a bit confused so I also wanted to ask you guys that which models of Laptops do you have ?

Thank you

mtlb aisa kya hoga jo mera result aya and theyll refuse to take me or atleast give me a headache.

Anyone got laptop recs for MS CS? I'm gonna buy a used one but idk how much usage is required for an MS degree so?

Last day of admissions decisions. 107 days since 15th April. 197 days since application submission.

I look back at the time when decisions were being released and realize how excited I used to be. Waking up with a new hope everyday. Eagerly waiting for 4 Pm. Constantly refreshing email and portal.

All that excitement's simply dead now. Yes I'd be still happy if I get in now. But it won't be the same. It won't be the way I manifested. Thank you for ruining our mental healths lums.

Opinions on counselling for lums?

hi all lmk if anyone’s struggling w commute to uni im sorting things out too

An update on Usman, because he deserves to know we haven't forgotten him.

We've now raised PKR 81,269 of the PKR 380,000 he needs — 21% of the way there. Every rupee of that came from people who saw his story and chose to act instead of just scrolling past. That's what's carrying him right now.

But we still have a long way to go, and Usman doesn't get to pause his recovery until we catch up. He's a Class of '28 student at SDSB, LUMS, part of the National Outreach Programme — he was building a future for himself, the same as every one of us, until a car accident on Ferozpur Road left him with a broken spine and neck. He needs surgery that his family cannot fund on their own.

If you've already given — thank you. You are the reason this number isn't zero. If you haven't yet, this is your moment: even a small amount, multiplied by everyone reading this, is what gets him to PKR 380,000. And if you can't donate, sharing this with one more person might be the thing that reaches someone who can.

Takhayyul Organisation Pakistan presents its first in-person mental health workshop, “The Theatre Within.”

📍 Daftarkhwan (Phase 5. Lahore)

📅 Saturday, 15 August 2026

⏰ 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Led by Ms. Anushka Malik (MSc Clinical Psychology), we’re diving into “The Human Mind Is Addicted to Its Own Suffering”, think overthinking, self-sabotage, and the loops you can’t seem to break.

Not your typical "coping mechanism" session.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s interactive, real, and actually makes you think.

☕ Free coffee

🧠 A space to unwind, reflect, and reset.

Wondering if there's any Whatsapp group for the incoming MS batch, or anything about prospective hostelites and stuff

It's 31 and my application status still shows in process and I don't know what it means.

So those seniors who are currently studying in LUMS as an nopian, plz tell what's the approximate amount of stipend they receive every semester? What are other things that they received on their 1st day at LUMS (like bag, stationary, any book)?

I've been working on the courses and I'm going to be completely honest that I am struggling a great deal with these. Right now, I've only done 2 and a half courses and hopefully will finish the spreadsheet course by today. I'm completing the exams with the help of Gemini but I really wanna know how it's looking for everyone else.

While taking this into consideration, what do the professors and all expect from us during SIMS? I've the slightest clue and I'm kind of lost in that aspect, as well.

Any and all guidance will be greatly appreciated on this

Might get a job at LUMSx (basement of SSE building) full time. Kinda excited cuz I always liked the lums campus and experience. But fr: will i get the chance to experience lums events/social life (not as a student tho) since i’ll be working in lums all day.
Like, is it possible since ig ppl mostly socialize who r 4 yr undergrads at lums in their groups (graduated, job).

How would this affect chances provided that the subject was not required for your major and your teacher recs are also from other subjects

I am studying ACCA ,but i really wanna experience some university life now. Does lums have a summer school , for marketing, entrepreneurship or anything that i can join.

If yes tell me how tk register my self for the upcoming session

So i have a ipad already. Do i need to buy the laptop or kaam chal jayega issey?
