Is FAST really as good as people claim it is? Why should I pick it over IBA? (for CS) How's the standard of education, socialization and quality of life on campus? What kind of friends will I make?
FAST is the top as far as CS is concerned, you'll find mostly FAST winning in the various programming competitions held in Pakistan, but the biggest advantage of CS from FAST is the highly established network alumini in the industry. The standard of education is good (as in all unis some teachers are good, some are meh). Socialization depends upon your time management skills and how long it takes for you to grasp concepts. You'll find a tonne of quizzes, assignments and what not to contend with within a given semester. What kind of friends you will make is up to you, but there are not "maila" type of people here if that's your concern.

That answers everything, thanks!

I had another question, I'm from Pre-Engineering so I haven't really studied CS in the past much (just 1 year in 9th grade). Do I need to study CS for the admission test?

no, they teach you from the very basics. No extra CS stuff for admission test

Ok sorry but questions keep coming up in my mind, do I need to do Chemistry for the IBA and/or FAST admission test for BSCS?

for BACHELORS in Computer Science Fast University is definitely the best university in Pakistan for now. Best faculty, Great exposure, decent market value.
A student have done medical in Intermediate can apply for CS in fast?

Obviously not, but you can always take inter CS/Mathematics exam to make youself eligible for Computer Science.
What about SZABIST?
engineering is not necessary in SZABIST, i can apply.
Do you prefer SZABIST? How is its CS?
B/c now only option i have is SZABIST.

does anyone here have knowledge about good universities in the east asia region that have undergrad programmes in urban and rural planning (medium of instruction must be english)? could be elsewhere in the world too, but reasonably priced.

its a good institute and they offer BA/BS mass comm and have good faculty aswell regarding career pathline its all on your interest man so mostly you can pursue broadcast journalism , tv/ radio , news papers and advertising agencies especially ,Media houses
other than fc for media studies you should look for B.N.U aswell i guess they are good at all these creative arts degrees with the appropriate environment

i was looking for info on nust hostels and though i got what i needed to know i also came across blog entries and news pieces saying that nust is run by extremely conservative and close minded people? basically that they have curfew at 7.30pm and boys and girls cant sit next to or walk with each other. one person went to the extent of saying nust is being run by taliban. can anyone tell me if this is true? is it a very choking atmosphere there?

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
