National University of Singapore : Reviews (Singapore)

I loved staying in the hall and meeting everyone(TH). I would definitely go to orientation camp but get ready it is a long few days but I made some amazing friends there. Also loved playing hall and uni sports but it does get quite hot in the rooms without aircon.

My favorite parts of the program where getting to meet other exchange students and traveling around Southeast Asia and Australia.

My favorite part was definitely playing sports in IHG(Jan-Feb) must stay a full year to play but so fun, such a fun environment if in a sports hall.

I found the academics and broader experience of living in Singapore to be very rewarding, yet challenging. There is a very intense work culture that permeates the experience. While challenging, adapting to this new level of academic rigor provided a goal for the broader semester.

I have one major recommendation for students traveling to NUS. Do not take any courses in mathematics, or mathematics based. KU maths do not prepare you for these courses at all levels. One of my professors who was on a teaching exchange from the U.S. compared NUS mathematics to the U.S. stating that there courses are the equivalent of U.S. masters or PHD courses starting from even the 1000 level. I am not saying that it is impossible to complete or excel just prepare yourself for a greatly increased level of rigor.
