I found that being immersed in a new culture was the most rewarding because I learned how to deal with new experiences that I had never encountered before. I learned how I adjust to new situations and how well I do under pressure. The opportunity to travel was also very rewarding. Singapore is in the center of Southeast Asia and it is very convenient and cheap to travel to other countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam.

My favorite part of this incredible journey was definitely the total immersion in a different culture. It was such an eye-opening experience and I learned just as much about myself as I did about the Singaporean lifestyle. It was the trip of a lifetime and I miss something different about the culture each and every day!

There was a lot of emphasis on personal studying, and weighted grades meant that you were competing with your peers. Being able to still achieve high grades in this competitive atmosphere felt very rewarding in the end.
