An unknown region with so much to offer. Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The examinations tended to be more difficult than what I was used to at Bentley. Also, the class sessions were significantly longer. The professors were good and always willing to help you with any doubts (as long as you could get in touch with them which was difficult). The score you get depends on the whole class' average so it is important that you do take care of being at least above it in order to get a good grade. You should also know that your score will depend on two or three activities or examinations during the whole semester.

On-site administration of your program

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I was annoyed at the fact that I had to pay for air-conditioning since Singapore is such a hot and humid place.

The food is great and cheap, although the canteens close early at night.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Singaporeans are very nice people overall and are interested in knowing what the West is like and how do Westerners feel now that they are on the other side of the world since they are also thinking on going abroad at some point.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I never used the health care center.

Singapore is the safest place I have ever been to and never did I expect anything bad to happen to me at any time. Still I would recommend that everyone watch over your belongings at all times.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

It was fairly easy to live at first because I mostly spent money on food. However, the food portions there were smaller than what I was used to and ended up spending more than what I expected.

0 = No encouragement, 5 = frequent encouragement to use the language

I had to speak English at all times and since I was learning Italian I had to use that as well every week.
