Life in Singapore as a Masters student in NUS.
Tips: The culture is very friendly. As for me, I came from India, and I've lived in the US for many years so I did not face any difficulty adjusting here. No cultural shift unless you are not from an Asian background. I did not avail any scholarships, as the options were limited for US citizens.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very affordable and available everywhere. It is easy to access. The campus is on the outskirts of the city, but there are a lot of ways to get there. It can take a well-connected MRT (subway), and many buses go there. Hailing a cab is also an option.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Student visa does not extend further than 1 year post-study. Up to us to find a job. The chances I would have of permanent settlement are probably 60%, considering I find a job that pays enough to live comfortably. Job opportunities for foreigners are slightly less. If I had the chance, I would 100% permanently immigrate to this country.

A great way to build your future.
Tips: I didn't have much of a cultural shift because I was brought up here before but I think the other students, the English slang that Singapore uses, might be slightly overwhelming. Scholarship wasn't available for my intake, but for the upcoming intake, I heard that there are some scholarships.
Likes (Quality of faculty): NUS faculty are very experienced and well-known in the research field. They have amazing knowledge and the way they bring it forward to the students is inspiring. They are very approachable and they introduce us to many conferences and competitions to build our own interests and discover ourselves.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study jobs are pretty difficult to find, being an international student as the salary is pretty high for a sponsored visa, which is way above the fresher salary in general in Singapore. There are 3 different types of passes, the unskilled worker pass is the least, followed by the skilled worker pass, and then the professional employment pass. Usually, Master's students are allowed only for the EP.

MSc (Building Performance and Sustainability) - Batch of 2023
3.9
Challenging yet enjoyable.
Tips: Be prepared for classes to be in the evening. Keep in mind, you are allowed to take 2 electives in the whole year. So what I did was take one elective in the first sem and another in the second sem. You can choose a course from ISD, Project Management or M.Arch as your electives, but when you register for your courses, make sure the electives you choose don't clash in timing and day with your BPS courses. Some of my classmates did that and ended up having to switch electives 2 weeks into the semester. No big cultural shift except that people adhere to and expect adherence to rules. So if the escalator says "Stand on left, walk on right", then please respect that and either stand on the left side or walk on the right. Similarly, all other rules should also be followed, like no eating in the metro and only flag down public buses when you want to board them, etc. For Masters, there are little to no scholarships available in NUS. Of course, it does differ department to department, but in Architecture & Engineering, it's almost non existent for foreigners. Singapore can be expensive but as students, you end up figuring out where the good deals are and how to have fun even on a budget. I'd advise checking the NUS part time jobs page when you join, it has many openings for part time jobs where you can earn some money on the side. I did part-time shifts at the Central Library in NUS, could easily earn 10 to 12 SGD an hour. If you find part-time jobs off campus, then that's also handy, just try to keep it on a schedule you can manage with your classes and assignments.
Likes (Safety): Singapore in itself is a very safe city. I was out on a walk at 4 am and didn't have to think twice about using earphones and walking. As a woman, it is a very safe city. The police take patrols at night, not like a military facility type of way, just normally. And people in general have a basic civic sense of respecting private space.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Singapore has Singaporean Indians, which makes the food a mix of South Indian and Singaporean food. Some food is similar and easy to eat, like sambar and dosa, and some I wasn't able to eat due to the difference in taste, like a few types of daal. Vegetarian people have even less options in indian food because if you're nitpicky, you'll end up going back to basic food like price and sambar. I would suggest trying Mala hotpot, you get to pick out the quantity and type of ingredients you want, so vegetarians can just pick out veggies, and you get to have that cooked in a sauce of your spicy level choosing with either noodles or price. Lots of people enjoyed that. Keep in mind that NUS has one food court for each different studying school, like Medicine, Architecture & Engineering, etc. So each food court has at least one Indian food stall that has the food I'm talking about. The other stalls all have different food like western food options, chicken & rice (Singapore style), Chinese food, etc. Those are really good to eat if you like exploring other options.

An academic journey through the best life experiences.
Tips: Singapore has a very diverse culture and population, so you never feel you're away from home. Scholarships are available. Life on campus is fun, everyone is friendly, and the campus is beautiful.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors have a very good understanding of the course material and make the classes engaging through presentations and case studies. Applying knowledge in real-time helps in a better understanding of the course content, and the professors have their own unique teaching styles and interactive methods.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies are hesitant to sponsor work visas. While a variety of job roles are available, finding one that matches your requirements and secures visa sponsorship can be challenging. However, being in SG, a major trade hub, does make it easier to find employment opportunities.

Securing a job is challenging.
Tips: As a student from India, it was a very different experience to study in a culturally diverse university. The way academics are programmed is quite different, but not hard to transition into. I am very satisfied with my university, the freedom of my course and Singapore is one of the best countries to study in.
Likes (Student Life): Curriculum allows for a good balance between school and personal life. The infrastructure promotes your growth. NUS does a lot of events to keep students mentally, intellectually stimulated. There are committees and clubs for every interest, making things very inclusive and fun.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Securing a job is challenging, as obtaining an employment pass or work visa necessitates sponsorship. With Singapore moving towards greater independence, securing sponsorship is becoming increasingly difficult. Consequently, without industry contacts, it can be hard to get noticed.

Faculty are always very approachable and friendly.
Tips: The cultural shock of studying in Singapore is milder compared to the USA, the UK, etc. The only culture shift to be mindful of is that following the rules is very important here - even when it's something small like crossing the road only when it's a green light. I did not avail any scholarship. I availed the MOE tuition grant, which is a 3-year bond that gets you a subsidised tuition fee in exchange for working for a Singapore-based entity for 3 years after graduation. Overall, I am satisfied with my course. The curriculum is modern and equipped with the skills required to survive in today's world.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are always very approachable and friendly. They encourage students to clarify their doubts after classes, either through email or during office hours. While there isn't any unique teaching methodology, and most teaching is done through PowerPoint slides and lectures, the faculty is coherent and educated in their field of study. They always provide extra information for each topic and make sure the students have a background about what they're learning. Most teaching faculty are local Singaporeans, but a few guest lecturers are international, of different ethnicities from all over the world.
Dislikes (Student Life): There are clubs available for every activity imaginable, and even sports and activities most people would have never heard of. Clubs are quite active and meet about once a week. Other than that, there are intra-hall and inter-hall activities, inter-faculty games, and so much more. However, NUS also gets very academically intense during certain periods, especially around exams. This makes it really hard to participate in co-curriculars at those times. Overall, the plethora of choices makes it easy for anyone to join something they're interested in.

Students on student visas are rarely considered for off-campus part-time work.
Tips: Be prepared to be challenged by every classmate and every day. The campus will go to great lengths to provide any support you need. Leverage the strong alumni network and focus on networking events from day one.
Likes (Value for money): The global exposure and the quality of the faculty and peers provide unparalleled exposure and knowledge, making every penny worthwhile. The career services at NUS also strive to equip you with the resources you'll need to enter the job market.
Dislikes (Part time work): Students on student visas are rarely considered for off-campus part-time work, and it's difficult to find such jobs. There are no job boards for part-time positions, so the only option is to secure a position within the university.

The competition is very high and cutthroat.
Tips: I didn't experience any major cultural adjustments. While experiencing Singaporean culture is great, it really comes down to each individual's needs and preferences. I'm happy with my NUS experience, though there were some minor concerns that were likely specific to my cohort.
Likes (Value for money): I completely agree that it's a great value, especially when compared to similar institutions abroad in Europe, the UK, and the US. The quality of infrastructure and student life is also very reasonable. However, as a student, you'll need to learn to budget your expenses wisely.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The competition is very high and cutthroat, and as one of the leading countries in Asia, many people from around the world are seeking to settle here. It's difficult for companies to sponsor work visas, as there are many Singaporean nationals also seeking employment, making it easier for them to be hired compared to foreign nationals.

Intellectually challenging place.
Tips: Students should be ready to study a lot. They should be mentally ready to take difficult subjects and work on a lot of assignments and projects in all subjects simultaneously. The most important thing is the heavy competition you will be facing from your peers. Don't be afraid of it, but don't take it easy as well. I didn't avail of any scholarships. I am very satisfied with this university.
Likes (Student Life): I spend most of my time studying at college. I enjoy studying, working on projects and coding. I am also part of many clubs and thus I am happy with my current student life. Almost all events like sports, music, traditional events and many more are organised in the college. I participate in events that I like. There are technical and non-technical clubs, both on the campus.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I find more restaurants serving Chinese cuisine in my area (Clementi). However, if you travel to places like Little India, you will definitely find more Indian food stalls there, but as you move away from Little India, the count of stalls reduces. In my college, I find hardly 2-3 Indian food stalls.

NUS is a university which rewards you for what you put into it.
Tips: You can get a lot of scholarships/bond to lower the cost of tuition fees at NUS. I think I'm pretty adaptable, so transitioning to living in Singapore was not a problem at all, and while there have been high highs and low lows, all in all, I'm quite happy with my university life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The statistics faculty is very diverse and quite friendly. The course material taught is a great balance between practical and theoretical knowledge. The other courses I've taken outside of Science have also been amazing with some great faculty. Of course, there will be some professors you may not connect with, but I've not had a problem like that really.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I can't really answer this question accurately as I haven't graduated yet, but from what I've seen of previous classes you will definitely be able to find a good job in Singapore as long as you are applying to a good selection of companies. The employment rate in my faculty is extremely high.

A great place to make your career.
Tips: There is a cultural shift. You will initially feel discomfort and excitement both at the same time. But when you will get assignments and work at the same time, you won't get time to think of that. Scholarships are for thesis based mostly. I applied for them, it's a bit competitive.
Dislikes (Part time work): As you enter, it's difficult to find on campus part time jobs unless you are in thesis based course. So even if part time job is not in your field, just try to grab it. I did my first part time job at a grocery store as a produce clerk. You need to find off campus jobs. It's manageable. You should do proper time management. 15 CAD per hour.

There are few local job opportunities and students needs to relocate after graduation.
Tips: UAlberta has excellent academic, research and work opportunities, and the campus and student life are pretty vibrant too. Diversity is pretty good, with people from all over the world. Moving to Canada was a big transition, but the UAlberta community made it easier. Overall, I loved my experience here.
Likes (Student Life): The University of Alberta has great spots on campus to study, like SUB, HUB, and a lot of libraries, all of which are very safe. There are also a lot of food options available in these places. There are a lot of club options—Indians Students Association, CS clubs, and many others—to keep students engaged.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Edmonton doesn't have a very large tech sector compared to cities like Toronto or Vancouver. This means fewer local job opportunities, and students often need to relocate after graduation for better job prospects. At least in tech fields like core engineering, there are opportunities right here.

My experiences in the University of Alberta was good.
Tips: The university is in Edmonton. Weather goes to -30 degrees in winter. Cannabis is legal here, so you will see many addicts on the street. Many homeless people near the downtown area. So avoid downtown. I am not that satisfied with my degree. I wanted to switch from software development to machine learning developed with this degree but I don't think I can do it.
Likes (Public transportation): Rate 5 due to robust public transportation. Campus seamlessly connected to the city via buses and Metro. The whole city is well connected. Transportation cost is included in the tuition fees. No need to pay extra for transportation. Uber is easily available if you want to go to a remote destination.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Rated 3 on post-study jobs due to limited visa sponsorship. Unsure about specific companies. Generally, job roles vary, but the average salary in Edmonton post-studies is around 50k. I got a job through my professor, got lucky with this one. But do not expect the same thing to happen with every student.

Tips: I am very shy type boy but after coming to Canada I completely changed and my network is big in Canada. When you leave your home country no one can be with you so you are solely facing all the problems and it is life changing for me. This country culture is different. I am not eligible for applying scholarship because my IELTS band is low. But I enjoyed to live in this country.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is best in university of alberta. Because they gives university of alberta student U-pass and who have U-pass they can unlimited access to light rail and tansit buses. It is more affordable compare to buy daily ticket. So most of the student have U-pass. And it's affordable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Because our area lack of availability of Indian food. In our local area Indian foods are hard to find. Most of the hotel and restaurants are non-vegetarian. But all the foods are available in Edmonton. And eating outside is very costly for international students. So I prefer to cook by myself at home.

University of Alberta offers fantastic teaching quality.
Tips: I didn't experience any cultural shift after coming to Canada because in this country Indian population is good. So it will be easy to cope with them. However, there was some cultural differences in terms of cooking and part time work experience. I didn't apply for any internship cause my rank was too low. University of Alberta is one of the best universities for me and I love Canada.
Likes (Indian Food): All the types of restaurants are available for you, if you want to eat non-veg or veg. Mostly non-veg restaurants are here. If you don't know cooking you can eat tiffin. Indian foods are also available in the area. But if you eat outside in restaurants or hotels it will be expensive. You can cook for yourself at home and it will be cheap. So I prefer cooking and before moving to Canada please learn cooking.
Dislikes (Internships): University of Alberta faculty members are helpful in finding internships and applying. Faculty have good knowledge about field-related internships so if you have any doubts related to the internship you can contact them and they will resolve your problem. If you want to do field related internship you can meet the faculty.

Off campus job is quite difficult to get but you apply all places and definitely you got a once place. Part time job is manageable because you have 20 hours to do job and all time you are free then you can study free time so part time job alnog with academics is manageable for me.
Dislikes (Student Life): I spend my time in campus to do many activities and some events. I enjoy in campus because campus environment is totally different and I loved my spent more and more time in campus. Many events organized by university are orientation week, guest lectures and speaker series, arts and culture events, sports and atheletics events and many more. In this university have many clubs like academic clubs, cultural and ethics clubs, etc.

I love the college so much I have learnt so many things and would suggest that you should go there
Tips: This is one of the best college but there is only one problem which is related to Indian food. Except that it is so wonderful and you would get a new experience there you can feel homesick in the beginning but the environment is so friendly that you will feel so good and forget about home after few days.
Likes (Safety): I gave high rating because I feel safe there you can go out on roads any time without any safety concerns. When I get bored of studies I hangout at midnight I never find anything suspicious and always feel so safe there even in campus outside campus localities everywhere.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is lack of Indian food we have to struggle a lot to get Indian food there is trouble to find Indian origin food. If you get Indian food there but that do not feels like home because it's a different type of food if you know how to cook then there would be no issues for you
