It’s a safe place for students to study and work.
Tips: Students must know the current ongoing scenario concerning job offers and the country being flexible towards students working part-time. The toastmasters programme would help students connect with faculty members.
Likes (Safety): Considering Singapore’s strong rule and safety. The country makes it a safe place for students to study and work as well. A strong department in the country that checks even the students' passports on the go makes it completely safe and avoids illegal entry. Strong economic policies.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent migration is quite a challenge unless there is strong support and a reference in the study country due to opposing government policies in migrants working in their country. The country was quite tough on migrants setting up during 2012. The salary structure is quite low compared to other countries.

JCU is a university that 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 JCU. I think I'm pretty adaptable, so transitioning to living in Singapore was not a problem at all, and while there have been highs and low lows, all in all, I'm quite happy with my university life. The faculty is very diverse and quite friendly. The course material taught is a great balance between practical and theoretical knowledge.
