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.

Singapore has a lot of security within the country to ensure public safety.
Tips: If you want to enjoy college life without much stress, this college is preferable. However, if you want to focus on academics, you must look for NUS and NTU to secure jobs within the country. Union has a lot of extracurricular activities which are governed by students.
Likes (Safety): Singapore has a lot of security within the country to ensure public safety. So far, I have not had any bad experiences from staying there. Also the likelihood of theft is very low and near zero. Public transportation is available throughout the country and is reliable and on time.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Singapore has tightened opportunities for foreigners by limiting the S and E pass for immigrants. Unless you are from a local university the chances of securing a job is minimum. Also, as this is a private union, you don't have part-time opportunity.

Safe country and helpful people.
Tips: You do not have to be worried about making friends and adjusting in classes, even if you are an introvert, the people around you and the lecturers are very nice and reach out to you first to help you adapt easily. You also improve and learn a lot of new skills from hands on experience and through the different clubs available here.
Likes (Safety): Singapore is one of the safest countries to stay in. As a girl, I feel safe going for a walk at 2 am and face no issues. There are always police on patrol and they are very active and as the rules are strict, it is a very safe place to stay in. You can leave your phones, laptops, and bags around and no one will steal it, if you come back later it will be exactly where you left them.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is very hard to get a PR or citizenship in Singapore but it is possible to stay there for a long time with a long term visa or a work visa. You will not get the benefits of a pr or a citizen through these visas. Also if you enter as a student you are not allowed to work in Singapore as it is illegal so you can stay as long as your student pass is available only.
