Lifelong memories, learnings and friends.
Tips: I did not choose the scholarship as I did not want to serve a bond at the time. The transition was quite easy since the local people are very nice, food options are plentiful and everything in general is quite streamlined making it a fantastic country to live in. There were plenty of Indians in my batch which further helped me to adapt faster and helped me find a home away from home.
Likes (Indian Food): Almost every major hostel has a food court, which would consist of multiple different cuisines at subsidised rates. On average a meal used to cost me 6-10 dollars on campus with plenty of Indian, Western, Korean and local stalls spread across campus.
Dislikes (Part time work): A lot of career fairs and events are organised by NTU where prospective employers look for promising candidates for both part time and full time jobs. In addition, a lot of opportunities exist via job search platforms like LinkedIn, JobStreet and Indeed. I myself did internships which I was able to find through LinkedIn.

Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with.
Tips: Many cultural shifts. Although there are a ton of Indians natively in the country, there still are some differences in the mannerisms, food and thoughts. There are no scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university, the course, the amenities it provided and the faculty and friends I integrated with.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with. They are always there to help you out and if nothing you can always find a professor to hear you out. The most unique teaching experience was a class test I gave which had no right answers and everyone arrived at different solutions. Pretty cool way to check concepts and also avoid copying since there was no point. Mostly Singaporean and Chinese with a mix of a few Indians, Australians, Europeans, Japanese, etc.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is not too difficult if you are able to find a job post Masters, but it can be difficult to find a job given the market. My chances are 50 percent. I need to work a few more years to make it 100%.

Great campus and faculty.
Tips: Honestly it hasn't been much time, the Asian culture is very dominant, so not much of a transition but you may feel a communication gap even within Indian people as well. I did not apply for a scholarship however there are multiple provisions where you can sign a work bond with the government. I am pretty much satisfied with the country as well as the university. It may be overwhelming to settle if you have low social skills like me or may experience fomo because locals are not welcoming, there is a difference in thought process wavelength.
Likes (Public transportation): There is a provision of an MRT station being built on campus, however the commute is really easy via the 199/179 buses at campus from where you can easily get to Boon Lay or Pioneer MRT. The MRT card can be retrieved at the station however NETS/ez-link cards can be bought from the local 7-11 stores, where you can top up the money. Public transportation is quite affordable for students. The best part is you can travel from one part of the city to another for less than 5 SDG. That's the min top up it requires.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Securing citizenship in a country like Singapore is really very difficult; however if you are willing to serve the national service for 2 years it can guarantee you citizenship for boys. However permanent residentship might be counted upon as a viable option.

Great campus life and the cutting edge labs at NTU.
Tips: Need to dedicate to studies extensively. It's a diverse campus with students of different cultures. Faculty members are pioneers in their fields. All faculty members have cutting edge technology labs for experiments. It has world class nano fabrication facilities on campus and has a collaboration with NUS.

Great for smart people and hard workers.
Tips: It is not easy to score well so if you’re coming to learn a lot and do well, then great. If you’re looking for an easy experience overseas, then this is not the best option for you. You will have to work over weekends and public holidays to get your assignments done and study for mid terms, etc. It’s a good university but you may occasionally experience racist remarks as a brown person.
Likes (Safety): It’s generally safe for men and women; of course, there are occasional crimes. You can roam anywhere, day or night and are rarely the victim of harassment or robbery. That being said, as with any place, you have to take responsibility for your own safety.
Dislikes (Internships): There was not enough guidance or options. Not much support from the school to source internships. The school just invites companies to come set up booths and showcase, etc., but it works more for some faculties than others. If you are in engineering, then this would not be an issue for you.
