Bachelor of Computing (Honours) in Computer Science - Batch of 2028
Offered by National University of Singapore
2.8
Well Oiled Soulless machine
Tips: No, it is definitely not fun at all as people are really hard to reach. The whole course structure has been designed in such a way that it would filter out the top 0.1% of the lot instead of preparing the students for a career. The course material does not match with the examination papers, there is nothing provided to practice on.
Likes (Public transportation): Free transport on campus Bus frequency every 10 minutes, 30 minutes on weekends Campus well connected with city, metro station on campus Bus station on campus public transport is roughly 2-5 sgd for an entire trip Taxi are expensive but extremely quick 15 min travel time on road .
Dislikes (Indian Food): Vegetarian food is a major issue, only subways is available Cooking isn't allowed in certain residence Food is mostly land Off campus restaurants are expensive, 30-300 sgd On campus food is affordable, but dinner shuts down most places by 6:30 Across the country places shutdown 6:30 - 9:30.

NUS was the perfect choice for a balance between safety abroad and quality education
Tips: I'm someone who has stayed in Singapore for a fair chunk of time before I returned here for my masters so there wasn't much transition for me. I think vegetarian food is a bit difficult to get, but indian food and groceries are easily available. Overall, the course was okay, I chose a research project that fit well with my interests, which made my degree worth it.
Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, Singapore is just incredible when it comes to getting around. The buses and trains are literally everywhere, and the signs are so clear you can't really get lost. Since the uni is right in the city, getting there is a breeze. They even have campus buses that make it super easy to hop between buildings or just get to and from the nearest MRT station without having to walk too far in the heat.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I am more interested in computational Biology and I feel like a major limitation of my degree was that there weren't enough people who were qualified to teach dry-lab subjects. As a result, the course was skewed overall to cover more wet lab subjects.

Pretty diverse and welcoming campus.
Tips: Singapore is the best country for safety, and the campus is pretty good. Buses are running all the time, and it's safe to roam around and go around campus. Also, if you are living on the campus vs living outside, you get different privileges, so seek out early if you want to live on campus. NUS is a great university, and I did get scholarships from the MoE.
Dislikes (Part time work): Finding part-time work isn't easy in Singapore due to immigration status. Even internships are a little. Tough unless you are in the MEng, where you need to work with companies to work on your project. In general, the many options for internships are very limited.

Placements at NUS for Biotechnology are pretty low.
Tips: Moving into any country is initially difficult with a lot of challenges, but with time it gets much better. Specially I was happy to find so many Indian friends in a foreign land. No scholarships for this course. Loved my experience at NUS, with great friends and approachable professors. And Singapore is no doubt one of the most beautiful and safest places.
Likes (Student Life): NUS is beautiful and huge with a lot of things to see around. I personally found a great set of Indian friends during my time there. A lot of clubs, both academic and nonacademic are there. My favourite part about NUS was the student lounge called Pitstop, offering video games, TT, foosball, board games etc.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Placements at NUS specifically for Biotechnology are pretty low. But there are career fairs that keep happening around the year, which is a plus point to build your network and get an understanding of the companies in Singapore. Jobs usually start from around 3500SGD - 4500SGD for freshers.
