SMU: A city-campus with goal oriented, but friendly people
Tips: Quite satisfied with the university. I was able to go outside my comfort zone as school honors participation. I made a lot of friends of different ethnic backgrounds. The professors are extremely helpful too. One thing to note is, you may want to learn how to cook, as eating out can get expensive, especially for vegetarians. :) You'll miss Indian food if you're from the northern states, as SG's local Indian food is mainly southern. Don't forget to use a GOOD deo/antiperspirant because it gets very hot in Singapore and most SMU classes are small in size. Additionally, as Indians, we tend to gravitate more towards other Indians, so try to socialize more with everyone and put up a friendly smile.
Likes (Student Life): It is a city campus with many student-led events. SMU often gives students many opportunities to connect with other students through workshops, also provides free snacks and hosts fun and interesting events involving talents. Moreover, they have many opportunities for students to actually get out of school and go overseas too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore has strict PR/citizenship policies; most students hoping to even find a job would require companies to sponsor a visa, which many are not willing to do due to additional costs and legal requirements to hire additional locals to compensate for hiring foreigners. Therefore, regardless of hope of PR, finding a job itself is close to impossible. Many of my friends from India came to SG hoping to settle down through a job; however, ones with a 4.0/4 CGPA faced a reality check after 6+ months and 300+ job applications to many companies before finally giving up and applying in India.

A lot of events and fun work study balance.
Tips: Students should attend the orientation before the classes start. Get a feel of the campus, go around as the different schools are a bit of a walk. But there are public buses that go around as well. Meet the new students during the orientation. The university facilities are amazing and is located in the heart of the city.

Insights to SMU Singapore
Tips: Job hunting is quite difficult in Singapore as a non-local, and SMU generally is not of much help—faculty is great for SOSS and law. Other schools are not that great. - Singapore is an extremely safe country. General discrimination in terms of preferential treatment to locals is there, but no blatant discrimination against anyone.
Likes (Public transportation): Almost every part of the city is connected through buses or trains, and their cost is not much. The campus has two MRT lines as well as a lot of bus stops nearby (and one on campus). It's a city campus, so most schools are near bus stops and MRT stations.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies are open to hiring non Singaporean local for internships or full time jobs. Very difficult to find jobs. Networking can also net get you too far. Work sponsorship is something most companies are unwilling to pay, and even through great references there is not much scope.
