Hey Jamie! I just applied to my dream university NUS for my masters! I love watching these videos because I feel like I'm living the moment. I hope I get in! Thanks for all the information and keep making some more videos!
Hi Rahul! I'm glad this helped you! I hope you get in as well. It's such a great and fun school! (well at least from the lens of an exchange student hahah)
I'm going to NUS on exchange this coming January semester 2019! I'm super excited, thanks for the info you provided in this video :)
oh of course no problem!!
Hello, I'm going to NUS also, but on Feb2019. Have enjoy in NUS.
Hey you probably might not reply back but I am hoping and planning to study abroad in Singapore spring 2022 so its literally in like 6 months but I will be doing a different program at Singapore Management University and because your video also contained general information like weather, phone, bank I found it so helpful. Will defintely leave a like and come back to your video again soon. Thank you!!
aww wow thanks so much Sahra!! I'm so glad you found it helpful :) The exchange student process can have a lot of nitty gritty details that people don't talk about!
@@DearYoungerMe SOOOO true and I literally noticed I didn't subscribe but as of right now I did!
So helpful! Studying abroad there this spring :)
Yay!! I'm glad it helped you :)
Super informative as my son is heading there in two months. Thanks!
you're welcome!
Hey! I'm thinking about doing my fall semester at NUS, however, I had a question about travel opportunities. I'm picking between Singapore and London right now and the thing about Europe is that since there are no classes on Friday, the weekends are longer so that obviously means more time to travel to other neighboring countries. I am a bit worried that I might not be able to get as much traveling done in Singapore because NUS has a regular two-day weekend calendar. In your experience, how often did you get to travel, if at all, and was it expensive? thank you so much for your response.
Hey Juan! It was actually really easy for me to travel even though we didn't officially have Fridays off. Because when you study abroad, chances are you won't be taking a full load and a lot of my classes didn't meet on Fridays. They were either MW or TTH intervals. And depending on what classes you can sign up for, you can decide if you want friday or monday classes or not. Don't worry about not being able to travel as much in Singapore; if anything, I think you can travel more here because SE asian countries are a lot closer than some EU countries. Also EU flights, food and accommodation is suuuper expensive. I went there this summer and I probably spent like double what I spent in Singapore and with a shorter stay. Airasia has really cheap flights for SE asia (30-70 dollars) while EU flights are (80-100 dollars) depending on where you go. But that's just been my experience. Hope this helps!!
Hi first of all I'm African I'm from Egypt .... how i can get a free scholarship to learn in nus as you know learn and life in singa if expensive how also i can get a part time work in the period of my study
Can a PhD student on a* star singa award in NUS bring spouse and child too for 4 years of PhD period ?
Hey! I unfortunately do not have the knowledge to answer that question! You should check out the NUS website and see if you can email the counselors there!
@@DearYoungerMe thankyou sister
Wait where's part 2??
I lost the footage so I had to shoot a new video. But I'm editing it now!!
upload part 2!
Hello!
Were there programs offered at NUS that allowed you to travel to the other countries? For example, for community service/volunteer service and etc?
I am going to try to study in NUS next year XD
Hi Allie! I'm not too sure on that! i didn't travel outside of the country specifically for volunteering. But if you go to NUS, there is an involvement fair in which different clubs tell you what their club is about. You can ask your questions there and I'm sure some clubs will have a better answer for you!
@@DearYoungerMe okay thank you so much! I was also wondering if they offered internships there? And do you think you will be able to make a video on how you saved up money to travel to other countries/ study abroad?
Not sure about that either haha but I think you should look at your home university to see if they have internships abroad in NUS. That way you can talk to your advisors who know your schedule better. And for saving money, I actually got really lucky because I received a hefty scholarship that helped me pay for the cost of my study abroad trip! So before you go, try to apply to as many department specific (aka engineering, business, human arts scholarships) and school wide scholarships as you can. And the most expensive part of my study abroad was probably the airfare to singapore. The flights to and from most SE asian countries are super cheap and the food there is super cheap as well!!
@@DearYoungerMe Oh okay! Thank you for your insight. I am a part of the UC system so the EAP fees cover the flight costs, but I will definitely try to get scholarships! Thank you so much! Sorry for all the questions. I have two more lol.
-Did you get to choose your roommates?
- How did you find travel buddies?
Jamie need help... Please make video for ug course for BBA accountancy.. And also the cost of living there per year (include everything) specially for Indian students and requirement to get into enroll into NUS.
Hey Rishi! I unfortunately do not have that information. I studied industrial engineering and I have no clue what the accounting classes are like. But I suggest you message the admission counselors and I'm sure they can answer all your questions!
Where can I get the ezlink card? And how can I use it please reply?
Hi Sania! I got mine at the airport I think. But you can get them here: MRT stations and bus interchanges, convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, Buzz and Cheers outlets, vending Machines at Bugis Junction, Bishan Junction 8, Tampines Mall and Westgate. Here's a link for more info! www.ezlink.com.sg/get-your-ez-link-card/where-the-cards-are-sold/
@@DearYoungerMe thank you so much!...
@@saniamulla25 no prob!
Hello, I couldnt understand the grading part very well. Are there no letter grades in NUS? Is it just pass or no pass? Thanks 😊
Hi there! So as an exchange student (as least for USC), my grades were all translated into pass/no pass. So as long as I got a C or above I got credit for taking the class! But if you are a local student then you get a normal letter grade
Is Singapore one of the country that accept someone who above 21 years old to applying for undergraduate?
I'm not sure actually! I was an exchange student so I was already enrolled as an undergrad in another university. But I think it also depends on when you graduated from high school?
Wow beautiful accent!!!
What about job opportunities
that I am not sure of :( I had a student visa and in order to get a Singaporean job, I needed to have another visa. I think it'd be best if you contacted the university about this!!
Was it hard to be selected? Like, did you have a lot of competition if you know about it..
hmm I'm not too sure. But only 5 people applied to this NUS exchange program from my school the semester I applied haha. But I do have to say, I think I was 1 of 2 who got it? So it depends on your school and whether or not NUS also has a spot for you in their exchange program (which changes every semester)
@@DearYoungerMe thanks for replying! I was impatient and actually went to an information session at school. For us its like 2 or 4 spots, and I already know +8 people wanting to go to NUS 😢 and they look at GPA average first :/. But thanks for the great video and info! I am gonna apply and just hope haha
ahh got it! I hope you get it though :)
@@DearYoungerMe thank you! :)
Can't find part 2!!!! :(
Ahhh this video was made just 2 weeks ago, haha.... looking forward to see part 2!!!
I'll have to redo part 2....the footage was lost for some reason :( but I'll get it up as soon as possible!!
Hello from Cambodia :DDDD
