This is surreal, I moved a year ago to Finland for my masters studies and previously did my bachelors in NUS. Discovered this channel thanks to the Finnish language side channel :) Much love and keep up the great content KatChats!
Aww thank you, and wow that's actually really cool! :o Hope you're having a great time in Finland :D
I'm a Freshman in high school (14 years old) I want to study architecture. One of the universities I want to apply is NUS. all this videos are helping me have a better understanding about NUS, thank you so much.
Aw I'm so glad, if you have any questions just ask! Hope you get into your degree when the time comes, good luck! ^-^
Me too!! I'm 14 amd I want to pursue architecture 💜
I hope someday I'll study at NUS :))
:)
What's the minimum score?
Varun Mani Tripathi 97% is the competitive score
@divya sri what is the minimum score for indians ?
@divya sri was it based on boards, GMAT or GRE score?
A traditional rice cooker (the ones which are like 3l and doesn’t have settings) might have helped with the cooking problem. They’re mainly for cooking rice, but you can fry things in it and make soup in it as well, even steam bread in a small metal pot (did this a lot with the family’s zojirushi rice cooker). For bugs - chrysanthemums can help deter a lot of em since they’ve got some kind of thing that’s poisonous to bugs but harmless to humans and pets, and since they sell dried stuff for tea cheapish in Singapore it might have helped with the bug problems you had (I think mint is also good for making ants eff off but idk grain of salt on that one). Late advice tho rip, but overall looks like a pretty cool place and a super neat bathroom
Loved the tour of your living area, I don’t know where my daughter will live but a look at your dorm helps. Thanks!!!!
Where is the AC!? I love the palm trees. But I can't sleep unless it's cold. Good on you Kat! Don't be discouraged, find the good parts of the experience. I know the heat kinda sucks.
When studying girls always get the best dorms and deals. Looks good!
I lived in Utown for 3 years. Now I move to PGPR. This is remniscent!
Wow those dorms are huge.
Not sure if you noticed but you've also captured one of the distinct sounds of Singapore... Of the sweeping in the background at around 16:35.... Roads used to be swept by hand like that to clear leaves but with mechanisation it's getting less and less. Mostly in gardens and irregular spaces now...
Oh they had those on campus areas a lot ! It was really cool to see! :D
I am at NUS for 2018/2019, staying in Tembusu
I wish you an AMAZING year ^-^
This school is super nice! My cousin lives in Singapore and went to school there. She says the strict (and somewhat weird?) laws are worth the high quality of life. What's your take since you lived there for a while?
I agree, once you live there you don't think much about them since for me at least the laws were about things I wouldn't do anyways. Makes things more clean and organized which is a plus :)
The campus looks lovely!!!
Haha it was a nice experience since the one in Scotland I go to doesn't have such a campus atmosphere :)
Heyy I know it's been 3 years but can please do a how to get into nus video??? That will help a lottt
I did an exchange through my home university, so the application was through the university of edinburgh and that uni chose who to send abroad xD I have no idea what the application directly to NUS would be like :o
Your hair .... your hair!!! wish you a safe flight
Hey how did you get in there?By scholarships,study loans or own budget??? please reply:)
I was on exchange so all fees I paid were to my home uni.
Pratheeek FAMA bodoh
I'm thinking of applying here through my uni's exchange program for next year! Was it hard to get your dorm? I read on NUS' website that the residences are not guaranteed due to high number of application. Do you think exchange students have some kind of priority for residences? I'm worried that I will have to find an accommodation outside of campus. thanks :)
Dorms are 🥵 and lecture halls chilly 🥶 struggle is real ;) but its worth it for NUS :)
Don't the dorms have ACs?
someday I wanna study engineering there.
Is this the same accommodation for MBA students?
Hi! Thanks for the video, it helps a lot because I will be staying in the same room next semester! I was wondering, how strict are they with visitors? I know in the rules it says no one can stay after 11pm, but do they actually check? Is it the same like the rice cooker haha?
not strict at all, I was in a 4-room flat and all 4 of us had guests sleeping over even for varying lengths of time. We just made sure it wasn't super obvious when the cleaners came or if there was a flat inspection. Even in the exchange students group chats we would lend out air-mattresses to each other xD You just have to make sure your flatmates are cool with it and won't tell on you :P
@@KatChats. oh that's great to hear! My boyfriend wanted to come visit me haha and I read all the strict rules on how you have an "open door policy when being with an opposite gender" :D sounded like they would take id cards when guests enter, or have inspection at 11pm haha. Thanks a lot for the insight!
@@irinapolishchuk9663 Oh yeah nothing like that when I was there, my boyfriend stayed for like 2 weeks once xD There was no way for them to really know since there was nobody that ever came to check for that sort of thing (despite all the rules they listed)
Awesome! Thanks a lot for the help!!
🎉🎉🎉
I'd like to go NUS please. But I can't afford it. So I want to apply for a scholarship. Can they give you a scholarship with SAT results
I went on an exchange so not sure since I paid my home school tuition fees directly to my home uni
Does girls hostel having like kitchen and inner rooms though? And if I take good marks then can I study without fee
I wish i could study in there😭
Cute doggy pillow, am surprised that laptop still uses win 7
It was a very old laptop and I didn't update the windows bc I was scared of it crashing xD
Ik this may sound pretty paranoid, but was there a lot of insect problems? I heard that in Singapore there is bed bug problems... Ofc it won't stop me from going, but I'm just wondering
Is their any option of scholarship?
Mega Cool, So how's life now, I hear Finnish summers are nice? ✰✰
How much do you have to pay per month?
Hey what is the curfew for the dorms? By what time should we be back incase we're going out?
Thankyou for a very nice vid
Interesting tour! well, it's not fancy and i can sense the disappointment in your voice while speaking! but i guess it's a worthy experience for crafting who you want to become! personally, my biggest issue would be the [cockroach] problem! i have zoophobia so that would be a real challenge for me!
Anyways; wish you the best for the rest of your path :)
Aw thank you so much, I filmed this on my last day there so I was pretty ready to go home for a bit (little homesick) but yeah the overall experience was definitely worth having ! :)
I could tell something is a little uncertain! it was homesickness!! Nonetheless, i hope you don't mind if i submit a request/suggestion. I am learning Finnish and looking forward to move to Finland permanently in order to live with my [Finnish] girlfriend. As you are aware, Finnish resources are extremely limited and difficult to find. I would be thankful to see more [language] videos specially with a focus upon grammar! of course your videos must be suitable for other viewers too as well as being pleasant for you to make! but generally i'm hoping to see more of this context! since i'm outside of Finland currently, your channel became one of my connective tunnels through Finland! Language, Culture, Facts, Comparisons and Tips! i have to add, your videos have good vibes and you seem an interesting person and that became a bonus! i like your context! by the way, i've noticed a few interesting points which i thought i had to share! -I love psychology like you! and my plan is to study psychology in Finland once i settled! -My girlfriend is vegetarian like you! -Also my girlfriend studying to be veterinarian just how you had this career in mind before! Sorry for my long comment and if you came this far, Kiitos paljon :)
Hello, will be staying here soon. Do I need to bring an iron with me?
My flat didn't have an iron at least
How much does it cost to live in the UTown Residence?
I'm planing to do an exchange semester in NUS starting September 2020. Were your classes shared by other students of NUS or was it only/mainly other exchange students?
I was pretty much the only exchange student in my class, it was mostly regular NUS students :)
@@KatChats. That's very nice to hear, thanks for your answer. How would you compare the study load at NUS to your uni in Norway?
Do anyone knows the proce for the dormitory?
Can u share something about how to get a full scholarship from UNS
Is it true that MBA graduates earn high salary in Singapore? ☺
I studied psych so not sure :P
Question. How long do you stay there?, How did you got in? and How much does it cost?
I was there for a semester, I applied through my uni's exchange program and paid my fees regularly to my home university. The housing I applied when I got a place as an exchange student they sent me links via email and you can look straight at the NUS accommodation website the price of the housing, for where I was it was a couple thousand.
i think you did not sleep well second last night there.
Hello. Can you live there even where you're not studying at NUS? I am from Singapore polytechnic and I want to move there. Thanks 😊
I think it's reserved for students at NUS sorry! You could double check and send them an email though
Can Indian student be a exchange student please reply
Of course, depends mainly if your uni has an exchange agreement with NUS.
Beautiful infrastructure
BUT FUUU, it will be hella difficult sleeping without having an AC.
It does taking a lot of adjusting to!
How far from law school?
They have shuttle busses that take you everywhere on campus! Not far at all.
How much it cost to do master in nus.
Not sure, check their website. I was only on exchange there as an undergrad!
Is the hostel co-ed? Are boys allowed, and vice-versa?
It is, but the individual flats within the apartment building are single sex.
@@KatChats. Thanks. It means they can enter each other's room during some regulated time, right?
Yep! You can have guests in your flat :)
@@KatChats. ye i think his question is if u can fuck in the dorms
How did u manage to get a Rice cooker inside your room in UTown residence, is it possible to take one?
Technically no, but there's literally no way to cook otherwise! I bought one with my flatmates.
@@KatChats. thanks a lot!!😊 Since I'm a vegetarian , I thought of taking a rice cooker, so yeh I'm super excited now..
Just don't let them see it, they're technically not allowed lol
@@KatChats. Is it possible to get permission from the officials before taking one? I don't want to be kicked out for having one. Except for the cleaning staffs who come twice a week to clean the bathrooms, will someone else come inside to inspect the rooms?
@@KatChats. How did you smuggle it in lmao
hi thanks for the vblog ,what part of the japan u went ??
Tokyo :)
nice except hokkaido north I been achi kochi every where of the japan .::))everybody should see that country.
Why are rice cookers not allowed?
Idk the reason...they just had that sign in our kitchen that they weren't allowed D:
@@KatChats. Darn, maybe you could've gotten away with it using a portable gas range and pot instead? Might cost you though.
Also, are all the dorms without air conditioning?
Do students there get along well with muslim students 😭😭😭😭
I hear they have a good law school.
I am willing to study my graduation in NUS of course CIVIL ENGINEERING ,I am having 87 % and IELTS of 6 can I get admission .
I was just an exchange student so I'm not sure, but good luck with your application :)
What’s the name of your dorm? Tembusu College or others? I am coming this year :]
It was UTown Residence South Tower (North Tower is identical too!)
Oh I see. So the utown itself is a student accommodation. And are there residential colleges nearby?
Yes there's a few within UTown I believe but they had a different application system. You had to contact the collages directly to get permission to stay at them so those options would appear on your accommodation application.
KatChats Thanks for the info ：）
Well
That flower on the back of your hand😂
Hahha that was from an event they had on Sentosa xD It's glow in the dark :P
Hello I'm a 16yr old from India. Is it tough to get placed in NUS? ( undergrad engineering) plz help me out with this
I went there on exchange so I’m not actually sure, sorry 😅
Did u find out?
All I know is that fees there are over $20 000 for engineering and $17100 with a government student grant
Hi can you pls elaborate on the price of it for one semester?
Umm according to their website it's roughly 140 SG dollars/week for the exact room I was in
U ppl. Should clean your own rooms and living rooms right ???? Or there will some helper ???
Civil Engineering Department?
How much did you pay in total?
I can't remember haha, but it should say on their website :)
Too much stuff in your room
Please stop saying basicly
