The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore's
oldest university. It is the largest university in the country in terms of
student enrolment and curriculum offered.
I have been to NUS last year as part of my paper
presentation in a conference. The campus environment is amazing with an
educational city. Present day Campus is pretty much big and there ran shuttle
buses to roam around. The newly built dorms in NUS knowledge city are clean,
serene and beautifully designed. On-campus recreational facilities are awesome
whether it’s Taekwondo, swimming pools, soccer fields, tennis courts or main
sports complex. Everything is on-campus to meet your work-life balance.
The best thing is that it’s a culturally a diverse place and
you can find a person from every continent. Singapore itself is known for
multicultural society and diversity. This not only help you interact with
people from your region but you also feel at home because of your cultural festivities,
food and people around. I am sure it will be a lifelong experience for anyone
who takes up studies at NUS.
