Recently I watch a YouTube video posted by a Chinese American of HK descendant. She studied in US Uni and went to UK on a 1 year exchange program. She shared she felt safer taking to strangers met on the street in UK than in US.


Any parents can share what you know about differences of living experiences of students study in foreign countries. Both the relative positives and negatives, among the foreign countries

Spoken to Fren whose dd is in final yr in NUS , is content / theory focused - since my time n hubby time had been so. If your ds wishes n interest into pursue deep content knowledge, probably is rather suitable , useful n beneficial for pursuit of further education in future too. My ds is opposite , so we think smu suits him better, we will know when he starts

So smu is focused on? Project based?
Comparing NUS business vs Smu business? How abt NTU business? Ntu business is only 3 years, any idea why shorter if comparing single degree.

The poly buz students i met at open house, aiming for smu business, wonder why?

My relative graduated from NUS business. He told me wherever there is an interview of applicants for some jobs/scolarships, whenever he get to see the applicants’ Uni list, he is almost certain those from SMU surely will proceed to next round.


According to him SMU curriculum is quite like the US’ where students are encourage to speak up in seminar class layout.

There is a risk that some interviewers equate being able to talk with being able to think. Quieter people aren't necessarily not thinking. If a student can do both, then it really doesn't matter where he studies.

True

Some people talk only, when necessary. Know when is the right time, to open your mouth.

Example

In a DSA RGS interview, one strategy when Is an open discussion interview & say, suppose there are 4 applicants sitting at the same table & the same qn is thrown to the floor, to these 4 DSA applicants, if u are the last #4 candidate, after hearing the answers from each of the earlier 3 candidates by keeping quiet while they talked, sometimes if u have a better answer than any of the 3, end up ...your answer may be the best, in the eyes of the interviewer.

Am a little bit worried that my kids will come back and tell me that do not want to work till \"discover purpose in life\" - happened to people I know.

If the student is encouraged to see working as an important life development stage, this is less likely? We told our kids that they would be cheating themselves of growth opportunities if they didn't get a job.

We beluve in finding purpose beyond earning a living, and you can always find a higher purpose in every job.

I think what my relative mean is like equating IB students with stronger presentation skills compare to non IB
