Compare RGS vs NYGH

[Busymom]

This was a long time ago. A friend went to Hwa Chong JC during her first 3 months (before O’ level result was out), but she hated the "culture" there. Not sure why especially when she comes from Chinese speaking family background.


Ultimately, it depends on the kid who may prefer or suit one "culture" to another.

Where your friends are going may also be a deciding factor.

if you have been to HCI open house, you would have come across their emphasis that they are NOT a cheena or chinese school, not any less English than any school / JC in s'pore

i have many friends / professional counterparts from HCI to prove what HCI claims

I fully agree, especially in Singapore's context these days - that no school is less English than others. However, there is some \"cultural\" difference between all the schools. Take ACS and RI for example. Would you say that ACS is more English than RI? But there is just that difference no matter what.

Last yr, I have a choice of both RGS and NYGH, but i chose neither of them ....

actually, wanna to pick NYGH but the road journey would be too long to bear for 6 yrs (including that of HCI)
imagine 1 day 4 trips to and fro fetching gal,
if take 22 days a month, 1 mth will be 88 trips,
not to mention the usual road jam there.....and now the flood there.....
