Compare RGS vs NYGH

I tend to disagree. I know for sure that guys from RI may not readily want to 'get' or date an RGS girl. Surprised to hear that RGS girls can be a prized commodity. Looks would usually be the first attraction and if there is suitability in characters then it could result in a long term relationship. Not where the schools the boys and girls come from. IMHO.

You mean I have given too much credit to RI boys? :?

Maybe both of you are talking about different age group of RI boys?

When they are just a teenager, probably less cool to be seen having a RGS girl as girlfriend as compared to having a girlfriend from hot babe schools like ___ (please fill in the blank as you wish cos' everybody has different opinion and I don't want to get ). However, once out of school, maybe what ksi said could be true for men who are confident of themselves? I don't know, I am not a RI boy...

Thanks snowz for sharing.....so it is generally perceived that RI and ACS boys would date RGS gals and not NYGH girls.

Just guessing…maybe NYGH girls are too filial etc. so they don’t want bfs.

Don't read too much into the result of the survey which was done in 2004. A lot has changed. The sample size is small and perhaps made up of a lot of teenagers who have different needs during that stage in their lives. RI and ACS boys like other Singaporeans would prefer girls from overseas when they grow up IMHO. These overseas girls are much more realistic and desirable than RGS or NYGH ones. :lol:

Sounds bad leh...product of our education system \"buay la ku\"....
Let me ask my current RI little friends to see if opinions have changed. I got a feeling..some things never changed.

RGS vs NYGS


What is the difference?

My DD likes Maths, Science & Music. Her Chinese is alright.

Which school will be better for her?

[vlim]

I think they are different in culture … So bring her to these 2 schools to have a feel and she might make her own decision. Afterall both are very good school.

The two schools are very different culturally. NYGH prides itself on its Chinese heritage and in imparting Chinese culture and traditions to its students. RGS is, as many put it, more ‘angmo’.


Academically, I don’t think there is a significant difference. Of course all students take HCL in NY whereas at RGS you are given an option of choosing HCL or CL.

Did your dd attend the Open Houses of the two schools in June? It would be quite clear where the differences lie and where your dd would feel more comfortable in. Unfortunately I don’t think either school is holding any Open House during this period.
