You're not alone mate. They do that in Australia too. It's getting harder and harder for anyone to afford to go to uni nowadays even when the local students can borrow from the government (HECS).Originally posted by fudgester:To be frank, when I first entered NUS, I was a matter of personal pride to me. I was proud of the fact that I had made it all the way to university after all those years of slogging and toiling in Secondary school and JC.
But after they raised tuition fees for two years in a row, I got totally disillusioned. They didn't even bother trying to consult the student body on the second fee hike - as though we're just a source of money to them. Hell, as a result of this, I was forced to take out a second student loan from DBS .
They in fact got into discussions to raise it again earlier this year - but luckily they finally had the sense to limit it to foreign students only. But they refused to freeze the fees for the next few years - good luck to my juniors.
Thank you, NUS. I wanted to love you, but you made me hate you.![]()

to bad your IC is pink .... if you were some "foreign talent" ... you can breeze through NUS with singapore goverment sponsership ... and have a job and PR waiting for you after graduation ....

Coz my weekend schedule is getting filled fast
How come 20kg of beans is so little? The 20kg dry cat food I used to order was as big as about 4 sheets of A4 size paper joined together.Originally posted by the Bear:just a little bag.. getting smaller now

I think he is really too much to ask a gal to buy 20kg of things all the way back for him.Originally posted by the Bear:just making fun of him lah

Is it really 20kg? Thought it was just a joke.Originally posted by Wanda:I think he is really too much to ask a gal to buy 20kg of things all the way back for him.![]()
