Not getting the most prestigious scholarships does not make the uni not good, it just means that it is not the best, which is true in NUS' case. NUS' isn't the best university around but they ain't lousy. As for companies hiring overseas grad, does that mean that NUS grads are not being hired? But strangely, 80+% of NUS grads were hired 3 mths upon their graduation leh. Yes, overseas grads are being hired, and these grads who actually edge out local grads are those who came from Ivy League Unis or other top unis around the world (Of cos there are always some exceptional case, but I'm talking about the general case). NUS definitely do not match up wif these unis (they rank higher or on par with NUS). NUS is the top 20 Uni and this is an overall rating. I'm not trying to be biased towards NUS but please make a fair comment instead of rattling off like that.
Oh yah and I agree that NUS is a damn hot place. And NUS's infrastructures look really old and pathetic. NUS looks like a shabby village compared to SMU's new campus haha
yeah, NUS is a good school in general.
oh and there are lots of stairs to climb in NUS esp the arts faculty, think about climbing from LT11 to the arts canteen =P
well, the lecture halls are cool...hm....winter cool, hehee
