Anyway attended a undergrad foreign uni forum today where ex-HCJC-ians currently studying in foreign unis were invited back to share their experiences bla bla... so I was listening and all and after the sharing ended it was tea. Was talking to this guy at LSE (London School of Economics) which is like a super zhai uni... anyway he was doing law (whcih I am also considering) and he was like telling a grp of us how law in LSE is different from other UK and US unis per se. I also asked about the econs there, and again he said sth like if u wanna do econs either go to US or LSE, not like Cambridge or Oxford or wadvea else there is.
Before I spoke to tt guy I was thinking that actually it doesn't really matter which uni u go to do ur course be it local or overseas or whereever cuz the content u do is largely the same... just a few modules here n there that are different. But he was telling me like almost all law undergrads there graduate with a job awaiting (excluding scholarship bond-holders) them simply cuz of the branding of LSE. And ya, let's face it, this IS a materialistic world. NUS and LSE makes a world of difference... so now I'm in a whirl of confusion.... dunno what my priorities for choosing unis shld be. Also asked him whether Brits are dao1 to Asians or not... cuz my dad once had a really bad experiecne there with the Brits. He said it's not the case in London cuz it's super-cosmopolitan and the ppl there are very tolerant... Hopefully it's true... but things there are also so ex... Maybe any kind soul out there who know the UK environment well can like advice me?? Haha...
Then US unis... wah another whirlpool... so many names like UPenn, Stanford, Cornell (spelt correctly?), MIT, UCL, John Hopkins... shucks I can't even name 10 la... but got so many also... HOW TO DECIDE????
Humanz frens were like "Oh u better go web and find out more or else later too late to apply..." but now studying so hard for prelims how to????
Pop Quiz: Rank the following in order of importance when choosing a Uni (your preference)
(a) Brand Name
(b) Social factors (pace of living, any social discrimination)
(c) Fun (maybe say more choices of non-acad course like scuba-diving or sailing etc)
(d) No of Singaporeans there
(e) How highly contested it is (assuming u hate highly contested ones)
(f) Cost of living (if no scholarship will die rite...)
(g) How famous a uni is for the course u wanna do...
Help me out k? Gimme some opinions. TAG at my board!!! Thanks... ----->
