Living in Singapore can be an adjustment, especially when it comes to the weather. It’s hot and humid year-round, with temperatures hovering around 30°C (86°F) and sudden downpours being common. As students, we quickly learned to carry umbrellas and stay hydrated. Grocery shopping is relatively easy, with many options nearby, but prices can be high for imported goods. Local markets are a better bet for fresh produce at lower prices. Basic student life revolves around juggling studies, enjoying hawker center meals, and finding chill spots on campus. The vibrant mix of cultures is inspiring, and outdoor activities, like jogging around the university, are manageable if you time them early or late in the day.
