As an international student, I was initially nervous about adapting to life at NUS, but the university community made the transition much smoother. The diversity on campus is one of the highlights—I’ve met people from all over the world and learned so much from interacting with different cultures. I’m studying in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and I love the interdisciplinary approach and the flexibility to take courses outside my major. One challenge has been the high cost of living in Singapore, which can add stress on top of the academic pressures. However, the quality of education and the vibrant campus life make it worth it in the end.
