My exchange year at NUS was life-changing. It broadened my horizons and taught me resilience in adapting to new environments. The competitive atmosphere at NUS was challenging but rewarding—it pushed me out of my comfort zone academically and socially. Smaller classes were particularly engaging as they allowed for deeper discussions with professors who were passionate about their subjects. While finding quiet study spots on campus could be tough due to its bustling nature, places like the Medical Library became my go-to haven for productivity. The cultural diversity on campus enriched my experience further; I felt truly connected to the global student community here
