National University of Singapore - NUS Speciality : Earth & Marine Sciences
programme: Environmental Geography

One overlooked gem of NUS is its urban farming program. Hidden among the modern campus buildings are micro-farms run by students. Whether it’s harvesting fresh veggies for a dorm dinner or volunteering to plant herbs, it’s a refreshing way to disconnect from screens. Another unique feature is the Wellness Weekends, where students organize wellness fairs with activities like yoga on rooftops and mindfulness workshops. Late-night chats on the university’s green terraces are unmatched—the city skyline feels distant, and the sense of connection among peers is deeply fulfilling.
