Personal comments
Living on campus will save you alot. The monthly expences on a room (with roommate) will be around 120-150 Singdollars. This includes free broadband-access and free water- and electric utilities.

Personal comments
First of all; the language that we used was English, which is the business- and university language of Singapore. I spoke English pretty well before going there, but I improved substantially not only in the business-terminology, but also in the local slang, which sould be difficult even for an English-speaking person.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I highly recommend it! Its a "clasical" university in the sense that it contains a lot of clubs, fascilities and possibilities, whether you are interested in chess or karate. It is one of the best universities of Asia, and because of its young age, it is still climbing. Singapore as a city is one of the most cosmopolitan and buzzling cities in the World. You will meet a lot of interesting persons!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although a great experience, sharing a room with another person could be a bit too much over time. The University was also decentralised compared to the business-community and other facilities.

Personal comments
Very, very cheap. Close to fellow students and classrooms. Top-class training fascilities. Good student community. On the flip-side; far from the Singapore Business District and Downtown. Very limited privacy.
