    NUS: Life at a campus university 

    February 12, 2024 /

    By Reuben Passi, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore One of the main differences between NUS and UOM that I knew before coming was that whereas UOM is a hybrid campus university due to its seamless connections to the city, NUS is a full-on large-scale campus university which even has its own 5-line bus system that operates every day for free across the campus!

🥁Drum roll please.... 🥁 Ok... so maybe the Go Abroad team won't be asking for your autograph Why not switch out the hustle and bustle of Oxford Road for Canadian lakes 🤔 "5 of us took a trip up to Yosemite national park and spent our fall break hiking, biking and taking in all the stunning views. We even tried to go swimming in the river but it was freezing. Nevertheless I really enjoyed my time and hope to visit more national parks in California." - From our Global Ambassador Ciara in LA! 🏊🚲 Are you going abroad for Semester 2 of this academic year? ✈️ "Studying in Hong Kong meant I had the opportunity to visit Japan during reading week! These photos are from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. We got to experience the vibrant streets and busy city life of Tokyo and Osaka, as well as the more traditional sights and temples in Kyoto.🌃🏯🎎 And, of course, plenty of shopping along the way! 🛍️🛍️ Are you considering studying at American universities for your time abroad?🦅 There is reduced opening hours at the Go Abroad desk in the Atrium during reading week (2nd-6th November) 📣 We might be slightly biased about how great going abroad is...
