    Living in Singapore!

    August 28, 2023 /

    by Sofia Roche Vidaurre, National University of Singapore, Singapore The first thing that stands out about the city is the abundant nature. It is great for those who enjoy walking around metropolitan areas while having the option of getting lost in nature. The famous Gardens by the Bay is a mix between the futuristic Super trees and Cloud Forest, providing a sanctuary of greenery and tranquility. And only 30min away by public transport there is beaches on Sentosa Island to enjoy hotter tropical days!

Spent the weekend in Boston exploring Fenway Park, Harvard, the MassArt Museum and more! The T made it easy to get everywhere while keeping things a bit more sustainable. - GA Amy ❄🚄 🌍#globalambassador #uom_goabroad A weekend trip to Washington DC! Perfect place for politics and history students as it was very educational with free museums and historical buildings to visit! - GA Amy 🇺🇸🧡 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad Our Global Ambassadors write blog posts about their experience studying abroad to inspire and help future students, developing skills from effective communication to storytelling 📝 Interested? Apply now - the deadline is next Friday! 🤩 #uom_goabroad  #globalambassador Some pictures from the start of my second semester at ANU! I've had a wonderful time visiting a local vineyard, a sunflower maze, going in a hot air balloon at the Canberra balloon spectacular and watching the skyfire fireworks over lake burley griffin with friends :) - GA Lily 🎈🧡 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Same thing. Said two ways. Both agree that you should apply now. #uom_goabroad Some of the fun activities and events that Rutgers has put on for free for all students! A stand-up set by Caleb Hearon, basketball games, a Coach pop-up event, a trip to see the New Jersey Devils play and a trip to the United Nations in New York! - GA Amy 🏀🇺🇸 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad My trip to New York in December, as a layover on my way home. I went to the top of the rock, watched a show, and visited the MET. For students on a travel grant especially, a long layover is a great way to see new places, especially if your journey home is as long as the one from Australia to the UK. - GA Lily ✈️🇺🇸 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Scholarship opportunity for undergraduate students completing an international experience! Open to any student completing a study abroad, summer school, or a work, internship or traineeship placement in 2026 🌍 First snow in New Jersey, the east coast gets cold and new weather conditions is all part of the new experiences on exchange! - GA Amy ❄ #uom_goabroad #globalambassador
