National University Of Singapore - [NUS], Singapore, Singapore - Accommodation

There are different types of accommodations - Halls, Residences, and colleges. The application for colleges begins very soon and is super competitive. For halls, you must participate in activities to gain points in order to maintain your stay. Points can be gained by participating in CCAs, clubs, societies, sports, etc. On the other hand, Residences are relatively quieter. There are no criteria but depends just on vacancy. I stayed at Pioneer House which is a new concept recently established. It is close to the MRT station which makes it easier to commute anywhere else in Singapore. There is a canteen in the vicinity and thus, no meal plan is provided.

It is one of the top-rated colleges in the world, especially for the computer science department in which it ranks 6th. Since I was interested in CS, I was keen on joining NUS. The admission process wasn't too difficult as they did not require any extra professional exams. The admission was purely based on 12th board results.

There were a few reasons I aspired to study at NUS. First, I wanted to pursue Computer Science, so I considered factors like programme quality, university rankings and expert opinion. Second, for my undergraduate studies, I preferred not too move too far away from Singapore. So, NUS was my #1 choice. Honestly, NUS is a very prestigious institution and the fact that CS is a competitive major there motivated me to take on the challenge. I felt that graduating from here would make me well-moulded to take on real-world challenges.
