The concept of a city campus is indeed quite exciting. When I was in high school I heard that the learning environment at SMU is quite unorthodox. Hence, I felt that it was definitely worth a shot. Indeed, my experience thus far has been quite exciting! I had the opportunity to lead as an Events Director in SMU Marketing Club (Smarketing).

The main reason why I chose SMU was her seminar-style lecture as well as the numerous global exposure opportunities such as overseas community service projects (OCSP) and international student exchange experiences. For this, I’ve always kept in my mind the importance of making the most out of what SMU has to offer over the four years of my studies. I’m looking forward to my internship, followed by an overseas exchange programme in Fudan University, China. This year is going to be real exciting. I thank SMU for the development and exposure opportunities that it has offered me!

One particular factor I like about SMU is the numerous overseas programmes that students can participate in. I have visited China on a study mission and went to Canada for a summer study programme. Going for these overseas programmes allow me to work better in teams and understand other cultures better.

SMU takes a different approach towards academic life. Using MBA-styled seminar rooms, it focuses more on the students and encourages greater class participation. Having been to other universities while on exchange in the USA, I can say without a doubt that SMU offers top of the class academic experiences, with a great teaching faculty.

I have just started my course at SMU, and I really like Singapore. I believe Singapore has great prospects and has the best practices one can experience from both the east and the west. SMU’s unique teaching method encourages better interaction between our professors and the students in a seminar-style setting. Besides that, SMU has a comprehensive programme for internship and career workshops. My professors and classmates in SMU are also very kind and helpful, and this makes me feel at home. For my peers in China who are thinking of an education abroad, you need to step out of your comfort zone.

Choosing SMU may be the best decision that I have ever made thus far. I have the opportunity to see the world through global exposure programmes such as a student exchange programme in Sweden, an overseas internship, and community service project in Indonesia. SMU also allows me to push myself to the limits and venture beyond my comfort zone. I believe that life is a journey of discovering yourself and drawing your own map. It always comes as a surprise to me that every time I am out of my comfort zone, I discover more about myself and am capable of so much more than I think I can achieve.
