Why did you choose SMU?
"SMU’s seminar-style teaching differs from other universities. Its emphasis on class participation to encourage students to voice their opinions or queries allows for more engaging seminars, and ensures that we are able clarify any doubts.
This, along with the many opportunities to present in class regardless of course, help develop a student’s confidence in public speaking—a much needed life skill in this ever-changing, highly competitive VUCA world.
Having attended the SMU Open House, I was impressed by how its students were the ones who did most of the sharing. The confidence they displayed during their presentations, as well as their ability to articulate their thoughts, were big factors in influencing my decision to join SMU.
Moreover, with SMU being strategically located in the city, I have more time to spend on doing things that I enjoy."
