I come from France and I’m in Singapore to do an exchange semester at SMU. SMU has a really big campus, much bigger than my home university. When I arrived, I thought I couldnt find my way ever in the SMU complex but there are indications everywhere. It’s very convenient for the exchange students. Besides, I think that the campus is very lively as students spend their time in the corridors of the school where the spaces are adapted for working or just for chilling with some friends. 

Concerning education, the Professors here come from all over the world that broaden the perspective of the students. In France we don’t have a Teaching Assitant in class to take down the class participation for instance. To me, having a TA is beneficial to student’s education as it helps to create a true relationship between the teacher and the students. Finally, I would say that the class rooms are very comfortable and furnished with incredible technological means.
