I normally study at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, which has proved to be a lot different than studying here at SMU. For starters, Singapore is MUCH cleaner and safer than LA. Normally I would never feel safe walking the streets at night, but in Singapore I do it all the time.

O ne of the most interesting differences is college life at the two universities. Back in the states, most students tend to live on campus or in apartments and houses together that surround the university, while here most students tend to live at home unless they are on exchange.

The best part about this experience has been meeting so many international people and learning not only about the people of Singapore, but about those of all the countries from which exchange students have come from to study. Its truly been a once in a lifetime experience.
