The university is located in a small and quaint city, and people generally walk or cycle to get from place to place. The weather is fairly decent on most days, though watch out for the cold in the winter! While the workload may be heavy, it is always possible to make time to explore the city, travel across and outside the UK, as well as try out new sports and activities! The Singaporean community is fairly large, and it is highly likely that you will overhear a conversation in Singlish from time to time. Finally, it is definitely a good idea to do some research on the colleges when choosing one to apply to. Some things to consider include location (distance from city center, your department etc), food as well as accommodation sites. If you need any other forms of support or information, you can approach the Malaysian and Singaporean society here!
