Or according to Today, a rising star, an established leader and the geeks — SMU, NUS and NTU respectively.
This survey, done on undergrads, JC and poly students, tries to identify the 3 major universities and how those students perceive those schools.
For me, its pretty clear. Need not look at their syllabus nor their results. Just look at where they are located.
SMU will be located right smacked in town. They are only minutes away from, Orchard Road. The hippest place in this island. You have more malls, cinemas and foodcourts per sq feet than any other location.
NUS is located at the West Coast. Minutes from Holland V, Sixth Avenue and only slightly away from districts with houses you’d only see on television. Mind you, those houses have drive-ways … and beat that, a fountain, right in the middle. Chances are, they have more cars than you have matchbox models. Needless to say, these area contains the most CEOs, white pants etc.
Lastly, NTU. Beside the campus, the most populated area nearby, are the cemetries along Lim Chu Kang road. Only ONE major mall nearby. And that meant a thirty minutes ride on the bus, if you are lucky.
So, need a better way to classify the 3 universities?
