NUS BBA teasession, 24th May 08

Okay, is time for a little update on my Uni choice. Just attended NUS BBA teasession yesterday in the University Cultural Hall. Great location. It seems like NUS has a really good career service office. Okay, thats not the point. NUS is really rich and generous. They are willing to spend bucks to attract students. They held a luncheon, inviting all potential BBA students to Orchard Hotel, 8-course meal man! Then the BBA Teasession where the location is wow, and they serve nice cakes too!

During the Teasession, I talked to one of the big shots from NUS BBA, she asked what I am being offered, and I told her Concurrent Degree BBA + MSc. Then she asked, ‘So you have accepted the offer?’ Obviously not yet, and her reply was ‘Wah, give you direct master, still don’t want to accept yet ar?’ (Those aren’t the exact words, but the meaning is there) Is the offer really that great? I had one friend saying me stupid that I still need to kill my brain cells thinking of my Uni choice as it’s so clearly that NUS has given me the best offer among the 2 versities I chosen.

So what’s my choice? Wait, not finish yet. When we were in the bus touring NUS, the Bizad President, Richie said he faced the same dilemma 2 years ago, but his choice to NUS was triggered by Dr Mahathir because when Dr M was giving a speech in SMU, he kept mentioning NUS. So, since a Prime Minister talks about the school, the school must be a good school, aye?

I think I would be stupid if I don’t go NUS for its USP, MSc and the flexible choice of cross faculty module. And since SMU has cheated my feeling by saying that they will reply us the outcome last week, I have decided to choose NUS. But I still like SMU, for its campus, style and culture. I used to think that the class participation thing is a very attractive feature of SMU, but I believe if I want to talk, i can speak up anywhere, and talk with passion, instead of being pressured to talk. Well, I guess, I’ll just have to be practical and choose the one which gives me more opportunities.
