Selecting a college or university to study plays an important role in most people's life. The university we go to does not only affect our knowledge but it influences our point of view and our career as well. Upon realizing this importance, I have spent much of my time looking for an appropriate university .Finally, the one which I look to as the next step in my academic journey is the National University of Singapore (or often called the NUS). The motivating factors for my decision are threefold: the university's prestige, diversity and modern facilities. .
Until last year, I have known very few about the NUS. I only knew at that time it was a famous university somewhere in Singapore. Things began to change when I met a student in my school who was admitted to the NUS last summer. He told me a lot about this new university. Through his recommendation, the university appeared before my eyes to be a wonderful place where the most intelligent minds work together. This makes the NUS a good match for me as I, myself, am very enthusiastic about my study. Furthermore, when everybody around me does try their best to get the highest result, it creates a great atmosphere which will force me to strive more and more.
After gathering more information about the NUS by the Internet, seminars and so on, I learned that the NUS is not only composed of a great number of students but students from around the world as well. This multifarious student body has proved that the university's reputation has spread worldwide. It also helps me a great deal since I am not a native Singaporean. As a result, at the NUS, I will not be ashamed that I am the only international student, but there are thousands of students like me. They will probably help me to get used to the new Singaporean culture and lifestyle. Moreover, working with students of the same or even higher intellectual level from different countries will be a new but interesting experience of mine.
