My Nanyang experience

Experience during the program

I am a part of the double degree Nanyang-Waseda programme - one of the 12 who are part of the programme. This means the first two trimesters are spent in Singapore and the final trimester in Japan.
The biggest draw for me was the availability of this programme because I wanted exposure to two different countries. The length of the programme was also a draw since it was less than two years.
Hands-down the best part are my classmates with whom I'm all friends with. They are some of the brightest, hardworking, kindest and most open-hearted people I've ever met. Its amazing being privy to the perspective of students from 25 different nationalities.
The competition for future career opportunities is very external rather than internal. Everyone is helping each other out by sharing job postings and other resources. This culture was a pleasant surprise to me personally, having experienced cutthroat competition during my undergrad.
I am staying in the newest residential hall and as expected it is clean and well-maintained, in spite of the fact that my room is small. I love the convenience of having a canteen and a computer lab as part of your hall.
The weather in Singapore is a real shock and it takes time adjusting to if you are not used to hotter climates.
Overall, the schedule has been hectic, more so than I expected but it keeps you on your toes and prepares you for future business challenges.
