WHAT OUR EXCHANGE STUDENTS SAY
These four months have been the most intense, scariest, most challenging, newest but above all, greatest experience of my entire life. I came here not knowing much about Singapore, but thanks to NTU and all its activities for the exchange students, I got to discover Singapore’s culture on a whole new level.
NTU is a beautiful, warm, welcoming and great-level school. I would love to come back here for my master or my PhD, who knows?
Thanks again for the great experience!
- Marie CadetHEC Montréal
NTU has a very strong teaching team and excellent professors of linguistic and related studies, which is the reason I chose NTU as my exchange destination. The professors I cooperated with are very nice and always care for their students. I learned a lot in their class and will keep in touch with them even after I leave NTU. In addition, NTU’s beautiful campus will be an ever-lasting great memory for me. I will miss NTU and its people forever.
- Li Shushu,Peking University
NTU Singapore’s exchange programme was thrilling for me, as I got to experience life-changing moments and meet new friends from all over the world.
I also shared the local foods and went on amazing outings to nearby islands. The exchange programme has created a life long memory for me, which I am appreciative of.
