Take bandung's advice with a pinch of salt. The locals aren't that bad. Search for the NUS Exchange group on facebook. You may also want to check out www.couchsurfing.com to meet more locals.

My reply on the other thread: Not to my knowledge but if you were to take up a Bachelor's degree, you will receive an invitation letter to apply for PR but it is subject to you finding a job in Singapore. Practically everyone who did their bachelor's degree at the local universities are eligible for...

Re: PR relations with local Graduate Degree

I was wondering about the case: Say an asian foreigner earning a master degree from one of the Singapore Govt. universities (say again either NUS or NTU) considering he or she getting a good studies result despite the area of study. Does this guaranteed here in getting a PR status? Please share you...

Hi Bubbles, Yeah you’ll probably find a lot of people in their 20’s in HC but I did meet one Singaporean guy in his 40’s. As mentioned by prana, the north-western states are quite safe like Penang for example but like anywhere else, it’s always best to be careful when traveling alone. The north-east...

Yup the Hospitality Club is definitely a great way to meet the locals. Have met some very nice people through the club. Not sure how many Malaysians actually host someone in HC and you'll find most of them in KL. Bubbles, Are you looking for Malay homes or just Malaysian homes? When you mentiond Mal...

Have you ever been to an Aussie, US or Euro University? Have you seen Asian students immersing tghemselves into the host country's culture, joining non-Asian clubs, engaging in cultural exchanges? Quasimodo, Yes in fact I’ve been to a Finnish university and also a French one. For your information, ...

Mysticalx, the world is not black and white. It doesn’t mean that because you’re right, other people must be wrong. Everyone can be right in some ways, but to various degrees. The truth is somewhere in between and the ability to find the balance is a mark of intellectual maturity. So is the ability...

And what view may that be, the one where students seeking education overseas are considered leeches, sucking the life out of the poor taxpayers, and that foreign students offer no value to the host country??? Obviously we all know how nice these places are by offering free education to non-EU citize...

Think what you like locallass. I never knew me being a male or female was such an issue. (Come to think of it, that's pretty easy to find out as I believe I have mentioned it before) If you think you're right just because I haven't replied to your last few posts, you're dead WRONG. I ain't bothered ...

In Europe, tax levels are very high. And every individual is interested to know where their money goes, as they would like to see some benefit for them.

I don’t think there’s really a need to repeat myself or what many of the other posters have already mentioned. There are definitely benefits of taking in foreign students. Call this a sort of “investment”
