The Singapore Management University finally moved into its new
home at Bras Basah on Sunday.
After spending 5 years at the Bukit Timah campus, Singapore's third
university marked its move with a colourful symbolic march to its
City Campus.
Some 1,000 students and staff paraded down Orchard Road, Bras Basah
Road and Stamford Road before entering SMU's spanking new
premises.
Set up in 2000, SMU is Singapore's first private university funded
by the government.
It has some 3,000 students in four schools: the Lee Kong Chian
School of Business, the School of Accountancy, the School of
Economics and Social Sciences and the School of Information
Systems. - CNA /ch
