Frankly the issue is a lot of the singapore students who
end up in australia just have enough money to study there , they
are from family who just have enough to spare to sent them
there.
You cannot compare them to Malaysia or Indonesia or china students
... who are more well off ....!!!
Got money, you can afford to explore australia more, and experience
the culture and live there. If not enough money... beside stay at
dorm and study hard... what can you do !!!
Remember a lot of singapore students goes there because NUS they
cannot get in..... aust is the next best thing ... they are not
there enjoy oversea study life.
Whoa, ease up there, wolf. That's a lot of asusmptions you're
making.
First, as Breyton has noted, money's not the deciding
factor. Hell, I got around all right on a budget over seven
years that I saw other Singaporean students spend in less than
three. I bought a car for $1500 and it got me around good for
four years - who needs gobs of money when you know how to spend it
right? I agree with Breyton - you can either sit around and
moan about not having enough money no matter how much you have, or
you can grow up and deal with what you've got.
Second, that "I have no life because I have to study" story just
doesn't cut it. In my Honours year, I was a full-time
student, worked the maximum 20 hours allowed every week, did an
internship, tutored other students, was part of the student union
and still managed to have a social life. At the end of that,
I got into a class of 12 postgrads out of 1200 applicants.
Where there's a will, there's relatives ..., whoops, there's a way.
There's only two things in life - results and excuses.
Those who don't choose results only have themselves to blame, not
money, not time, not ANYTHING.
