There are pro and con in studying in US university if you would
asked in an Singaporean point of view :
1) There is no ranking label like
"first-class","second-class" honour for US bachelor, however your
GPA grade must be 4.5 and above then you can graduate.
2) United States remains the finest education destination for
higher education,this is not diffcult to see from World
Universities ranking.
3) Usually almost all their degree is Multi-disciplinary,
this mean that if you choose business, you will not study only
business but humanities and science etc so that you are expose to
different area.
But the con might be the reason why Singaporean would choose to
go to UK or Australia to study instead :
1) Even if you are an Polytechnic diploma holder, there is no
advanced standing to any US universities.Only some modules are
exempted.In fact you still need to take an Associates
degree which is just like half of a bachelor's degree, or
(often) the first two years of study in a four year (standard
US) bachelor's degree.Only UK and Australia Universities
provide this opportunity.
2) The currency pair between USA and Singapore is not an
advantage to study, although UK is even worse.Imagine you spend S$7
to eat an Macdonald in US compared to S$5 meal in
Singapore.Not to forget to mention local Americans ' degree
cost is usually low compared to the similar degree
for International student.
3) Singapore has many better finanical aid for local U, in fact
if you intend to study for PH.D, there is an NGS Scholarship
where there is monthly stipend of S$3,200 up to 4 years and
even payment of full tuition fees up to 4 years of PhD.I don't
think US would so nice to provide that.(correct me if I am
wrong)
