ic ic...do you know when is the time? You mean both universities have it on this weekend?

She has the IELTS test on Saturday, so I guess she won't be able to make it. That test will take almost the entire day Neutral

Don't whoa first, somebody might know a shorter route. As I've said, I'm quite dumb when it comes to traveling routes. And I only know the route I posted.

Luckily, from Jurong East to Boon Lay, only 3 stops. Laughing

hisoka SG

maybe sunday?

I don't think it's necessary to go Open House Laughing If you're just there to check on the "environment", I think it's not all that different

rainee SG

seems like they only have it on saturday Neutral

So far havent got feedback over at NTU. My friends at NUSBiz say it's not worth studying biz over there.

Moral of the story.. ask ur student to find Gacky.. hand in hand we go SMU admin block. Mr. Green

lolz NTU has partnership in accountacy degree with my school last time, just found out Laughing

rainee SG

from what I have gathered so far:

NTU has a better course for accountancy
NTU is very secluded, hard to find transport there
Not as high ranking as NUS

NUS more recognized, higher ranking
Does not have a specialization in accountancy
Quality of accountancy program (or rather business program, cos there is no specialized accountancy program there) is not as good as NTU one

hisoka SG

but in the end both lousy lah. go Harvard Laughing

MBA wise...NTU has a very much better ranking as compared to NUS in Financial Times, but for undergraduate business degree, no such ranking available yet.

From SMU's open house website: http://www.smu.edu.sg/openhouse/2007/whysmu.asp

"Our graduates’ employment record is impeccable: 100% were employed within six months, with 66% offered jobs even before they graduated and 70% receiving at least two offers or more. Our top 20% graduate employees take home an average salary of more than S$4,600 per month, reflecting their rising earning power*

The choice is clear. An education that provides you the skills that last a lifetime that encourages you to transform yourself and make a difference!"

I don't know which one is better.

i'd say going to the open house is impt. go to the various institutions' website and check out their programmes lined up for this weekend. attend the workshops, seminars, listen to the lecturers/students speak for themselves.

u're gonna be in it (time, money, effort) for the next 3 to 4 years. better see for yourself before deciding.

rainee SG

I have already gone to the NTU one. I cannot find the open day for NUS.

the one lined for NTU is not really possible for my student. The talk about the accountancy/business degree will start around 1045 until 11 sth. She will be taking her exam in JB at that time.

hisoka SG

actually i would take propaganda and advertising wiht a bucket of salt.

6 months to get 100% employment isn't exactly short. 66% getting job offers early is probably just them being kiasu and hte hiring season beign b4 graduation date.(btw thye might definte gradtuation date as when the don the gown etc which is like 2-3 months after the exams for NUS)

top 20% but doesn't say anythign about the rest. hmmz wait top 20% graduate employees means the graduates they hire? Confused

nbs is nanyang business school. it belongs to ntu.

its rating is the highest in singapore due to its accountry course.

798 SG

madster86 SG

madster86 SG

CoolMyth SG

Go SMU. Cool

for those of u who easily typed "nus better", can justify?

NBS is accredited with AACSB and EQIUS, their accountancy program is recognised by ICPAS and ACRA. NUS Biz fac has AACSB, but not EQUIS, and their 'just out of the oven' accountancy program recently failed to obtain ACRA and ICPAS recognition. NTU's Accountancy program has a track record of producing outstanding accountants for the past many years, can NUS boast of any?

from what i know, the top business school in singapore currently is still nanyang business school. SMU is coming up, but not there yet.

This may sound offensive, but NUS is ranked higher than NTU becos they're a full uni wif law and medicine fac. If u compare fac individually, especially biz, i'll say ntu wins hands down. The onli advantage NUS has over NTU is probably the name "NUS".

Even though i'm biased towards NTU, at least i state facts to support my case. Very Happy

FireIce SG

NTU's nanyang business school has a stronger track record compared to NUS.......

NTU hostel no priority to foreign students?
