<p>My dad has the opportunity to briefly go to Singapore for 3 years for a promotion. I am currently a freshman so i would be in Singapore for the rest of my high school career. Would this look good for my college resume.</p>
<p>I lived in Singapore for 11 years before I came to the U.S. The education system there is very vigorous, and colleges understand that. I would do it. Singapore is a great place, and I’m sure you’ll have a very enriching experience.</p>
<p>thanks i think i will</p>
<p>There’s also an American School in Singapore. You could look into that.</p>
<p>Being a freshmen in Singapore, I’d advise you NOT to transfer to the public school system. It’s a lot different than it is in the States and it’s really stressful. I feel like I’m disintegrating everyday that I’m in school and it’s horrendous. I strongly suggest you enter an international school instead.</p>
<p>Even international schools here are much vigorous than in the normal schools in the States, or so I’ve heard from people while attending Model UNs. If you wanna continue your AP syllabus, go for SAS, or if you’re seeking a change to the IB syllabus, try United World College (I know quite a number of people there who got into ivies and oxbridge, their matriculation data is on their site, quite impressive), or the Overseas Family School.</p>
<p>I think it would be a plus.</p>
<p>Sets you apart from the average high school kid.</p>
<p>But more importantly, it will be a great life experience.</p>
<p>When I was about 15, I was given the chance to live in Germany for a year.</p>
<p>I turned it down because i didn’t want to leave my friends.</p>
<p>Big mistake.</p>

<p>This will neither look good not bad. Lots of US students spend part or all of their HS years outside the country. What you do need to do is find out which high school you are likely to be attending there. If you can choose between several, your parents and the people your dad will be working with will be able to help you choose. You also should talk with your parents about how they plan for you to pay for your education. Find out what the policies are for in-state residence for tuition and fees at the colleges and universities in your current state of residence. If your family is overseas when you apply to college, you might find out that you don’t qualify as a state resident anymore even if your family still owns property there.</p>
<p>Have a wonderful time!</p>
<p>Singapore is a great place. You’d end up at Singapore American school. Those kids are super smart. You’d come back being multi lingual, multi cultural, and great at engineering.</p>
<p>I lived in Singapore and tutored those kids from sas. They are, on the whole, more capable than most American public school kids I worked with our years ago.</p>
