<p>i think spencer did a good job in providing an alternative perspective amidst all the hype SMU (in particular its publicity office) is generating</p>
<p>frankly speaking i was almost bought over by their propaganda until i saw spencer’s posts…he might be a little biased, but his comments certainly made me look at this whole issue more objectively</p>
<p>NUS/NTU are still reputable institutions that offer very rigorous programs, something which SMU (whether due to its short history or otherwise) has yet to prove convincely…and the average entry grade for SMU is still lower than the more established/prestigious faculties/courses in NUS/NTU</p>
<p>nowadays i see at least 3-4 half page SMU ads in the local papers every single day…thats kinda over-doing it</p>
