<p>I’m not sure of SMU’s quality compared to your local universities, but in terms of other public unis in Singapore… (gonna stir up some controversies I think)</p>
<p>Students take law in SMU if they don’t make it to NUS Law. (This comes from the mouth of the current students themselves during Open House)
Students take business in SMU if don’t make it to NTU (or sometimes NUS). Employment from NTU biz is the best compared to NUS and SMU.
Probably the only program in SMU that’s gonna be worth it is the double degree in Law and Business.</p>
<p>But recently, some of my schoolmates have been choosing SMU over the other two because they offer the “American” way of teaching (projects instead of exams). BUT then again… Some of my seniors have been saying that the “American” system is a farce, it’s quite far from the real one over at the States. For e.g., people who are participating in the discussions are asking stupid questions just to get participation marks… But it’s not SMU’s fault, SMU is a new university, I guess Singapore needs time to adjust from the more conventional way of learning to the American one.</p>
