Course recommendations
The courses are graded on a curve which is different from quite a few American universities. Also Finals are heavily weighted which is a difference (>50% typically). Singaporeans work hard so the curve makes it a little harder to get the A. Overall though, I felt they were fair and learned quite a bit in some of my courses.

Somehow the classes felt more intimidating especially because the curve and the heavy weight on only a couple exams but it was ok.

Their is a bit of a divide between local and exchange students, as local students mostly think exchange students are not serious about work and are only here to travel.

The workload to be more fluent per module. There were a lot of work clashes within modules alone let alone with your different modules.

I wasn't used to an American-like academic system but i think it's more efficient and fair In Italy we are expected to study much more deeply the text book and learn almost at memory mainly on theoretical basis. American system focused more on practical issues.

There is little or no class discussion. Classes are otherwise similar to North America.
