What do you guys think about Yale NUS?

Apparently it is some new thing they are starting this year....it is a liberal arts school in singapore that is technically part of "Yale". Hmmmm....anybody interested? I wonder though, if academic standards will be as high as Yale's.

D1 has a friend who graduated with her who is part of the Admissions staff, he's been there a year now getting things ready.

Here's a recent NYT article about the college and some of the controversy surrounding it:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/ed...pagewanted=all

Quote:
Richard C. Levin, the university’s president, said the faculty had no vote on the project because it would not affect the college. It was approved by the Yale Corporation, the governing board. Yale officials take pains to explain that Yale-N.U.S., which will be paid for entirely by Singapore, will not be Yale but a distinct institution with its own president and its own diploma.

I'm applying there, especially because of the new facilities and seemingly awesome residential colleges. But then I'm applying to NUS and Yale too. :P
