<p>um i think naff’s being a bit harsh,NUS does have a solid world wide rep…</p>

42

<p>btw sJ3,wat course hv u got at Imperial,coz if money isnt a problem i dont think u shud look beyond london…</p>

43

<p>Electronics and Electrical eng at imperial…
yea im considering… it costs almost as double as NUS dus…</p>

44

<p>yeah like 25000 pounds a year,including living…well its a tough decision,but the economy is booming in asia not UK…</p>

45

<p>did u apply to any univs in the US?</p>

46

<p>dus anyone kno the procedure for accomodation…
like if u want the A rooms at prince georges residencies…and theres only abt 250…is it reserved r on a first come first serve basis??</p>

47

<p>only 4…mit cornell upenn and bucknell… kinda stupid…i kno…
wailists from upenn and bucknell</p>

<p>all for E.eng.</p>

48

<p>accomodation guidelines are in the freshman package…wats special with the rooms in prince georges residencies??</p>

<p>PGP looks more like a ‘condominium’ with private facilities. I quote from the website: “10% of the single rooms (Type A) are air-conditioned, with attached bathrooms, 20% of these are Type B, (single room with washbasin), and remaining 70% are standard Type C rooms”. –> meaning that Type C rooms are the same as other Halls’ rooms where residences have to use shared facilities of toilets (and yes, basins too).</p>

<p>You can look at the PGP floorplans over here: <a href=“http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/housing/acc/pgpr_flrplan.html[/url]”>http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/housing/acc/pgpr_flrplan.html&lt;/a&gt; Summary of rates of all avilable on-campus housing is found here: <a href=“http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/housing/acc/ug_rates.html[/url]”>http://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/housing/acc/ug_rates.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>and SJ3, as for whether it is done on first-come-first-served basis, I’m really not sure. Try looking under the list of FAQs or email the OSA (Office of Student Affairs) :)</p>

<p>hi anonamous, I had a quick scan through NUS’ website and it says that “If you have submitted a complete application before the application closing date, your application will be processed and you will be informed officially of your application outcome in writing, by post, approximately 8 weeks after the application closing date.” </p>

<p>Since the application closing date for international students is 31st March (as seen here: <a href=“http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/catd/instru.htm[/url]”>http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/catd/instru.htm&lt;/a&gt; ), you may get your reply by the end of May I should think. </p>

<p>For more queries you can check out this page: <a href=“http://www.askadmissions.nus.edu.sg/[/url]”>http://www.askadmissions.nus.edu.sg/&lt;/a&gt; for FAQs and even drop them an email enquiry. </p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

56

<p>Oh Wow… Thx alot guys. I thought the NUS website was weird… i didnt know how 2 get information in its website. Thx alot anyway!!!</p>

57

<p>no problems, always ready to help whenever possible! :)</p>

<p>and lol… it does need some getting-used-to when navigating around its website…! :D</p>

58

<p>check ur track… if it says processing app then ull prbably hear from them v soon… else theyr probably waiting for some additional stuff from u…
email <a href=“mailto:oamcsc@nus.edu.sg”>oamcsc@nus.edu.sg</a> and ask them if u wanna kno for sure…</p>

59

<p>yeah do that…email them…sJ3 hv u decided about Imperial yet??</p>

60

<p>well for we indians … thge outcome of admissions are held till the results for class 12 external examination comes by … and thus moreso making it diffficult for us to choose and play game types… and no email or anything can tell us our status as of now …</p>

<p>Asof others well i have seen a typical response time of around 2-3 working days for the NUS in matters related to the Admission and general or typical case specific queries…</p>
