<p>I wouldn’t be to hasty to degrade NUS–the academic environment and stringent-ness of NUS (and other East-Asian universities) is far more competitive and active than those of BU, mainly as a cultural thing… and I must agree with limnieng.</p>
<p>BU is ranked highly in university rankings, but considering only undergraduate education, I would consider NUS to be a more rigorous school.</p>
