Although there are many Chinese in Singapore, the cultural differences between Singapore and China are very small, so for international students to better adapt to local life. Below, I have compiled the experience sharing of studying in Singapore for you, hoping to help you.

Introduction and sharing of the experience of studying abroad in Singapore in 2022

1. Singapore is located at the equator, with a maritime climate, wet and rainy, and the temperature is 24-30℃. Shirts, T-shirts, trousers and shorts are all standing clothes: coats are occasionally used, but they are no longer needed.

2. You can bring some common medicines such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine and external medicine through Singapore Customs, but Chinese herbal medicine is not acceptable. Because of humidity and mosquitoes, toilet water and mothballs can bring some.

Cigarettes will be fined and crushed in public. CD-ROMs and pirated publications are also prohibited and restricted.

You can take some Singapore dollars across the border of China, but not too much, in case of being seized by the customs. There are chartered currency exchange offices everywhere in Singapore, where you can exchange money, and domestic UnionPay cards can also withdraw money directly here.

5. After arriving in Singapore, first open an account locally and use a local bank card in Singapore. Although several major domestic banks have branches in Singapore, Visa and Master cards are also acceptable, but the handling fee is not low and not cost-effective.

6. The price of food and clothing in Singapore is relatively cheap, and the price of electronic products is not lower than that in China: the average monthly consumption of international students is between S $750 and S $2,500, and the specific data varies from person to person.

7. Students in private universities generally rent their own houses off campus and can share them with others. According to the different internal facilities, equipment and location, the rent ranges from several hundred to several thousand, and students can choose according to their own budget.

8. Singapore used to be a British colony, and it continues the system of Commonwealth countries to this day, so many places are different from China, such as pedestrians on the left, English sockets, and many details need attention.

9. Unless your computer is guaranteed worldwide and you can get it in Singapore, it is more cost-effective to buy one locally. Singapore has a well-developed wireless network, so it is recommended to use a notebook. You can take it with you and use it anywhere with a wireless network tag.

10. The working hours of full-time students in public universities in Singapore shall not exceed 16 hours per week. Students in private schools are not allowed to work: illegal workers will be sent back to China in the worst case, so don't take the risk.

1 1. Singapore is one of the most severely punished countries in developed countries. The controversial "flogging" cannot be abolished for a while, but the artistic conception of this punishment is not so common. However, the punishment in Singapore is still severe, and spitting, chewing gum, smoking indoors and taking drugs will all be severely punished.

12. The scenic spots worth visiting in Singapore include Langtaosha, Botanical Garden and Merlion Park. This country is very small. If you travel, three days is enough. In terms of food, whether you like it or not, you can try the family dishes and Hainan chicken rice.

13, smoking in public places, maximum fine 1000 s. In the subway, you will be fined S $500 for eating and S $0/000 for smoking.

14. In order to let China students study in Singapore with peace of mind, the Immigration Bureau stipulates that the attendance rate of students must reach over 95%. If they are warned twice or more, they will be in danger of being sent back to China.

15. In order to crack down on piracy and support genuine copies, the government has strict regulations on all downloaded games, songs, movies and so on. If found, a fine of not less than S $500 will be imposed according to the seriousness of the case.
