Matters needing attention for "novice" international students studying in Singapore

Every country has its own unique culture and differences in food or climate, so you should know something to pay attention to before you arrive. Take studying in Singapore as an example. Although there are many people in China, the teaching mode is very different from that in China. The school pays more attention to students' self-study ability and teamwork ability. Each subject will have one or two tasks, which need to be completed in groups.

When you report to school, you should also pay attention to the following questions:

1. Most schools will provide shuttle service for new international students. If your school provides pick-up service, be sure to specify the contact information when picking up the plane.

2. You need to prepare a suit for formal occasions. Take a walk in the international student service center of the school and make sure that you will participate in various activities, such as orientation activities.

According to the regulations of Immigration and Checkpoint Bureau, you must get a valid student pass within one month after you arrive in Singapore.

4. The Singapore Immigration Bureau requires that the attendance rate of international students in class should not be less than 90% per month, otherwise the visa will be refused; If students need to take time off due to illness during their study, they need to apply to the dean of the college and provide a sick leave form issued by a regular doctor. Only after approval can they take time off. Anyone who takes leave or returns to China for more than 60 days must reapply to the Singapore Immigration Bureau after the student visa expires, and cannot apply for extension.

It is suggested to take all your documents to Singapore, which is likely to be used in the process of applying for further study in the school. Prepare a certain number of 2-inch and 1 inch bareheaded photos for emergencies.

6. When you first arrive in Singapore, you can bring some money for a rainy day. Renminbi, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars can all be exchanged for new coins here.

As Singapore is a Commonwealth country, all schools teach in English, which requires students' English level to be higher. Therefore, students should strengthen their English study before studying in Singapore.
