Would Not Have Changed a Thing

My experience in Singapore was absolutely amazing! Singapore is a beautiful, clean, safe country that was so much fun to explore. Everyone I met there was so nice and welcoming, and I never wanted to leave. Getting to study at SMU was especially great, because the location of the school is so central and conveniently located. Not only that, but the students have so much passion and excitement for their school, that even as an exchange student I felt welcomed and like a real, valuable member of the SMU community. Plus, Singapore offers an amazing chance to explore surrounding countries in Southeast Asia! I got to visit so many countries that I never would have had a chance to visit otherwise in my life, and I am so grateful to have been able to experience so many unique and diverse cultures. I definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to get out of their comfort zone and try something new!

One of the best decisions of my LIFE!

Singapore captivated me entirely during my study abroad experience! I wouldn't change a single aspect of my semester there. The academic environment challenged me while still allowing me time to explore, perfect for balancing my studies and adventures. The convenience of traveling to neighboring Asian countries between classes and on weekends was one of the unexpected highlights, allowing me to enhance my educational journey by exploring the region with ease. I was constantly impressed by Singapore's exceptional cleanliness and security, which created an environment where I could fully enjoy my passion for cycling - even biking back to my accommodation after late-night study sessions without any safety concerns. These four months of studying abroad were the most transformative period of my life. The connections I formed with fellow international students and the experiences I shared in and outside the classroom have left an indelible mark on me. While I deeply miss the friends who became family during my academic journey abroad, I carry our memories close to my heart and remain confident that our paths will cross again someday. Singapore wasn't just where I studied - it became a second home I'll always cherish as a pivotal chapter in my educational and personal development.

Awesome Semester!

I think Singapore was perfect as a study abroad location. I always felt safe and everyone speaks English, which makes conversations and meeting people easier. I also got the chance to travel a lot in south east Asia which was awesome. Our local advisor was great, he was always there if we needed something or had any questions. The housing location was great, only 5 minutes from University! Everything was reachable via trains. I had great roommates, the team events were fun, but could have been more throughout the semester. 5/5

Four Weeks in Singapore

I had a wonderful time studying abroad in Singapore. It was first time out of the country and I knew I would be doing it alone so I wanted to go somewhere for a short amount of time and was safe for travellers. Luckily Summer in Singapore 2024 was available and I would love to go back one day. It's a diverse country with many foreigners coming and going. There were many cultures to be immersed in beyond Singaporean culture. I met some amazing people and I am very grateful for this opportunity.

Forever thankful for TEAN and SMU!

Studying abroad in Singapore with TEAN was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Before classes began, we had a week of orientation with TEAN where we got a tour of the city, ate delicious food, and got all of our registration complete for school. TEAN made what can be a challenging transition very smooth. I loved everything about Singapore from the food, the people, to the plethora of activities to do. One of the highlights of my time abroad was going on one of the TEAN excursions to Sentosa Island with everyone in my program. Another perk of going to Singapore was that travel to other countries in the Southeast Asian region was so easy! I would recommend TEAN + Singapore to just about anyone!! Incredible program that will leave you with memories and stories for a lifetime!

My Singaporean experience

Amazing study abroad program located in the heart of Singapore. The class rigor, weekend trips, and cultural events made it a spectacular semester abroad. I have made some of my life long friends here and mentors for life. If you wish to explore for of Asia and see how quickly Singapore has grown in a span of fifty years, it is a one in a lifetime opportunity.
