Study Abroad Programs in Singapore

Singapore lies below the west area of Malaysia and is made up of a main island and more than 60 islands and inlets. With endless Chinese shophouses, smoky temples, and skyscrapers, your time in your Singapore study abroad program will be a whirlwind full of adventures. Here are the best places to study abroad in Singapore.

Singapore City. The “Lion City” or the “Little Red Dot” offers malls for you to shop until you drop, ancient rainforests for you to discover Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, and chilli-spiked crab and other dishes to tingle your tastebuds. Here you can stroll through the Botanic Gardens to take your mind off your studies, hop on a bumboat to explore the island, and take pics of art in converted colonial barracks. You can enjoy a full tropical experience and take advantage of a year-round sunny climate with activities such as windsurfing, wakeboarding, and overnight biking excursions.

The city’s most popular beach, the East Coast Park, stretches more than nine miles and is a favorite destination for international students looking for fun outdoor activities and an exciting nightlife. From enjoying a picnic to feeling the sea breeze to playing volleyball with your classmates, this park offers a gateway to fun, and with a view of the cityscape and anchored boats, you’ll be glad you stopped by.

Singapore’s buildings artfully combine colonial and contemporary styles of architecture. The century-old Raffles Hotel is an iconic colonial-era structure. There are also the uniquely Singaporean Esplanade and the ultra modern Marina Bay Sands. This may be the only country where you never have to worry about stepping on chewing gum. From the sidewalks to the public bathrooms, the level of general cleanliness here is truly rare.
