NUS: Some things to ponder

Dear readers, I regret to inform that instead of telling you how the human race straddles the top of the food chain from the kitchen, this continuum of valid and useful information has to be interrupted by a deep and engaging rant

1) Is Flag a fundraising event to help beneficiaries or just an excuse for Hall A to prove that its better than Hall B?

2) Why do Halls insist that its for the needy if they draw distinction between Faculty and Hall flag collections? If its really charity does it matter who you join?

3) Why cant NUS use some of the money earned from the increased fees to develop a better Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, to improve its career services, to buy new equipment for the gym and a whole host of other amenities? Instead, it has decided to shift its very small law faculty (by small i mean in terms of population) all the way to another campus, and charter a bus service that will cost petrol and labor at a continuous rate,?A tremendous waste of money.

4) Why is there a need to procure a campus in Bukit Timah when you are already expanding into Warren Golf course?

5) Why the hell would anyone go to NUS Biz and study marketing when its marketing campaign (read: lame ass ads) obviously sucks?

6) How does reminding everyone that NUS is a 100 years old benefit current students?

7) Who benefits from an education in NUS? Students entering the workforce or Professors looking for promotions?

8) What impact does someone being offered an honorary title in a foreign university have on student lives?

9) Can an arts degree be useful to anyone not doing postgrad work?

10) Instead of insisting that arts graduates are versatile and can work in a myriad of industries, why not just indicate their bloody major in the certificate?

Argument between the 3 unis.

NTU: We may be boring, but our students have the best in hands on education
SMU: We may be new but our career direction ensures grads that start work immediately
NUS: Im a 100 years old so all of you shut up.

Polys: All you U-grads dont know shit, its always us getting the job done while u assholes argue abt why you're better you square hatted mother fuckers!

*rant over*
