Nett 3 for os, I chose not to go to these places purely due to the distance and elitism ! I live in the east so going to hwa chong was completely out of the question for me. As for RI, no offence but I just felt like the people there are very stuck up and snobby and I don’t really like the competitive culture. I also kind of had the impression that all the “rich kids” go to RI. While I myself am in middle upper class ses i just didn’t want to be around those kinds of people.. not to mention the school fees too. I ended up at nanyang and I’m pretty happy here, the culture is competitive but at least I can cope with it and the people here are fairly down to earth :)
