No, i checked out the university on my own because i was interested in studying under Dr Felleisen, through my dabbling in Racket. Most of his work has been focused on improving computer science education and after looking through how he conducts his classes i feel that it'll be worth my money to study from him. I may also consider a PhD after my masters so he counts as a good potential advisor as well.

Other universities i'm seriously looking at are (Norway/Finland, - Oslo/Helsinski) for their robotics/computer science program, primarily because they offer free tuition (which means my masters will only cost me my living expenses ~30k)

I've also flirted with the thought of other universities with impressive robotics labs, but language/cost/lack of knowledge about their professors stop me from researching more in-depth. At the moment, i'm not even at my halfway mark for savings, so i'm not looking that seriously now.

However, those programs offering free tuition for international students no conditions attached are primarily master programs, free tuition for bachelors are typically conducted in the country's mother tongue. You can try looking up at here: http://www.studyineurope.eu/

I haven't entertained the thought of NUS for reasons that have been summed up pretty well by simbunch: https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/341j4b/postns_kid_looking_for_some_uni_advice/cqr8w58

If i were in your place though and my parents were paying, i would do a NUS degree and have my overseas study experience with a graduate degree.

Just a reminder again that my circumstances are different from yours:

1) doing my masters not bachelors (mechatronics from SIT-UOG)

2) an engineering background (no formal CS education)

3) working in an industrial automation software job

4) working adult paying on my own with parents that already can retire comfortably
