hi guys, I had been thinking about this for weeks but I still can’t make a choice… (currently accepted SMU tho)
ok so ik there’s a lot of post asking about ntu vs smu biz and yes I read all of them but I nvr see anyone asking smu biz vs ntu biz & acc so ya…
I will choose accounting regardless of what school I enter (it’s just either it’s a second major or second degree). Planning to work in sg (yes ik both is good if I wanna work in sg I just need opinions HAHA)
NTU accountancy and business
pros:
-Strong accountancy program (but slightly weaker business program?)
-Relatively near my house (30min away by bus)
-guaranteed 2 years of hall stay
-Planning to major in either B&F / International trade
-Less competitive (compared to smu nus biz?)
-Can exempt econs mod (h2 econs A)
-Bigger uni campus
cons:
-heard from frds that her company doesn’t accept ntu biz students as intern
-not near CBD area so hard to intern while in sch
-workload might be heavier than smu biz (although there are quite a few overlapping mods)
-Might not use the accounting degree (since I’m not planning to work as auditor in big 4- but heard that it’s quite useful for finance)
SMU business:
pros:
-Guaranteed second major
-near CBD area so can intern and go school easier
-Finance is well known
-Planning to major in finance or operation management (can major in both ik but I want to major in accounting)
-Strong acad clubs
cons:
-Quite small campus
-GPA system might make it harder to score (since it’s out of 4 instead of 5)
-More competitive than ntu harder to do well
-No hall life
