University Trend



Perhaps, people would see I was crazy because I took a photograph like a stranger. That picture was taken in south spine, Nanyang Technological University, my campus. Now, there are various schools offered by a technological university. The example is above. There are International Studies( Before the name was Institute of Defence Strategies), Business School, and Humanities School. The advantage of this founding, one of all, is to improve the quality of that school especially if it will be reviewed in th university world ranking(that what my professor said), because the rank of a university will be higher if there are more various schools inside. That is the point which was graded in Times Higher Magazine. So, it isn's strange if there are many technological university build the various schools. The example is ITB(Indonesia) with its Business and Management School, NTU with its various school, and Curtin University of Technology (Australia) with its Business School.

The founding of that new school was quite succesful. Some of us know about these person. In the last Academic Year, the Rajaratnam Int'l Studies ( Before IDSS ) had got its graduates. Agus Yudhoyono, son of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono; Loro Horta, son of the Timor Leste Prime Minister; and Hekmat Karzai, cousin of Afghan President Hamid Karzai; were Masters students at IDSS. Besides, many International Students also studied there.

I hope this will not absorb the quality of the best student in a country to enter the university. I am not the best student, so I enter the university abroad. It is funny, hahaha....
