Degrees awarded by NUS/NTU/SMU/SUTD will always be a viewed in a brighter light compared to SIM’s distance-learning ones. No one here is disputing that. Beyond the curriculum, the local Us already have the best pick of the cohort as a result of the competitive entry requirement.

But why the toxicity of trolls here? The deliberate belittlement is disgusting.

Either a) they’re not local uni students but are self-hating private uni grads themselves. Because I have not come across peers in my local u cohort sooo inflammatory to private u grads.

Or b) the trolls are really from local u with raging insecurities stemming from experience; probably got ousted by a private u kid during AC or something and realized his second-lower from a local u doesn’t signal intellect.
