If we are indeed at the bottom of the barrel, why are local uni students lurking this particular thread for an entire week just to make themselves feel better?

Then there's people like you -- commenting on an SIM-UOL forum @ 1+am when it's a Friday. Some local uni grads are really fking funny LOL.

Don't feel so threatened la, go sleep go sleep.

Many girls from private uni are offering services on sammyboy. Cannot find job so no choice.

You really think SIM UOL is heads and shoulders above NUS?

🤣🤣🤣

Stooping to this I see, local uni students are absolutely pathetic.

From the looks of it, it definitely seem like some NUS students are getting riled up — feeling the need to “one up” us over the Internet.

Anyhoo, don’t feel so threatened and insecure la, we will give chance 😁😁

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.

Chill leh why so angry :(

No one is disputing that on average, a local uni grad is 'better' than a private uni grad. However, not all of them are.

Won't delve into the details but just go on LinkedIn and you can find some private uni grads (esp SIM-UOL) doing either extremely well straight out of school (grad programmes in banks, big tech, FMCG etc) or worked their way up eventually (experienced hires).

Just like how doing well for PSLE, O-Levels, A-Levels isn't the be all and end all, local uni doesn't equate to success here on out. Don't be so naive.

Humility guys.

u confirm from SUTD, loser school. don't include it in the big 3 local Us please. We are not associated with your kind.

diam leh uncle. don't jerk off to forums 24/7

u in local uni meh? which school want u pls

I got a friend from SIM-UOL. He is doing very well now in his career as a professional (managed to skip ranks and promote very quickly), but has a very bad opinion of students from there. If you ask him, he will tell you that the worst/most useless staff in his organisation are from his degree program and not to hire them if possible.

Ironic but true. I think he's just stating his honest views.

Personally I never worked with SIM-UOL grads before so I can't judge.
