Were you with us yesterday?
Did you join us for the SEP Sharing Session? YES to more than 20 students!
I believe it was a fruitful session for all. We honorly invited our returning students to share their wonderful and memorable experiences with the rest. On behalf of the society, I wish to
Thanks Bingfang, Joyce, Lay Kian, Zhibo, Naijun, Rentian, Guo Qing for sharing their SEP experience, and
Thanks Max and Matthias, our exchange students from Germany and Switzerland to share with us from a different perspective!
Not to forget, I have to thank Alex, Faith, Siwei, Lu Shan, Winnie, Gabriel, Esther, Kami, Boon Song who participated last semester. It might be late, but we always appreciate and remember how nice you all were!
All right, let’s return to topic. Consider that a number of you who could not attend the session in both semesters, we have consolidated the contacts from our returning students and exchange students. However, in order to protect their confidentiality, I would only list down their major/faculty in NUS and which university they went in Germany/Switzerland. If you would like to ask them any questions, feel free to send us an email and we will attach their contact in reply.

In addition, I wish to share some websites that we found very useful in pre-departure preparation and living & travelling in Germany.
Singapore Students' Association of Germany (www.ssag.de)
This is a very useful website that I would suggest you to look at. Under the "Guide" session, you can find substantial information about the predeparture preparation, living and travelling in Germany. Besides, you might want to join the activities organized by them too. A great way to know more Singaporeans in Germany!
DAAD Information Center Singapore (www.ic.daad.de/singapore)
Singapore Embassy in Berlin (http://www.mfa.gov.sg/berlin/)
Couchsurfing Project (www.couchsurfing.com)
Mitfahren (Google it and you will get list of carpool websites)
Wohnungssuche (www.wg-gesucht.de)
Thank you for all the supports! & hope to see you guys in our upcoming events!
