Embarking on anything new is always nerve-racking. And while matriculating at a university for the first time might be an exciting time in your life, it can also be intimidating to many. New school, new people, new classes. But it is also a time to discover yourself as you acquire new skills and knowledge.
At Singapore Management University (SMU), earning an undergraduate degree is more than just gaining academic knowledge. It is also a place where you’ll meet people from all walks of life and where lifelong friendships are made.
Two SOSS undergraduate students – Fiona Ng (3rd year) and Megan Choy (4th year) were awarded research grants under the Social and Family Research Fund (SFRF) from the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). Each student received $1,000 for their proposed developmental studies.

In 25 August 2017, a sudden military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine state drove an exodus of Rohingya refugees across into Bangladesh. On 28 August 2018, I started my internship with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Regional Office (UNHCR RO) in Bangkok, Thailand.
In this post, I will talk about Bangkok’s living environment, my working experience in the UNHCR RO, and end off with some advice for fellow peers who are looking to take up this internship in the near future.

Edinburgh, also known as ‘Athens of the North, is truly a beauty.
