Why UK?

I get many friends asking why I decided to further my studies in the UK, instead of either doing it locally or at Australia. (which was more popular with Singaporeans)

Here's why:

• In the UK, I can obtain honours in three years. Whereas in Australia, it would take four years.
• Tuition fees are actually much cheaper in the UK, compared to tuition fees in Australia.
• The school term in Australia starts in February 2009 whereas the school term in UK starts in September 2008.
• Why does it matter? Simply because I ORD in September 2008. Rather than allowing myself to have an excuse to lazy around for nearly half a year, I figure it would be a good idea to start studying soon.
