上海新加坡外籍人员子女学校校友分享大学生活经验与建议

上海新加坡外籍人员子女学校（SSIS）成立于1996年，为上海外籍家庭2岁至18岁的孩子提供幼儿园至12年级的一贯制课程。SSIS培养学生们全面发展，助力自信、自强的学习者成长为极具适应性和可塑性、勇敢的未来世界领导者。 

每一年，SSIS的毕业生们奔赴世界各地，带着在SSIS的学习积淀开启下一个人生阶段——大学之旅和可能的海外生活。近期，四位来自世界各地的SSIS校友们分享了在国外的大学生活经历。

Each year, SSIS graduates matriculate to different parts of the world, bringing along their SSIS experience to embark on their next phase of their journey – university and possibly living abroad.

As part of our structured counselling guidance programme, we ensure that at the end of every academic year our Grade 12s are confident about transitioning to university life.

Four of our alumni in different parts of the world recently shared their experiences of university life in a foreign country, giving the Grade 12s the opportunity to ask their graduated seniors all their burning questions.

Alumni

Hui Yu CHAN

Hui Yu CHAN who graduated from SSIS in 2014 is currently doing her master’s degree in IT at Flinder’s University and spoke to students about study and work life in Australia.

I was once in their shoes and I understand how daunting it is to move away from home. After all, one of the strengths of the SSIS family is to help one another when we can. I hope that the students gained a few key insights and feel more confident in building a new home away from home.

Alumni

Andrew BULLA

2019 SSIS graduate Andrew BULLA is studying Material Science at Oxford University and shared his experiences of the UK .

Alumni

Michael CHUNG

Michael CHUNG who graduated from SSIS in 2021 is currently studying Economics at the University of California San Diego, and told students it was like living and studying in the US .

I decided to share my freshman college experience to my fellow SSIS scholars due to the fact that I was close to basically all of the seniors graduating this year and I just wanted to provide them with as much inside knowledge of college life as possible. Besides, it is always nice to catch up with the Sabres Family. ONCE A SABRE ALWAYS A SABRE and also GO TRITONS!”

Alumni

Hafsa Zubair SIDDIQUI

Hafsa Zubair SIDDIQUI who graduated from SSIS last year and was also a recipient of the SSIS Scholarship Award, spoke about life in Hong Kong where she is studying engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

The alumni told students what to expect and some tips to make adjusting easier. Food, safety, visa applications and cost of living were among the topics discussed. They also shared other useful advice like how to live with others in student accommodation.

The students found the sharing to be extremely beneficial in helping them to transition into university, making them feel more confident with the life path that they have chosen.

Ye Won KIM

Grade 12

The sharing was beneficial as it helped me gain perspective on living abroad, from school programmes to leisure activities. Listening to a senior who has experienced studying in a new country gave me meaningful insight that I won’t get to learn anywhere else.

Zhao Hui Millard LEE

Grade 12

I felt that the talk on university life and life in Australia in general to be extremely beneficial. It gave me a greater insight into what one can expect if he/she were to choose to go to Australia for further studies.

Xin Yi HOO

Grade 12

The session was very helpful in terms of helping me to get a view of the culture and life in another country. I feel more prepared and less nervous now for university.
