Comment on Appreciating Convexity by Faraz Omar

Your thoughts are always interesting and deep. But isn’t it merely the growing out of school and college that you’re experiencing this, and it not necessarily has any connection with a full-time work?

I don’t know I’m just thinking. A retired man who works in his garage, manufactures his own tools and decor, waters his garden and reads what he wants to read, also achieves the liberty to go at his own pace and enjoy fully the second without working full-time. right?

But yes definitely that feeling that u described is soo nice and true.

Very carefully…though sometimes to make a difference in this world, all caution must be thrown to the wind.

I’m an SMU graduate, and I’ve recently gotten a job posting in the UK. It’s not -quite- what you’re asking for, but it does show at least that the degree is recognised. There are actually a couple of us that are going there to work, but unfortunately none that I know of that are doing post-grad programmes. Hope it helped nonetheless. Personally I doubt it will matter that much, there are probably a number of Americans applying to the UK for postgrad programmes as well, one imagines.

Nope, I haven’t the slightest idea. I’m surprised you think I might.

Hello, I’m really grateful for your insightful post here. It has really allowed me to see both sides of the SMU system.

Just wondering whether you have any idea if i intend to do further studies in the UK after getting my Bachelor Degree, will going to SMU be less advisable since their style is actually more similar to the US style and less recognized by UK?

In such a case, might having a degree in NUS/NTU be more advisable?

Thanks alot!
