busy busy bee

Have been occupied by all the preparation work prior to departure to France.
To be a R3 admit means I have few weeks to arrange for financing before the deposit deadline, ie. bank loans, personal loan, lottery (in my dream...), and to arrange for housing at Fonty etc.

will write more on financing later.

by the way, a small observation. From INSEAD's student portal, we are able to view the profile of each future classmate and their choice of campus to start the programme. There seems to be a trend for European to prefer the Singapore campus and for Asian to choose the France campus.

I presume the reasons are:
- to convince the Adcom of our 'internationalism', an important aspect highly valued by INSEAD's diverse community, and our enthusiasm to adventure into the less familiar zone, we strategically opt for the campus at the other continent from where we currently base :)
- the grass opposite is always greener. Or, after too many years of living in a familiar culture, we see more of the imperfections of an area, and tend to fantasize about the others, like in a relationship.

The choice of campus will be determined by our targeted geographical location for future career.
After the first 2 terms (INSEAD requires us to spend at least 2 periods at the campus where we start), what would be our preferences? to be observed.. :)
