I don't think ICL is that much a favourite in my batch, but a classmate of mine from ICL is off for a fellowship in Den Haag (forgot which institution though.. sigh) which he received from the school :) also the Centre of International Law has been blossoming lately so I wouldn't worry too much about job prospects post graduation!
@APatt
I'm not trying to discourage you, but I don't think there would be much to do during your first semester at least. Not a lot of internship offers will be around in the first half of the course save for the winter break, plus I won't really suggest paralleling your studies with internship somewhere else. The studying load alone would be rather much. But if you're into it, the law journals in campus are constantly looking for Research Assistants (and they pay quite awesome money as well!) :)

Thank you so much for your help! I have taken up the CFL course for 2014-15. Can you give me some inputs on the most preferred modules for the CFL course?
Also, can we select more than 10 modules for the LL.M course? The information given by NUS says that a total of at least 40 credits have to be completed. So, is a student allowed to complete more than 40 credits, which would mean selecting more than 10 modules (as most modules carry 4 credits).

Thank you @winaindiarto!
Yes, ICL isn't a favourite in our batch either, but it feels like the right choice for me. :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, we received information about the fellowship at ICJ and World Bank in our offer letter. Is there a way to contact your classmate regarding this? I'm sending you my email id in a PM.
Let me know.

NUS Hostel application results still pending...Anyone here planning to take up apt for rent?
Posted Jun 10, 2014 19:33
well, im open for ideas :) college green and nus accom may be tough... other hostels seem dirty/expensive...
Posted Jun 10, 2014 19:59
I didn't get College Green either, and I'm looking at rooms/apartments for rent too. :-/
This page on facebook is pretty useful to look for places to stay in - https://www.facebook.com/groups/findyourroominsg/
You're less likely to run into agents here who'll charge a crazy amount of fee.
Heads up, there's a nice ad for a 3 bedroom apartment by a Chloé Sengsavang. 4k per month rent.

Anyone lucky enough to get through the NUS hostels?
I wasn't :(

No luck here either... Waiting for the College green Second application Period..
Posted Jun 18, 2014 05:01
Guys, don't be in too much despair if you don't get through to NUS hostels. Most people from my batch didn't get through the first time round, you just have to keep applying :) Myself, I didn't get into College Green until 2 weeks before moving out to Singapore (I think someone who got in the second wave didn't accept after all and I was put in the waiting list or something). UTown tends to not take in Law students because of the distance I think, and most of the exchange students get placed there -- and there are loads and loads of them..
If you're into getting rooms on your own, you can try easyroommate.com.sg, the people who advertise there are really responsive. If bad comes to worse and you don't get school housing at all, try getting a short-term lease and look for a new place in the first term. Propertyguru offers you a lot of choices but from what I've encountered last year the agents are not that responsive to enquiries from outside Singapore.
Hope everyone gets the housing situation sorted out real soon!

Hi miratp,
Modules to pick on for the first semester depends on your home jurisdiction. If your first degree is from a common law country, then you're free to pick from the vast list of courses offered. If you're from a civil law jurisdiction like me, you're "stuck" with only 3 classes which take up 20 credits already, one of which is Singaporean Company Law. I can't say if there is a certain favourite selection of classes, you can basically just pick whatever you like.
As for taking more than 40 credits.. I wouldn't suggest doing so. First of all, you have to write to the Vice Dean on how you "deserve" to read more than 10 classes for approval, and from what I went through, 20 credits each (which is about 5 classes each semester, provided you don't take any classes worth 8 credits) will be quite a lot for you to take in. I don't mean to scare you guys at this point, but 5 classes each semester will consume a massive amount of your time with the workload.
Hope this helps everyone concerned about this :)

Hi Guys.
Congratulations to all those who got in.
Iam a prospective student for batch 2015.
I have an agreegate of 57% from Campus Law Centre ,Delhi University with internships at reputed law firms in India and advocates. I have done social work and also have good recommendation letters.
If any of you could help me with letting me know the chances of making it to NUS next year and also if you guys have any idea about any other decent colleges in Singapore.
Thankyou
