National University of Singapore, Singapore

Singapore packs a surprisingly massive number of attractions: verdant parks, world‐class zoos, luxurious hotels, historical structures, and deliciously cheap eats, all in a land area not much bigger than El Paso, Texas.

Considering the towering, iconic skylines of Marina Bay and the Civic District, it's hard to imagine Singapore actually living up to its "garden city" aspirations. Leave the built‐up areas behind, though, and you'll find a network of parks that spans the island, adding to a green cover that makes up about 46 percent of the country. For such a small island, Singapore is also a chock‐a‐block with a variety of Asian cultures, all living side‐by‐side, each with an ethnic enclave and a Singapore festival of its own. Students will get a truly unique insight into a multi‐faith culture where people eat, worship, and live to the fullest extent of their heritage.
