WHU vs NUS

So far, I have studied in two universities, my home university, Wuhan University (WHU) and National University of Singapore (NUS), they are strikingly different in many ways. Firstly, the physical size of each university is obviously different. WHU occupies a large area of 336 square meters, with four campuses, whereas NUS is about half of the size, having an area of about 150 square meters, with its three principal campuses. Another difference is in the size of population of each. WHU has more than 38,000 students studying in it and most are living in campus, but NUS has a population of around 26,000. In terms of the international degree of education, they are also quite different. In WHU, among all the students, only less than 1,000 are international student. And lecturers and professors are mainly from China. By contrast, in NUS, more than 20% students are from hundreds of foreign countries, and the lecturers and professors are from all over the world. In addition, these two also differ in natural environment. WHU locates in the middle of China, extremely hot in summer and very cold in winter. While NUS is in the tropical part, weather here changes slightly but receives much rainfall, neither too hot nor too cold. As a result of the different weather, in WHU, it is green in spring and summer with trees surrounding, golden in autumn with falling leaves and white in winter with snow flying, while in NUS, it is green warm all the year round.
