Today the distance between the Southern tip of Australia and the Northern-most parts of Norway is no longer unbridgeable. The Internet has revolutionized the way the world communicates, does business, and even coordinates classes albeit in different parts of the world but all at the same time! Distance education by means of online learning is the latest tool by which both children and adults in the remotest village in Africa or Asia can hope to receive education.

For the side providing education, distance or online learning is not only cheap and convenient but also prevents wasting time on transport and other resources. And for the side of the receiving end, it is nothing short of a blessing. Education should be a universal birthright for those seeking it and those who deserve it. Online or distance learning systems have lent further impetus to that. The study materials in distance or online learning courses are usually fresh and the latest. Thankfully, one can say goodbye to centuries of old thoughts rusting in tattered books in libraries which are mostly inaccessible.

Additionally, online learning helps one get the latest resources and references on any subject. And of course there is no limit to browsing as the Internet is filled with infinite number of resources on any particular subject. Online distance learning also lets one take courses at ones own pace. Gone are the days when one had to sink into the back-benches feeling left out from whats being taught in class. Study at will, study at leisure its all made possible by online distance education.

Virtual classrooms help students interact directly with their teachers and other fellow students without having to move an inch from their sofas! So one can live in Sydney but study at Berlin all with the help of online distance learning courses! Although this system of education is absolutely useful, still one disadvantage of this system might be that it depends heavily on connectivity. Students in places with very low bandwidth can find it extremely annoying to wait while their page takes forever to load. But thanks to latest Internet technology these problems are on the verge of being ironed out.

Now with real-time technologies, students and teachers can send and receive immediate feedback on courses and exams. The 3G spectrum in Internet telephony has made live video chats possible in many countries. The rest of the world, too, will be able to avail of the advantage of live video interaction during online distance learning classrooms in another two to three years.

Other than being a tourist hot spot, Singapore seems to be the new popular choice for education, probably because of English being the first language taught and spoken there.

As a student, while exploring my options on finding the right combination, that of subjects was a priority, Singapore universities were ensuring flexibility with choices as well were offering a wide range of extra curriculas.Many of these colleges which form a part of Singapore universities participate in global education fairs. This ensures that one can handpick their choice of college and course without ever going to the country.

Not too far from my native country Singapore studies seemed the most lucrative. Study abroad in Singapore offers not only a range of quality educational opportunities, but also plenty of job options.Singapore is a country of lights, color, festivals and on a whole of a lot of friendly happy people. Its a thriving centre for commerce and industry in a very short span.It also offers easy student visas, with little paperwork, and absolutely no hassles. Guidance is available at every level, in the form of friendly associates of the Singapore universities.

Study abroad in Singapore is also a great place for people interested in pursuing finance as Singapore is one of the most important financial centers of Asia.Ecological science is another popular subject which the Singapore universities specialize in; they have the best faculty in this field.

My experience as a student in Singapore has been quite enriching, not only could I club various subjects of my preference, but also be a part of a great cultural community. The part I like most was the quality of education, and the after class tuition. The professors were patient and more hands down. Singapore universities are uniquely impressive. I have had the opportunity to meet many guest faculties called in for seminars from all over the world, some famous prominent social personalities too have conducted few sessions, giving students an all rounded information on their particular course. Our faculty members are patient and know how to give one on one attention; they personally attend to any academic and also tend to the psychological and emotional distress if any.

The campus is generally small but very picturesque as its surrounded by the peninsula. There are plenty of recreational activities organized in and around the universities, especially to make the foreign students more acquainted with the surroundings; special tours are organized for them around the main spots of the city.

Students are generally given on campus accommodation and also have the liberty to find fellow partners to share independent accommodations close to the campus. Other than the faculty, the universities attract people from various different countries, belonging to many caste, color and cultures, creating an amazing platform for learning and imbibing variety of cultures and traditions. There are many team and student ability, building activities organized every fortnight.

Emphasis is on detail, and the trend is upwardly.Singapores strategic location, excellent facilities such as ports, industries, etc, its fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for business, pleasure and education.
