Singapore

Singapore packs one of the world's best education systems into one of its smallest countries. English is the language of instruction at every university — including NUS and NTU, both ranked in the world's top 15 — and the city-state is famous for safety, efficiency, and an unrivalled mix of cultures. Add hawker food, weekend flights to the rest of Southeast Asia, and a job market you can graduate straight into, and it's easy to see why students choose Singapore.
