Meet Vivien Wee ! She is a year 1 student in Nanyang Polytechnic, studying Mass Media Management. She got into NYP through the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) before she finished her O levels! If you are considering applying for EAE, why not hear from Vivien herself? 1. Tell us more about yourself and why did you choose to join NYP through EAE? I was a Normal Academic student from Beatty Secondary School and I completed my O levels in 2016. I was in the National Cadet Corp (Air) in secondary school. Since young, my friends and family have been telling me about NYP. My closest cousin, uncle, and my secondary school seniors and friends were from NYP. Personally, I feel that NYP is like a family. NYPians are accepting of people and will not judge others based on looks, disability, studies and family background. NYP has this family warmth and I feel loved by my peers in NYP. Additionally, NYP is conveniently located near Yio Chu Kang MRT station, which is 5 stations away from my home. So i...

 Dear 16-years old Kris It is hard at the moment, isn�t it? Having to deal with all the pressure that you are facing now because of �O� levels, and also having to choose a future path that will be most beneficial for you. Of course I understand, that was what I went through. And, trust me, when I tell you that you will survive through them, just like me.  I am still here, writing this letter to you, two years from your future.

However, you will learn to enjoy the experience in NYP while making  many new and trustworthy friends. NYP will be your home for the next 3 years and, fret not, it is not what you think. Yes, unf...

9 Jan 2014 Like many other school-leavers, Ru Yee and I thought that it would be fun to check out the Open House at all the polytechnics.  We were racing against time as we only had a day to view them all. With some quick last-minute planning, we settled on the routes. No doubt we had to move quickly. There were places to go and things to see! Common sense dictates that when in doubt, always follow the crowd. And that was how we got to the atrium of NYP. From Yio Chu Kang MRT, it took us barely five minutes to get there. Thank goodness! We wasted no time viewing each booth before promptly heading to the other polytechnics. But, with our poor sense of direction, we got lost again after taking multiple buses to nowhere� Needless to say, I love the convenience of going to NYP from the MRT station. 9 April 2014 So, my first day of Freshman Orientation (FMO) is finally over! I admit, I wasn�t sure if I would get along with others, especially my future classmates. After all, it felt like...
