smu vs nus vs ntu

hmmm uni acceptance is really becoming a pain in a neck. at first u apply hoping to get what u want. then u wait... and wait... then when u get it, u either get a surprise or for my case its the "oh... i got xxxx course" or pure disappointment ( for some ppl luckily not myself). then after the stage of euphoria or emotion rollercoaster (whatever u might call it...), u have to face the reality of which one is best for u and ur future. one click of the button is all it takes. 

dilemma in front of me

NUS (FASS):
pros- good reputation
cons- lack of direct honors and also a need to bid for the course u wanna take. ie. ur course is not yet confirmed.

NTU (economics):
pros- direct honors program. meaning straight away in depth study. not wasting time.
cons- not as established globally as compared to nus

SMU (accountancy)
pros: quite good in singapore. i dun mind doing accountancy for a career. 
cons: too young to be established in the world. and i hate the idea of forcing ppl to talk to get the other half of ur exam grades.


at the end of it, this whole thing gives me a major headache. too much choice can sometimes be a bad thing lol. frankly speaking i wld have just simply choose nus if not for the bidding system. 3 yrs away from books will kill u.
