All About NY05
Just a lil’ bit about the 8 of us on the programme. Yup, there’s only 8 of us ;)
8 NUS undergraduates
5 Majors
8 Startups
1 Year in New York City
Hello there you reading this!
We’re very privileged to have been chosen as the fifth batch to go on the NOC programme from January — December 2016. There’s only 8 of us, and we can’t describe how much we treasure this elusive opportunity to spend a year in the United States, not only being able to intern at super cool startups, but able to pursue our passion in entrepreneurship – honing our skills, interests and experience before we graduate and enter the real working world.
I forgot to mention — we take classes at New York University as well. Absolutely rad stuff we are doing here.
Oh, something unique about our batch… we all stay in the same apartment, to be exact, a duplex in Midwood, Brooklyn! 😎 #housemates How’s that turning out? (Stay tuned for future posts on this topic)
Without further ado, check out this really pretty photo of us taken by possibly-the-best NY Overseas Manager #love
