Visit to Bukit Timah Campus

I recently visited the NUS Bukit Timah Campus. I was there for a whole day meeting. As I walked around in between breaks, I saw the beautiful internal courtyard. This one in the photo is what they call the Upper Quadrangle. It was a picture like it was somewhere else other than in Singapore. Big open space, surrounded by oldish buildings, with absolutely nothing else visible on the skyline. There aren’t many tall buildings in that area, so that isn’t anything else to see in the distant from where I stood.

The view from where I stood was very unlike that of what you’d expect to see in Singapore. As it was also NUS vacation time, there was hardly anyone else around on the campus. At 10am in the morning, everything was practically still. It must be quite nice to be working there. It’s near town, MRT is not too far away, so it is quite conveniently located.
