SIT's main campus is in Dover, with a new campus in Punggol opened in 2024. Both sites are well connected by MRT, making commuting straightforward.
Singapore is compact, safe, and English-speaking. Student costs are high compared to other Asian cities, but part-time work and CPF contributions from IWSP placements offset living expenses.
