“I learnt that cultural differences aren’t something to be intimidated by. Even if we grew up in completely different environments, there are still so many ways to connect... My biggest takeaway was to approach people with openness, kindness and genuine curiosity. Our differences can give us more to talk about.”
 
🌍✨ Sometimes, the biggest adventures begin with a step outside your comfort zone.
 
For NUS Arts and Social Sciences and NUS College undergraduate Long Wen Xi, five months at University College Utrecht in the Netherlands became more than a student exchange — it was a journey of new friendships, fresh perspectives, newfound independence and discovering a second home. 💛
 
From cycling through Dutch streets to forging friendships across cultures, Wen Xi discovered that the world feels smaller when we open our hearts to new experiences and connections. 🌷🚲

A caring campus starts with each of us, and nothing is more heartening than seeing our students and colleagues looking out for one another at NUS. 🙌🧡💙
 
A special shoutout to our Peer Student Supporters for leading by example! Thank you for being there for your fellow students, lending a listening ear and helping to make NUS a community where everyone feels cared for.
 
We’re halfway through our month-long #WellNUS Festival, with many wonderful initiatives — from conversations on supporting friends and a wellbeing resource fair, NUSOne’s musical box workshop, Pioneer House’s Dog Therapy session, BIZ Wellness Day and many more. Each is a lovely reminder that small acts of care can make a big difference.
 
There’s still plenty more for this year’s festival! I encourage all students to explore the activities at nus.edu/wellnus.
 
Together as #OneNUS, let’s keep looking out for one another and turn care into action!”
