Hey Bandar, it depends on where u're staying. My friend got her place (1 bedroom) for around 150USD? But that was quite out of town.

Renting an apartment in Singapore in the middle of town can be quite expensive. A decently-priced room could go from 400-700USD and I'm not even talking about the whole apartment... just a single room.

Still quite a bit cheaper than NYC I suppose. Someone told me before that cost of living in Singapore is roughly 75%-80% cost of living in NYC.

Anyway, I don't check this forum as often as I should, so if you've got any pressing questions, just drop me a mail at caperkirs@gmail.com.

No i havent been to singapore but if I get accepted I am thinking about going to check it out first before I make a decision.

Did you apply to AFI's directing as well? Interviewed?

Anybody hear anything from Tisch Asia?

Bandar -

all quiet so far... would be a dream come true to get a call but I think after all these months of worry and self-doubt I am finally at peace with the things that I cannot control. I am just excited to know where to begin this next chapter... good luck everyone

I know what you mean blueskeyes...

It'll be any day now (they already made their decisions)... I'll be looking for a 212 number!

haha exactly... my moments of peace become heart wrenching adrenaline every time my phone rings.

So it sounds like some of us will find out if we were accepted beginning on Monday (April 7th).

Fantastic, now my heart has started racing a week earlier then I'd planned!

Thank god I'm still in undergrad. I think I'm 2 weeks ahead of my homework just because I keep having to work to get my mind off things.

lol R. Nelson, you've got the right idea.

That, or a 15+ digit random Singaporean number. I am wondering if they'll call from NY or Singapore...and then I am wondering if it's the former, is it going to be at some random time. In any case, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us.

Anybody hear anything?

I think that they are still deliberating. I've reached the point where I sort of enjoy the suspense of waiting - it adds a much more exciting dynamic to my rather dull days of finishing up my 5th year in college.

Just out of curiosity, any thoughts on the Totalitarian government of Singapore?

Oh, and for those who don't know; there is a showcase of films from Tisch Asia on the NYU Tisch Asia website.

It is Thursday. No response on my part as of yet. Any word from Tisch for you guys?

Hello everyone

Don't start worrying if you haven't heard anything yet. I am sure that NYU is still in the process of deliberation or waiting until next week!

thank you. You are absolutely right, worrying doesn't get you anywhere.

I guess that I was wrong about next week...

I was just accepted!!!


I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you!!

Here's hoping we'll be classmates!!

Congrats Dream! And congrats to someone else I know who will be posting here soon

How did you find out?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delayed post, but I received word about two hours ago that I was accepted!

Good luck to everyone else!
