Singapore vs Fonty

Fonty

Singapore

People have been asking me why Singapore over starting at Fonty? Well I have my reasons, but they are basically summed up in this table I found on the INSEAD wiki. A lot of this applies to most US MBA schools too:

	Singapore	Fontainebleau
Where to live	Heritage or Dover: 4 pools each (including Jacuzzi and live fountains, with underwater music), BBQ pits, tennis courts, jogging paths, fantastic exotic gardens, saunas, 10 minute walk to INSEAD.	Rent a 300 year old house downtown fontainebleau with cable TV.
Nickname	'Club Med'	'Construction Yard'
Weather	25-30oC year round, mostly sunny	Over 25oC only in summer, when Insead is closed. Mostly cloudy and rainy.
VAT	5%	20%
To go downtown	20 min by bus or MRT, or 10 min taxi (2 S$ when split 3 ways).	50 min SNCF train, if direct and no strikes. Cab is 40+ EUR.
To go to the main airport	40 min MRT or 30 min taxi (5 S$ split 3 ways)	Don't try to go to Roissy using public transportation. Cab is 60+ EUR.
Diving	Malaysia, Bali and Thailand have plenty of paradisiacal island. During opening week 30+ Insead participants take the Open Water course.	In the Channel or in the Seine?
Surfing	Bali: sunshine and perfect waves.	Lacanau. Have you ever surfed in Lacanau in February?
Trekking	Borneo and Bali volcanoes have gorgeous views and fantastic vegetation.	Alps.
Wake-boarding	Plenty of places within Singapore.	Seine?
Sunbathing and beaches	Bali, Phuket, Koh Samui, Pulau Tioman and many more are withing reach for the week-ends.	Bretagne and 'la plage a Paris'. Oops, this last one is only during the summer.
Construction	Not even one class was disturbed by the construction of new facilities. Most of the work is done at night and on week-ends.	Have you ever tried having a French worker work only on week-ends?
Strikes	What is a strike?	SNCF, RATP, Controleurs aeriens, Air France, EDF, ...
Drinking	Tiger Beer and fresh mango, guava, passion fruit or dragonfruit juices for S$2.	Champagne for 30 EUR.
Own birthday	If it's a bbq night, you can just dive in the Heritage pool with your clothes on.	?
Electives	No need to bid for electives	Will you have enough points?

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, check out this Deck that previous INSEAD students have prepared outlining 100 reasons why an MBA in Singapore rocks. How can you not be convinced? Try doing these things in Boston, Chicago, or Fonty.

I'm definately convinced. And with a tax rate of only 15%, I might even consider living in Singapore after my MBA. Anybody want to offer me a job?
