It’s just like a cultural mixing pot of food. The food there is just wonderful.” - Carson Johnson, Freshman, Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering “UNLV Singapore is a unique college experience. It kind of feels more like family. My most memorable moment is travelling around Southeast Asia.” - Donovan Giudici, Freshman, Lee Business School
