There is a table showing Cost of tertiary studies at a glance (source: Alpha Financial Advisers)

Singapore: 4 yrs, with Honours at $71K (including living expenses and for non-medical degree courses)

A degree course currently at NUS:

$71K for 4 yrs:

• about $32K-34K is payable to tuition fee and other fees
• left with $37K for living expenses - about $708 per month (This figure is close to my own estimation of living expenses)
• 
  

At SMU, it will cost more

• about $40K is payable to tuition fee and other fees
• living expenses at SMU will be much higher than $708 per month and they need to dress up nicely.

10 years' time: $100K
15 years' time: $120K
20 years' time: $142K
