"Do you know where you want to go to college?"
Final year students in St. Catherine were all talking about their college choices. After the odd semester had passed, they must start preparing their applications to enter university and get ready for all the tests.
Emma, who was the top in her class and got the scholarship facility from the government, could apply to any university she wanted. The government will pay for her to study in America or Europe as long as her applications were approved by the school of her choice.
"Don't you want to go to MIT or Harvard... or Oxford?" Nadya asked in amazement when Emma mentioned that she would study engineering at NTU. "Why go to a local university?"
Actually, Emma's consideration was Haoran. The young man was her closest friend, and she did not want to move to a foreign country to start a new life without him.
