Checklist for International Travel - Done by a group NTU students, who wrote - re-wrote and finally have this

up here!
Clothes
Three to Five pairs of jeans/Cargoes/Capris/pants
Five t-shirts
Three formal shirts ( for guys).
One or two formal skirts or pants ( for girls)
Ten sets of inner wear
Four sets of casual wear - for sports, night wear. Carry tracks, pyjamas etc. If you live on campus, you will practically live on these.
Hand kerchiefs
A light weight travel jacket (optional, need not be too thick nor heavy, it is not for cold climate)

Girls - Salwars are fine to wear to college. Kurtas, Jeans, Leggings are mostly preferred. It is really hot here, so carry cottons. A saree can be
bought, if you have space. Nice to have. Purely optional.
Guys - Most of them lived on jeans, and t-shirts. Cargoes are great too. Formals only for interviews, in the end of course. If you plan to go to India
in between - you can skip it.
The weather at Singapore never comes down below 20 degree celcius, so u do not need any warm clothing at all. Drop all that thermal wear and
shawls:-) . Lecture theatres are really cold here. So get a light weight jacket and a shawl ( for girls)
Footwear
One shoe pair (sport shoes recommended)
One formal buckle shoe, or slip on laced shoe (the ones that can be worn without socks). There is a lot of walking here. So invest in a branded
floaters.
One casual slipper for inside home wear
Four pairs of socks (ankle socks are recommended)
