20 Stanford University                                           3751       15703          23.9%

In fact, taking the average of the 156 US universities listed here, the average FT enrollment for these US univ is only 10.2%.

Those uni with 20%+ enrollment are usually the private ones cause they need FT’s money. In fact none of the State unis come close to 20%.

For us, we are doing the reverse. With 20% enrollment, we are in fact subsidizing our FTs!

Why ARE WE SETTING OURS AT 20%? 20% is too high. It should be 10% going by US figures

- I think we should start calling ourselves International Country instead of Singapore :3
