SINGAPORE (WBFO) - UB and many other universities are feeling right at home pretty far away from home these days. Singapore is one hot spot. The tiny country sits at the bottom of Malaysia in south East Asia - it's a full 24 flight hours away from Buffalo. But it's more than the distance that lets you know that you're on the other side of the world.

WBFO's Joyce Kryszak recently traveled to Singapore to report on the globalization of higher education in places such as Asia. Today, she presents the first in our series of in-depth reports that examine where universities are setting up shop and why.
