Singapore's six universities each have their own views about how best to stir the student conscience. Some, like SMU, mandate community service to ensure every student gets involved. On the other hand, Singapore's other three national universities – NUS, NTU and SUTD – believe that students will resent compulsion or do community service just to get the credits, without real passion for it. However, SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer cited figures to the contrary: Although students must do at least 80 hours of community service or roughly two weeks in their four years of education, on average, they give 120 hours – and some, 400 hours – suggesting that a desire to do more emerges voluntarily. SMU student Nelson Goh said that he and his peers initially resented the 80-hour requirement. But now the fourth-year business undergraduate thinks compulsion is not a bad thing: "Most people in my generation don't put ourselves out there. If not for it, I would not have gone out of my comfort zone. Prof De Meyer said that SMU is looking into recognising students for the leadership they show not only in clubs but also in big community service projects by giving them credits that count towards their degree. But they would need to write a report and reflect on what they have learnt.
