Raffles Junior College
RJC is the Premier JC in Singapore. In most years, it is top in rankings. Students come from a variety of backgrounds and schools, and although many students are from RI and RGS (In the year 2001, 553 from RI and 421 from RGS of 1672 students), there is great diversity.

RJC is located in Ghim Moh, though at some indeterminate point in the future, it is supposed to move to beside where RI is now. With the endless delays, however, this will probably happen when pigs fly. RJ is located near ACJC, so you often see people from there at Ghim Moh and at Buona Vista MRT station.

RJC is good in all subject areas, unlike NJC which has chosen to specialise in Maths, and ACJC which specialises in, erm, well. Go read the ACJC review when it comes up. There is room in RJ for both slackers and muggers, so everyone can be happy.

Every other person appears so brilliant but you shouldn't be intimidated because a lot of them are faking it. On the other hand, some people like to pretend that they aren't studying at all when they are actually true-blue muggers - great actors. There are plenty of scholars in RJC, but it is not as replete with them as HCJC (Hualalalala JC) is with PRCs.

The faculty concept/so-called fac spirit isn't worth pittance. Especially now that with the emphasis on 'life sciences', the 'Medicine' (Biology) faculty has swollen to gargantuan proportions.

Be prepared to see the same bunch of RI/RGS prefects playing for the high-profile spots - the President and Vice-President of the 20th Students' Council were, respectively, the Head Boy and Vice-Head Boy of RI.
