Raffles is a good choice
I have been studying at Raffles for two years. For the first 6 months, I was studying in my home country (Vietnam) due to COVID. The lecturers were very understanding of our difficulties studying online. They were very good at teaching and explaining when students had issues. After travelling to study at Raffles off-campus, I was amazed at how professional yet very joyful the lecturers were. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The college just moved into a new building; before this, it was a campus. I highly recommend studying at Raffles if you are a design student. They have jewellery design, game design, interior design, etc. There are management students too, but we study on different floors, so I do not know much about them. I am in my last year of college, so I need to do a lot of research and study.
