that's very useful for incoming exchange and international students. do u wanna share other useful abbrev outside school contexts like SBS, MOE, ICA, PS, GV, LKY (hehe... they should know at least LKY right?)
by the way, you link is not working.
Hey ... I thot about it ... by right I could even include SISS, SMUX, SMUIcon, RCHN, JCC, ICC, Emix, SMU Be, SMUKI etc ... but I guess learning it on your own is more fun ... secondly as I mentioned in the post, Icon members are welcome to add to the list!
We could later even add a line of description, coz some of the terms aren't quite self explinatory.
We could also do the same for the major skool events like Patron's day etc, so the students know what to expect.
BTW, link fixed. =)
