are there plans to have a network school in the american timezone as well?

i think the biggest reason it is on an "island near singapore" is the fact that malaysia is pretty easy on letting anyone in with almost no visa, and forest city in johor is quite abandoned. see:

yes the easy to get a visa is a big part but might be doable in a location in the us timezone as well

agreed. one more thing - both KUL and SIN airports are hugely well connected to the rest of the world. its hard to say of many other places. and the malaysian ringgit is very favourable compared to the singaporean dollar.

if you could do it with US-based timezones (be it pacific or east coast), where would you do it? somewhere in south america? i really somehow think the visa situation is also a huge issue. one more thing re: network school, balaji himself primarily lives in singapore

Though out of curiosity why does timezone matter when everyone is in the same place, unless there are aims for a remote network school (at which point I also believe in the async nature of things)

yea i’m not sure where it would be, but def think there would be demand for something like the network school in the us timzone. mexico city?

I’m curious where the best location in the Americas would be, with an airport highly connected to the rest of the Americas and easy visas for (at least) the Americas. I wonder if there’s some demand for a “new world” network school for those who prefer presence in the Americas for whatever reason.
