This article examines the education trajectories of Indonesian students attending university in Singapore. These students and their parents consider a project of educational migration to Singapore as a proven pathway toward their varied aspirations. In Singapore, as Indonesian students experience academic challenges, they recognize national hierarchies that put them at a disadvantage. Though they reported enacting strategies to minimize the influence, the competitive environment still pushed them to evaluate their self-worth relative to other Indonesians.
