Raffles Institution is made up of elitist boys who had nothing better to do after getting 270 in PSLE and decided to come here.
A Rafflesian can be broadly categorize into 2 groups: the mugger and the lucky guy who put RI as his first choice as a joke.
You can identify a mugger Rafflesian if he:
1. Was in GEP in primary school
2. Is in math and/or science Raffles Academy
3. Is in a academic CCA
4. Gets gold for olympiads
5. Is a world debate champion or world memory champion

You may also identify a Rafflesian who got lucky and put RI as his first choice as a joke if he:
1. is a sports DSA and gave up half way
2. doesnt really care about grades
3. gets between 2.8 and 3.4 gpa
4. is a yp wannabe

5. and any student who isnt identified as a mugger

Features of RI:
1. RI boys are know for being unable to pick up girls from their sister school and often loses out to ASCI boys
2. Has shitty toilets in Raja block
3. Doesn't care about student wellbeing

Best School in Singapore, really very hard to get in. People who are in RI may seem as nerds but are actually well rounded and cool ppl. There’s air conditioning in every single classroom unlike most other schools. Also RI has many cool jackets and hoodies and even has a gorgeous black and gold polo. So if u have good psle score come ri

Synonym for bourgeois entrenchment. Raffles Institution is a premier, middle-class institution and stop on the elitist through train to success. Often seen as the paragon of meritocracy, the median household income here is $24,000 whereas the average household income is $45,000.
I love studying in Raffles Institution.

Raffles Institution (RI), founded in 1823, is the oldest and top-notched secondary school in Singapore for pre-tertiary education. It is an independent school, providing for Year 1 to 4 boys and a Junior College sector for Year 5 and 6 boys and girls from its sister school Raffles Girls School.
Raffles Institution and Hwa Chong Institution are regarded as the best schools in Singapore! However, I have to admit, Raffles Institution is actually a little bit better in terms of grades, average emotional intelligence and scholarship achievements.
