Merch wars: We asked, you voted

POLL 1: WISHLIST
Which type of souvenir would you most like to own?
Eat your heart out, Labubu! There’s a new cuddly obsession in town. These Lyon plush toys are ready to be attached to bags around campus.
I chose the plushies because they can accompany me to all my classes and travel with me wherever I go. More than just bag charms, they showcase NTU to the world and draw attention with their cuteness.

POLL 2: T-SHIRTS
Which NTU tee would you add to your wardrobe?
It was neck and neck between three tees. In the end, classic black pipped navy and white to the finishing line (and to your closets soon?). Solid choice!
POLL 3: TUMBLERS AND MUGS
Which one would you buy and take to class?
It really captures NTU’s distinctive identity and brings out what makes NTU special – its creativity, personality and sense of community.
