The Magellanic Clouds are ideal nearby galaxies where we are able to have a comprehensive and uniform sample of star formatting regions. Pr evious studies with NANTEN revealed that the molecular clouds are clas sified into three types\, Type I no O star formation\, Type II limited O star formation and Type III most active cluster formation\, and tha t the total lifetime of a giant molecular clouds are ~30Myrs. Recent s ub-mm data allow us to reveal dense clumps within these molecular clou ds and tell us how gas condense to form clusters. The Spitzer SAGE pro gram offers a sample of less luminous young stars associated with the molecular clouds. We also learn how lower density HI gas is accumulati ng onto the molecular clouds by making a 3-dim comparison between CO a nd HI. I will use these results to make a comprehensive view of star f ormation in a galaxy.
