Singapore English is different than your everyday English, but you learn to get used to it. I had smaller problems understanding them from the start, but it got better as the months flew by.

Personal comments
The accommodation at the university was ok, but the rooms were too small. As I said before, I got to know a lot of people because the accomodation was so intimate, which I see as a good thing, if not a social thing.
