Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Because off campus we were free to organize our days without any sort of constraints and to manage our social lives in the most indipendent way. Furthermore.. so nice to share a flat, cook, have parties in your own place together with friends from all over the world..

We were living at the 15th floor of a sky scraper 20 min far from the campus but we were pretty close to the City so that we didn't miss the facilities of the Campus.

Personal comments

I would highly recommend the residential colleges (CAPT, USP, Tembusu, etc.) because mostly locals stay in them so it's a great way to meet & interact with locals. They are also relatively new facilities in a really nice part of campus. There is a meal plan and the food is ok.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I chose the apartment over the residence becuase residences have curfew. The only perk is that there are many students living near you.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment Sharing

Why?

If I would go again to Singapore, I would not be a student at the National University of Singapore and therefore I would not be eligible for the students' residence I stayed at last year.
