About NUSC Club Room
The NUSC Club room is a place for NUSCC / club members to either hold meetings or bond with each other.
A good collection awaits
A popular study spot among NUS College students, the Reading Room is manned by student librarians who guide students to find resources, such as reference books, fiction, magazines, and videos for loan. It also houses Brainfood, a collection of readings and books recommended by NUS College faculty, students, alumni, and administrative staff.
Where ideas come to life
We encourage small group discussions during classes to facilitate deeper, student-driven learning.
Knock knock!
Located just a stone’s throw away from the residential blocks, our NUS College faculty offices are easily accessible for students to drop by for consultations during the day. Meet the people at NUS College! →
Unleashing creativity
From basic tools to 3D printers, the Makers’ Studio is a place for students to let their creativity flow. Sometimes, workshops are also held by students to share more about crafts such as rubber stamp making, watercolour painting and even 3D modelling and printing.
Cozy chilling
The Theme Room Red has a drum kit, keyboard, guitars, bean bags, and even a foosball table – no wonder NUS College students love to relax with their friends here! Music interest groups and houses also hold sessions and get-togethers here to bond through music and fun.
Gamers rejoice!
Theme Room Blue houses many video game consoles such as Nintendo Switches, an XBOX One, and a PS4 - making it a very popular destination for students to unwind after a day of classes.
Optimised for discussions
Our tutorial rooms are arranged to allow for discussions during classes.
No need for lobby music playlists
Beyond the usual chatter, the lobby is often filled with melodious tunes as talented students work their magic on the guitar and piano.
Thou shall pass
Be it students waiting for each other to go for classes together, or for late friends who overslept for breakfast, and even the heart-to-heart conversations that happen past midnight, the lobby is one of the common spaces that bring us all together. Twice a week, it even transforms into a student run café, CinnaCaff, which sells hand brewed coffee and tea.
Know the houses
The house system of NUS College is also showcased on the walls at the side.
About Chatterbox
Chatterbox is a 24-hour study lounge area for NUS College students, who often gather here to study, discuss their group projects, hold meetings, or even play the board games available for loan. This space can also be an event space where we hold small group conversations with guest speakers. 
Our very own convenience store
Cinnamart is a trust-based, student-run provision shop located in Chatterbox, where residents can head down to buy snacks or living necessities at any time of the day, such as satisfying their late-night cravings or getting their daily coffee, and make payment through the QR codes. Profits generated from operations go back to the community, including donations to the student assistance fund.
Meals and memories
The place where students get food for the stomachs and for the soul – through conversations over dinner with fellow peers, and even faculty members! It is a homely place for residents to catch up with friends while enjoying a hearty meal. Our Start-of-Semester and End-of-Semester dinners are also hosted here, some of the significant events of student life in NUS College!
Om nom nom...
Warmth is felt here – not just from the food, but from the smiles of the residents and the friendly dining hall servers!
What a spread!
The Help Yourself counter also has toast and spreads for breakfast, and appetisers including healthy salads and hot soup for dinner time. Not forgetting the ‘meal enhancements’ in the later half of the semester, which help to boost spirits among students - favourites include ice-cream and Yakult!
Special arrangements
Each floor has a Residential Assistant who can provide residents with various forms of support. We also have dedicated freshmen floors for freshmen who matriculated to stay together and get to know their peers from different faculties.
A cosy space for gatherings
There are 21 floors in Cinnamon College and there is a floor lounge on every floor. It is a common space for residents to gather for meetings, study, or even have floor gatherings at the space.
A mini kitchen
The pantry allows residents to do some simple cooking and washing of dishes. Students also tend to store their meal enhancements (ice-cream, yogurt etc.) in the common fridge here – just remember to label and consume them!
Rooms in Cinnamon College
There are 2 types of rooms in Cinnamon College - Suite and Corridor Rooms. A suite comprises 6 rooms, a toilet and a living room area.
Home away from home
This is the layout of an air-conditioned corridor room, which some students will call their home for their formative years in NUS College.
Door chalking
There is a door-chalking tradition, where housemates and floormates go around to draw on the wooden doors with chalk (just remember to clean them before moving out!).
Laundry made easy
The laundry rooms are conveniently located within the building, making it easy for students to do laundry. Both washing machines and dryers are available, and students can opt to pay by cash or cashless means.
Where all the buzz happens
Named after philanthropist Chua Thian Poh, the NUS College multi-purpose hall is often bustling with activities - be it sports interest groups training for competitions, theatre production and dance rehearsals, and even large-group seminars and get-togethers.
An easy access point
Our drop-off point is conveniently located. Students can sometimes be spotted collecting their supper deliveries here with their friends after a long day at school. It is also the usual starting point for residents who take a jog around the University Town campus!
