The Halls of Residence are vibrant communities dedicated to experiential learning.


NUS offers a variety of accommodation options to suit the needs and aspirations of full-time NUS students.

Residential living is an essential part of a holistic university education. It offers a life-time opportunity for students to live amongst peers from different countries, social and cultural backgrounds, and academic disciplines. It provides ample opportunities for one to step out, engage, and open one’s mind to others. It also enables students to hone their leadership skills, people skills, and forge lasting friendships with one another.

NUS offers four different types of residential options for full-time NUS students to choose from:

  1. Halls of Residences — Vibrant communities dedicated to experiential learning.
  2. Houses — Safe spaces for co-creation, peer mentorship and a strong focus on well-being.
  3. Residential Colleges — Multi-disciplinary academic curriculum offered in a living-learning environment.
