There are various NUS wide clubs. There is an Indian Society which organises major Indian events like Holi, Diwali, Uttarayan, etc. There are multiple libraries that you have access to in various parts of the campus. There are in campus buses for you to travel from one faculty to another. Some clubs I found interesting are Uni-Y which is a volunteering organisation, a coffee interest group in pioneer house, board games interest group, etc

There are different types of accommodations - Halls, Residences, and colleges. The application for colleges begins very soon and is super competitive. For halls, you must participate in activities to gain points in order to maintain your stay. Points can be gained by participating in CCAs, clubs, societies, sports, etc. On the other hand, Residences are relatively quieter. There are no criteria but depends just on vacancy. I stayed at Pioneer House which is a new concept recently established. It is close to the MRT station which makes it easier to commute anywhere else in Singapore. There is a canteen in the vicinity and thus, no meal plan is provided.

Mine was a private university so there was not much facilities. There was just the bare minimum but they did have gym and all but it was in the hostel. Otherwise my immediate school had classrooms, projectors and all that. We performed all research using our own facilities online like our own computer and stuff. I joined scrabble competitions and chess competitions. I liked joining the computer club so I usually joined tech clubs but it was not part of the school.

I am in a university accommodation.

Rental on campus would be more expensive. Most overseas student would share rental apartment in nearby residential towns (e.g. Clementi).

NUS is a top ranked University, and the scholarship is generous and tax-free.

It was university subsidized

Based on lab profile, publications, University Ranking. Location

The University has limited accommodation for research students. But there are various apartments available for rent for around Rs 1 lakh for 2BHK.

It is one of the top-ranked universities. The cost of studying and living in Singapore is low compared to western countries.

There are halls, residential colleges and student residences. Choice of sharing or private room. Around 200 sgd per week. Common kitchen and bathroom.

Good academic reputation, affordable, safe and developed city

I don't stay on campus, but you could check the university housings website.

There were a few reasons I aspired to study at NUS. First, I wanted to pursue Computer Science, so I considered factors like programme quality, university rankings and expert opinion. Second, for my undergraduate studies, I preferred not too move too far away from Singapore. So, NUS was my #1 choice. Honestly, NUS is a very prestigious institution and the fact that CS is a competitive major there motivated me to take on the challenge. I felt that graduating from here would make me well-moulded to take on real-world challenges.

I do not stay on campus as the campus life is not as lively as pre-covid according to my friends. Therefore, I do not know much about campus life. The clubs are quite fun to join as they are active and fun. However, it is really hard to gauge due to Covid season where most of the activities are done through zoom.
