Accommodation on NTU Campus

PGDE, Diploma and BA/BSc student teachers are eligible to apply for accommodation in the Halls of Residence in NTU.

The current rental fees for accommodation in the various Halls in NTU are as follows:

                Double-occupancy  : S$155 - S$190 per month

                Single-occupancy    : S$195 - S$250 per month

On top of the above stated rental rates, students staying in Hall 3 and Hall 16, will pay for the utility consumption for room air-conditioning separately as all rooms in these 2 Halls are air-conditioned. The air-conditioning charge is computed on per-room-per-month basis according to meter reading. For double room, this air-conditioning charge will be divided out equally between 2 rightful occupants.

A non-refundable application fee of S$15.75 (inclusive of GST = S$0.75) will have to be paid at the time of application.

New student teachers will be invited to apply for hall when they receive their letter of offer of admission. Closing date for hall application is 31 Jan 07. They have no choice of hall and room (except they can opt out for Hall 3 and Hall 16 due to the higher rental rate) and are eligible for double-occupancy rooms only.

Many of the rooms have already been allocated to the July 2006 intake of NTU students and NIE student teachers.  As such, there are limited places left.

In the event that you are not offered accommodation due to shortage of places, we will still notify you and put you on a waiting list until vacancies arise.  The outcome of your application will be sent to you within 7 working days from date of submission.  You will be informed by 31 Dec 06 if you submit your form by 15 Dec 06. If you have not received any letter by 15 Jan 07, you are advised to contact 6790-5155.

Application for accommodation in the Halls of Residence will be open to current student teachers in late March every year. All other student teachers except Jan 2007 intake student teachers will have to compete for rooms with other NTU students on new Hall Admission Scheme. Details of this new scheme will be announced in due course.
