Living in Singapore is relatively expensive, with high costs for tuition, housing, and daily expenses. Tuition fees at NUS are substantial, often ranging from SGD 8,000 to SGD 10,000 per year for undergraduate programs. On-campus housing, while convenient, can also be pricey, with rates between SGD 250 and SGD 800 per month, depending on the type of accommodation. Daily expenses, including food and transportation, add to the financial burden, with an estimated monthly budget of SGD 600 to SGD 1,000 for a student’s basic needs. Despite these costs, many students manage through scholarships, financial aid, and part-time work opportunities.
