As a graduate student, I stayed at Maple Residences, a private hostel on campus. While the rooms are modern and include amenities like ensuite bathrooms and communal pantries, the rent is exorbitant—S$950 for a shared room and up to S$1,350 for single rooms. This pricing feels steep compared to other housing options in Singapore. However, the convenience of living on campus and being close to lecture halls cannot be overstated. The university also provides excellent academic resources, including well-equipped libraries and research labs. Despite the high accommodation costs, NTU’s vibrant campus life and access to cutting-edge facilities make it a worthwhile experience for those who can afford it
