Other Accomodation
Accommodation is an important consideration while you are living away from home.
You should arrange for off-campus accommodation before you leave your home country if you have not secured the on-campus accommodation for the duration of your course.
We have some resources to facilitate your arrangement for alternative accommodation. Do note that any agreement signed between you and the Private Hostel/Service Provider is deemed to be a private arrangement between the two parties. NUS is unable to mediate in the event of a dispute. You are advised to practice due care and diligence prior to any contractual commitments. In the event of a dispute, you may consult CASE Singapore at https://www.case.org.sg/ or you may contact them at: CASE Consumer Hotline: 6100 0315 (Hotline Operating Hours: Mon - Fri: 9am to 5pm).
If you are an NUS student and need short-term stay between December to January and/or May to July, you may contact the Hostel Management Office to check on the availability.

Private Accommodations
A number of private companies or home owners provide accommodation to students. The lease term and facilities provided varies from one provider to another.
Short-term private hostels offer an affordable alternative to staying in a luxury hotel. A stay of one month or more costs about half the price of an average hotel in the same area.
Agents/Others
A number of estate agencies and portal companies also provide services to find accommodation. They normally charge a fee for their services. Do understand what are their charges and their services that they provide before engaging their services.
NUS Guest Rooms / Group Booking
NUS provides guest accommodation for visiting academics, consultants, external examiners on official business at the invitation of NUS Deans, Directors or Heads of Departments as well as short-term University visitors.
