Can non-students live in student accommodation?

All student housing is only meant to be temporary. Being a college student means accepting this reality. Non-students who move into student housing face the same, if not greater, challenges. You won't be able to live in student housing indefinitely, even if you were able to find any. 

Is student accommodation only for the first year?

Most students move into shared houses or apartments after their first year, either because they offer more independence or because halls of residence are only accessible for the first year.

You can shop till you drop in Orchard Road, you will find shops alongside the two sides of the street, we challenge you to finish all the shops in one day. There is also Vivocity Mall, it’s very interesting. June is famous for having the Great Singapore Sale. 

We also recommend Chinatown and Little India, the best tourist places, there are a lot of great Indian temples. And of course, we can’t forget the most popular, The National Museum of Singapore.

Since Singapore is known as “the garden city”, the Singapore Zoo is one of the best rainforests in the world, but the more interesting part is the Night Safari. There's also the Jurong Bird Park, Sungei Buloh, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, MacRitchie Reservoir, and Palau Ubin are nice for nature walks.  

The best way to get around Singapore is via its Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) subway system. This underground network stretches across the entire city. However, once you're in the desired area, walking is your best option. MRT also operates bus routes that can get you just anywhere you desire on the whole island. And there is a card you can get at any MRT station to help you pay faster without booking a ticket every time. 

You may find yourself lost in Singapore but that’s not a problem. Look carefully at the trunks of roadside trees, and you will see numbers to indicate ‘Tree number #’, dial: 999 for help and tell them the tree number#. They will immediately know your exact place. Not only the trees but lampposts, bus stops, and telephone booths are all numbered. Another mind-blowing fact is the “bomb shelter”, every house in Singapore is designed to have a bomb shelter. Not only houses are the ones that have bomb shelters, but all underground MRT stations have been designed as public bomb shelters.
