Residential Life
We want you to feel at home. Our two residential wings, Cinnamon Wing and West Wing, are spaces where you can live, study, play, and build strong connections with peers, professors, and even alumni.
As an NUS College student, you will be required to spend at least two years in residence at an NUS College wing. Residence in your first year is compulsory.
With effect from AY 2023-2024, international students without a home address in Singapore will be guaranteed a room in an NUS College residential wing throughout the four years of candidature, while local students with a home address in Singapore will be guaranteed a room in the first three years of candidature.
Please learn more about our range of financial aid to help students cover education and residential fees.
Room Types
In both residential wings, you will have a choice of mixed or single-gendered floors, different sized suites, and rooms with access to special needs facilities. Air-conditioning is also available in both wings, charged on a pay-as-you-use basis. Some facilities may vary between the wings, with single rooms and non-air-conditioned rooms available only in Cinnamon Wing.

Residential Team
Our Residential Team supports students living in our two wings. Each wing has dedicated personnel to organise programmes and events, guide and provide pastoral care; ultimately, both wings work together to build a vibrant residential community.
House Captains
NUSC students are also supported by House Captains of their respective residential houses for the academic year. Houses serve as a key touchpoint when students enter the NUSC community. Houses work closely on orientation and onboarding activities to induct students into the House system, giving students the opportunity to learn and forge meaningful and lasting relationships.
The House Captains for AY23/24 are:
| Black House | Leroy Wang (Food Science & Tech ’27) |
| Red House | Teo Yi Zhuan (Psychology + Sociology ’27) |
| Purple House | Chloe Loh (Life Sciences ’27) |
| Blue House | Do Hoang My (Political Science ’27) |
| Green House | Shah Keval Rahul (Data Science & Analytics ’27) |
| Orange House | Christine Tan (Life Sciences ’27) |
