Residential Life

We want you to feel at home. Our residences 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 two years in residence at NUS College. Residence in your first year is compulsory, followed by any two semesters that need not be consecutive. An important reminder for incoming Year 1s, to please complete your Housing Services registration and acceptance of housing in NUSC within the stipulated timeline, in order to confirm your placement in NUSC.

If you are a senior student who have completed the required residency but wish to stay on, NUS College will try to accommodate your request, subject to availability.

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

The Residential Team plays a vital role in building a vibrant residential community for the College by supporting students living across our two wings with dedicated personnel to organise programmes and events, guide and provide pastoral care.

These efforts come under the leadership of the two Masters (one for each residential wing) and supported by administrative officers. Each wing has a group of Resident Fellows (RFs) and student Resident Assistants (RAs), who help residents establish healthy support networks, uphold residential community standards, and develop programmes that foster a strong sense of community.

In addition, the college also has Residential Student Life Managers (RSLMs), who act as mentors, advisors, resource persons, and community builders for the residents across the college, and actively contribute to enhancing various aspects of student life by encouraging social interaction, facilitating personal growth, and organising meaningful engagement opportunities.

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)
