One of the first questions international students ask about NUS is simple: what will a room actually cost? Here is a realistic breakdown based on room type, location, and timing.
Typical Price Ranges
Rooms typically range from SGD 1,100 to SGD 2,200 a month, depending on room type, location, and how close it is to NUS. Exact pricing varies by availability and intake period.
What Affects the Price
Distance to campus is the biggest factor, followed by whether wifi, utilities, and cleaning are bundled into the rent. Booking timing also matters a lot: rooms secured four to six months ahead of the July or August intake are usually cheaper and more plentiful than rooms searched for in the final few weeks before the semester starts, when the best options are already taken.
