    Work, Live, and Learn in Close Proximity

    The NUS University Town (UTown), the first of its kind in Singapore’s higher learning landscape, opened its doors in 2011. Linked to the NUS Kent Ridge campus via a link bridge (College Link), UTown is where some 2,400 undergraduate students, 1,700 graduate students and 1,000 researchers will work, live, and learn in close proximity.

    All Residential Colleges and UTown Residence at UTown are the first to be completed and certified with the Building and Contruction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Scheme (GMS) Awards amongst the 4 local universities. The BCA GMS is the equivalent of internationally-recognised sustainable building certification systems such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED, USA) and the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM, UK), which provide reliable frameworks for green construction, operation and energy efficiency management for new buildings, with the ultimate aim of minimising environmental impact.

    Undergraduate students staying in the Residential Colleges (Cinnamon and Tembusu) have the opportunity to combine the vibrancy of campus living with an exciting multidisciplinary academic programme. Graduate students moving into the UTown Residence can look forward to facilities dedicated to the University’s growing graduate community.

    Pioneer of Living & Learning Concept

    With an open-concept layout, lush landscaping and purposeful facilities, UTown aims to be the successful pioneer of the living/learning concept.

    UTown Residence

    UTown supports the university’s growing graduate community with dedicated living facilities.

    The UTown Residence can house up to 1,700 residents, with units for single and married graduate students. The design of the complex emphasizes open common areas, and the architecture fosters a sense of community and cross-disciplinary discussion.

    Resident ADvisors (RADs) will also be living alongside the graduate residents. The UTown Residence is equipped with seminar rooms and student lounges.

    Residential Colleges

    Open to all new undergraduates and existing students, UTown consists of three Residential Colleges - Angsana, Cinnamon (that houses the University Scholars Programme) and Tembusu Colleges. Each Residential College admits up to 600 students. Residents are encouraged to stay for at least 2 years to extract the optimal benefits of residential living and learning.

    Each Residential College has a Master who will be supported by a team of faculty fellows, graduate tutors and staff. They will develop the academic tone and character of the college. Together with their families, the Master and faculty fellows will live alongside the students.

    Students will have a choice of living in single rooms or sharing a 6 bedroom suite. Room rental rates are from S$110 per room per week. Please refer to the Office of Student Affairs website for details on accommodation fees.

    Each college is also equipped with facilities such as theme rooms, multipurpose halls, dining halls, student lounges and common lounges. These facilities aim to create a supportive friendly environment, cultivating spirited communities through social, educational and cultural interaction.
