NUS has 6 Halls of Residence with about 3,000 residential places. The halls are situated in different parts of the campus and are well known for their vibrancy in Co-Curricular Activities (CCA), rich history and culture.

Each hall has a Senior Common Room Committee (SCRC) comprising the Resident Fellows (staff). Headed by a Hall Master, the SCRC looks after your well being. Residents are represented by elected student members to the Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC), which helps to promote the hall's social and cultural life.

As a hall resident, you are expected to actively participate in activities ranging from sports and the performing arts to community services. You can earn CCA points for your participation in these hall activities as well as other university activities.

Subscribing to the meal plans (plans differ amongst the different Halls) is compulsory and non-refundable.  Please note that meals are not catered during the vacation period.
