3. Accommodation

• International students are advised to seek off-campus accommodation as there are limited places for on-campus accommodation in NTU. Students seeking off-campus housing should begin their search before departing for Singapore. In fact, many students make it a practice to secure a room at a student hostel in the neighbourhoods near NTU/NIE before their arrival.
