2023 LATEST UPDATE & my experience in KE7 vs RH Prince George's Park House (PGPH) no longer exists and has been replaced by three new houses: Helix House, Pioneer House, and Light House. These houses are situated in the same location as Prince George's Park RESIDENCE (PGPR), but in different blocks. The main difference between HOUSES and RESIDENCES is their selection criteria. Houses have a few interest groups. They are optional to join but you will have a higher chance to get a stay if you are capable to contribute to these activities. Hence, to apply for a house, you will need to fill out a portfolio form, indicating what you can contribute to the residential community. (Having outstanding leadership experience can be an advantage!!) However, residences such as PGPR and Utown Residence do not require a portfolio. You can secure a place in these residences without any co-curricular achievements in your first two years (international student's 2 year guaranteed stay) However, in your third and fourth years, you must join NUS CCAs and get nominated to their quota for these residence housings, and having top positions can be safer. If you are willing to join CCAs, halls are a SAFER option to secure as long as you have enough points each year. This way, you will never get kicked out. >< You can also be the cluster leader (like a floor leader) of PGPR or Houses to continue your stay. other than that, you can try to apply to be Residential Assistant every year when NUS sent out the application email in Feb. Residential Assistant usually manage Utown Residence and PGPR --> U DONT NEED PAY HOSTEL FEES but you can't leave singapore too long for holidays because technically you are a staff who needs to work on student's vacation too. - - My experience in KE7 vs Raffles Hall KE7 is nearer to Kent Ridge MRT but Raffles has a few public bus stops around. (bus services end later than mrt iykyk) KE7 is nearer to Business School (2 stops) but it's very easy to get around anywhere with the free school bus. Raffles take 5 stops to Business but the bus is much less crowded than the bus from KE/PGP to Business so the ride is more comfortable. So i don't think the distance between Faculty and Hostel matters a lot actually! Raffles is also situated at the heart of NUS, very central location. I can walk to Utown, Science field, University Sport center, gym and swimming pool all within 5 minutes! so it's a very good bonus point if you are an active person! Both hall only take your CCA points from your TOP 4 CCAs, so 4 CCAs with sound commitment are enough IMO, raffles are more vibrant and eventful, i think because their CCA need to do more things to get points Like this comment if you find it helpful :)
Nice video ZS. I spent 3 years in Temasek Hall in the 90s. Best times of my life. Yes, back then TH was already know as Sports Hall and many of us were sports people. Eusoff was more culture hall then. KE7 always chill hall. Now I hope my daughter can get to NUS in 2 years time and try staying in the halls.
it’s been 6 years since i graduated! i stayed in KE years 1-3! can confirm KE is very windy and cool. the stairs never bothered me. i rarely took the lift for classes also. there’s so few lifts that taking the stairs is faster. we were so fit back then. PGP is now a hall??
actually kent ridge is easier to get in than sheares or temasek hall for the past 3 to 4 years! you can ask your jcrc to check with your hall master/osa to confirm this actually :)
Hiii sorry i just received rejection from my hall application (first choice was temasek double…probably too competitive) so would like to get some advice before i appeal, which nus hall is easiest/easier to get in? I just want to experience the hall life for a year🥲🥲
hi! i really appreciate your video! may i know when freshmen are supposed to apply for hall before school start? and are we able to pick our roommates? thank you! :)
need to check the dates online cos every year has different application deadlines! unfortunately you can't choose for the first year! room numbber is randomised one
U mean applying CCAs? Depends on your hall and their CCAs! Some committees require interviews and some sports and performing art CCAs require trial / audition too! If don’t need, just sign up to be their members😄
ya of course can go home! Halls and residence are quite competitive to stay too🥲 but staying on campus is the best choice for an international student like me 🤩

hello芷汛！谢谢你的这期视频，特别有帮助！我是今年要入学的国际生（刚发现你的频道就被吸引了，订阅了~），现在正好在纠结宿舍，可以问你几个问题吗？
我想问一下eusoff和temasek有什么区别呀？我运动很差，但是这两个离FASS很近，不知道申哪一个好，也不知道申不申得上诶
然后Raffles的设施什么的会比其他的hall旧很多嘛？
还有一个就是我比较内向，可能不太想花太多时间在CCA上，raffles和PGP House哪个更适合我一点呀？谢谢你啦！
老实说我也不确定eusoff and temasek在文化上有什么区别 外人看起来就说是一样 据说是那些运动员们看朋友在哪里就一起选哪里😂
刚刚问了Raffles的朋友 他们说房间厕所那些都很新很干净哦 假期也有在装修一些设备
只有gym不是很新 不过raffles对面就是university sport centre了 走路可以到 然后巴士隔一站 也就是utown了 那边是NUS最齐的gym
如果你比较注重新旧 PGPH的房间是最新最美的哦！ 去年年尾才装修好
不想花太多时间的话应该会比较适合PGPH吧 不过要注意的是全部halls都是有明确的point system 只要达标就有望住满四年 PGPH虽然最新 不过他的评分制度比较不一样比较模糊 (portfolio) 据说是参与PGPH的一些commitee像rag那些会有帮助
@@zhishinn 哇，太谢谢你的回复了！还麻烦你去问朋友🥺这些tip真的超有帮助的。谢谢你哦！
@@aimeewang7282 好的没关系 你们能多了解就好😊😊

Do u find it inconvenient as the toilets are outside? Btw, yur videos r superb and informative.
可以分享medicine school吗？

我很喜欢住在宿舍！但是明年最后一年所以不会再住了～
hi! i really appreciate your video! may i know when freshmen are supposed to apply for hall before school start? and are we able to pick our roommates? thank you! :)
need to check the dates online cos every year has different application deadlines! unfortunately you can't choose for the first year! room numbber is randomised one
Can you apply for Halls before getting an offer?
For fasting it will go the the mfr room

How much is the monthly fee for student residence?

For fasting they need dates
First!
😍😍!!
你目前有读double degree还是major 什么其他科目吗？
Hello! 想知道hall的洗衣机是要每次付费使用还是免费的？包不包括在住宿费里？
Halls的全部免费 只是dryer每次20 cents
应该只有kent ridge hall & PGPH 的洗衣机和dryer 每次需要付费$1
RC (不确定是不是全部) 和 Student residence 也是$1
那通常你们会用烘干机吗？不用的话有地方晒衣服吗？
其实我没什么用过烘干机 可以在房间晒（影片背景中的小晒衣架）或者是房间外的晾衣架 看个人习惯哦！
除非每天下雨 没有办法了我才会用烘干机 （不过也可以在房间晒）
谢谢你的回复！希望我的申请会成功哈哈😄
halooo zhisinnn可以请问nus有没有心理学~
有啊 under faculty of arts and social science
hi! can i ask isit only year 1 can apply hall?
No! As long as you’re an undergraduate student
@@zhishinn okay thankyou! will it be more competitive for a year2 to apply compared to a year1?
😍😍😍
想问下你统考拿了10个A1 有拿到奖学金吗
有啊 不过不是full A就有奖学金的哦 还有很多因素要考虑
@@zhishinn 请问怎样才能拿到full scholarship对于马来西亚学生？
@@yjlee9279 是无法自己申请的 不过这里有非常详细的讲解如何获得 th-cam.com/video/AUQ_hDwd0EM/w-d-xo.html
@@zhishinn ok tqvm❤️
The dorms are nice
住校还要用CCA强？天啊。。。我现在一个排球CCA都已经够忙了(中学生)
Is both food courts halal by muis
Hi zhinzhinn 如果说有拿到獎學金, 這些費用都有全包嗎 ？
奖学金会给每年$5800的allowance哦 然后看你自己选什么类型什么价位的宿舍 比如说hall double room就是最便宜的 所以会剩下最多的零花钱😊
 謝謝，那你也是有申請獎學金嗎 ？
有的 报名过程和全部面试问题可以去看我之前的影片哦！
哈哈讲cca的时候不小心指中指
What are the subjects are there in your majors..please share it..❤️
What is CCA?
比较想知道NUS 宿舍要几时申请，要怎么样申请☺
RC 3-4月申请 Halls& Residence 5-6月
application steps
nus.edu.sg/osa/student-services/hostel-admission/undergraduate/application-guide
想问中学的课外活动重要吗？因为我都有出席但就是没有参加比赛得奖那些和當主席 这会影响大学吗？
根据我的观察 个人认为 如果说录取的话比较看学术成绩方面 奖学金才会考量各方面 包括比赛和课外活动记录比较多
小妹妹啊~ 你害我想再念書，拿2nd degree了。NUS 的hall 有收30+歲的年輕叔叔入住嗎？
Hahaha年轻的话可以考虑看看！
business school要求alevel几个A？
你读nus 是拿 full scholarship 吗？
yes😊
我住RC 很喜欢 有很多课外活动 但是又没有算分 可以花更多时间读书
那很好 很balanced☺️😉
🥰🥰
Hihi! How do you join CCAs is there any chance that we will get rejected after applying
U mean applying CCAs? Depends on your hall and their CCAs! Some committees require interviews and some sports and performing art CCAs require trial / audition too! If don’t need, just sign up to be their members😄
@@zhishinn ooooo I see.
@@zhishinn erm another question is there badminton as CCA?
Yes you can find it at all the halls.
怎么考进的呀
Can we apply NUS with our spm result?
No. Only STPM is qualified.
at least A level or equivalent!
❤️ is it a must to stay in school over night or we can choses to go home
ya of course can go home! Halls and residence are quite competitive to stay too🥲 but staying on campus is the best choice for an international student like me 🤩
@@zhishinn ooo I see thx
Hi pretty!
Hey!
想被录取
安静点啦
但是每年都可以申请换房间吗
第一年不可以 hall的话第二年开始可以选房间了
学姐你好！请问第一次去Sg quarantine 费用是多少？学校有帮忙reimburse吗？
我2020年7月隔离两个星期的费用是$800+$200 covid test （自费！）
原价是$2000++的 不过新加坡政府对学生有补贴 应该是因为政府大学（NUS NTU SMU)
现在隔离天数变21天了所以不是很确定哦 可以去看看ICA移民局那边的最新规定～
@@zhishinn 谢谢学姐！另外想问问关于住宿方面，因为网站上是按Semester算的，那么sem break你们没回来那个费用怎样算？谢谢您～
@@ivanyeo8199 一样的哦 看那个weekly rate😊
