Student Housing on NTU Campus
NTU Halls of Residence are home to some 14,000 undergraduate students. This community forms a massive family unit, actively engaging in social exchange and mutual help. Living in a hall is a unique experience that can only be reminisced about.
The halls of residence offer similar styled accommodation. With the exception of Halls 1 & 2 which offer shared suite-style attached shower and toilets and Nanyang Crescent Halls (Saraca, Tamarind and Meranti) have some single rooms with attached shower and toilet , all halls have gender specific communal showers and toilets. All halls are co-ed by floor or wing and offer single and twin-sharing rooms. Twin-sharing rooms are shared by residents of the same gender.
Rooms are furnished with a study table, chair, shelving, bed, mattress and wardrobe per resident, and are equipped with network points connected to the university's computer network.
All rooms at Halls 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,16 and some rooms at Crescent Hall, Pioneer Hall, Binjai Hall, Tanjong Hall, Banyan Hall and Nanyang Crescent Halls are fitted with air-conditioners on a pay-for-use basis.

New students in NTU-NIE Teaching Scholar Programme (TSP) assured of a place in a Hall of Residence must also submit their application. Students in this programme are assigned to either Crescent Hall or Pioneer Hall.
New students may indicate their preference for either a single or a twin-sharing room, air-conditioned or non air-conditioned room. Assignments to preferred room types are subject to availability from the rooms set aside for new students. Applicant will be assigned to another room type if his/her preferred room type is unavailable. Due to the limited vacant twin-sharing rooms available, there is a high possibility that successful students and his/her successful room mate who wish to stay together are not allocated to the same room or same Hall.
