NANYANG Technological University (NTU) has announced plans to become a residential campus in the next five years.
Under the university's Campus Master Plan, 5,000 new hostel places will be created by 2015 in order to provide a place to all undergraduates who want to live on campus. Already, NTU has 9,200 hostel places and all first-year undergraduates are guaranteed a place in the hostels. The current 9,200 places are spread over the existing 16 halls of residence.
NTU's senior associate provost, Professor Er Meng Hwa, said: 'We now have about 40 per cent of the undergraduate population living in the 16 halls of residence and another 20 per cent of the graduate students living in the graduate hall. The increase in hostel places will allow over two-thirds of the undergraduate population to stay on campus.'
NTU is the largest of Singapore's universities and takes pride in being a campus in a garden, with 200 hectares of lush greenery. The campus houses four colleges. three autonomous institutes and a host of research institutes and centres.
Monthly rental per student at the hostels ranges from $165-210 for twin- sharing rooms and $230- 290 for single rooms.The rates are the lowest of Singapore hostels but will increase as NTU plans to gradually move towards recovering operational costs of running the halls.
