Room Types of Student Accommodation in Singapore

uhomes.com offers a wide variety of student accommodation options in Singapore, ranging from affordable to high-end comfort, ensuring there is something for everyone. Here are some of the most common types of student accommodation in Singapore:

 

On-Campus Student Accommodation in Singapore

On-campus accommodation in Singapore is mainly for local and international students and is managed directly by the university or college. Places in on-campus accommodation are limited, and applications are highly competitive. Some schools are only open to undergraduates or specific year levels.

 

Off-campus Student Accommodation in Singapore

Off-campus accommodation options are more diverse and include HDB for rent in Singapore, condo for rent in Singapore, serviced apartments in Singapore, and shared rooms. The advantage of off-campus Singapore student accommodation is that it is flexible, allowing students to choose the type of room that suits their budget, location, and personal preferences. Apartments are typically equipped with amenities such as internet access, air conditioning, and laundry facilities. Additionally, off-campus accommodation is exempt from school rules and regulations, offering more freedom in life, making it suitable for students who wish to live independently or share a room with a friend.

 

1. Studio Apartment for Rent in Singapore: A studio apartment in Singapore is an open-plan living space that cleverly combines a bedroom, a simple kitchen, and a living area with an en-suite bathroom. This type of housing is especially suitable for students who value privacy and prefer a separate living space, and the monthly rent is typically 20-30% lower than that of a one-bedroom apartment.

 

2. Single Room for Rent in Singapore: A single room for rent is a separate bedroom in an entire home, where the tenant enjoys complete privacy and sleeps, but shares the living room, kitchen, and bathroom with other roommates. This type of room is very cost-effective. A single HDB flat for rent in Singapore rents for S$800 to S$1,500 per month.

 

3. 1 Bedroom Condo for Rent in Singapore: A 1-bedroom condo features a solid wall that completely separates the bedroom from the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, creating a separate functional area. This type of apartment is not only suitable for single students seeking a better quality of life, but is also popular among couples. Compared to studios, 1B apartments offer more space and privacy, and the monthly rent is usually 15-25% higher, ranging from around S$3,000 to S$5,000 in the city centre.

 

4. Shared HDB Flats for Rent in Singapore: Shared HDB flats are bedrooms shared by multiple people, usually with 2-4 beds, where tenants share all the amenities. This type of accommodation not only significantly reduces the cost of living (a house for rent in Singapore costs only S$500-1000 per month), but also provides a wealth of socialisation opportunities, making it especially suitable for international students new to Singapore who want to integrate quickly into local life.

 

5. 2/3/4/5 Bedroom Condo for Rent in Singapore: Multi-bedroom condominiums offer 2-5 separate bedrooms with 1-3 bathrooms, and tenants share kitchen and living room space. This type of apartment is popular among student groups, as it guarantees privacy and allows friends to live together and share the rent. We provide professional roommate matching services to help you find like-minded living partners and make your foreign study trip more cosy and enjoyable.

Especially for students who choose to live off-campus in Singapore student apartments, this convenient transportation makes the choice of where to live even more flexible, saving on accommodation expenses and allowing them to enjoy a richer local life experience.

 

1. MRT
The MRT is the backbone of Singapore's transportation system, with six lines running through major areas of the island. With a student EZ-Link card, you can enjoy discounted fares and travel from off-campus student accommodation in Singapore to campus in 20-30 minutes, making it easy for students living in more cost-effective areas such as Clementi and Jurong East to get to class on time. Most MRT stations are wheelchair-accessible, making it easy to bring your luggage or bicycle with you.

 

2. Bus
A well-developed bus system complements the MRT network perfectly, with more than 300 routes covering all corners of the city. The night bus service ensures the safety of students returning home late, and students living off-campus at the student hostel in Singapore can use it to explore the local community further.

3. Taxi
Cabs and internet rides (Grab/Gojek) offer flexible options for exceptional circumstances.

5. Train
Singapore is connected to the Malaysian rail system through the Woodlands Train Gateway, which provides access to all major cities in Malaysia by train: KTM Intercity Train, and the Singapore-Malaysia Short Train Service (Shuttle Tebrau).
