FAQ
Residential programmes
What is a "residential programme"? Is it like staying in a hall or a campus dorm?
A residential programme combines an academic programme with a residential component. A hall is a place to stay on campus. A residential college is also a place to stay on campus, but, on top of that, it offers an academic programme in the form of credit-bearing courses that students take within the college. The University Town College Programme , Ridgeview Residential College Programme and the NUS College are examples of such programmes.
If I am interested in on-campus housing, should I apply regardless of my E-Scholars application?
Yes. You should apply for on-campus housing if interested. The application outcome for E-Scholars will be after the on-campus housing application deadline.
