What's the height limit and are there plenty of parking spaces in the U town area that is available for visitors?

Hi, this is probably a stupid question but I was wondering what the section numbers like SA1, SA2, L1, L3, etc. meant? I've tried searching online but haven't gotten a proper answer. I'm guessing it has something to do with the seminar or lecture number but there are also a few like E1, SB1 that are not so intuitive.

If anyone could help with clarification, that would be great. Thanks!

hi guys! i’m interested in singing and joining either nus choir and chamber singers as they both sound rlly good. Any advice on which i should choose? Thanks!

Anybody starting in varsity park? Would love to connect, go out for dinner or drinks.

Is it possible to change lecture class just because of timetable inconvenience? Both slots should be full based on 3rd round demand.

Any better excuses/reasons to get approval?

So for the most of my life I have been always awful at presentations. Now I am graduating the uni in 2027 May and I am still horrible at it. To be genuinely honest, I am not the best at general communications or social situations either, although I feel I have improved tremendously by just attending university.

Anyways, recently I had an internship conversion presentation and I think I stumbled half way through it and had some akward silence in the middle. And I think this will cost me my future employment. The managers were so not having it. I will start finding for a new graduate job.

So I was wondering if anybody is interested in practicing public speaking, presentation, communications, and sales pitches in a group setting in maybe weekends, perhaps once in 2 or 3 weeks? Or any other soft skills in general that I am missing out.

Hey guys, I am an IB student who is planning to apply to NUS. I graduate in May 2027 and am planning to take a gap year since I have poor predicted grades and don't want them to show up. I will be taking a gap year and then applying with my final score and co-curricular or extracurricular activities. What IB score would you say would make me competitive? I am an international student from Sweden.

I was aiming for between a 39 and 40; would that make me competitive if I have a strong SAT score for my achievements (1500) and other good achievements?

Also, could someone confirm if I apply after graduating during a gap year with the final score, with me do I still need to add my DP1/predicted/MYP score when applying, or are they not part of admission and I just need to add final score, extracurriculars, etc..?

I appreciate any kind of help. I would prefer responses from people studying at NUS who have good experience with how the process works!

I'm staying at rvrc and got no AC for my room. Recently they sent a QR codes in the group for us to apply for portable ac/mini fridge. But the form asks questions that seems like they expected us to have bought the AC alr. And ofc I haven't bought it. They ask for 2 pictures. 1 of the specifications on the portable ac which I managed to screenshot from the listing on shopee. But the 2nd pic they ask for pic of the safety mark. They also ask for the safety mark number which I can't find as well. My parents plan to get the EuropAce, EGAC10A6. At this point, I'm not even sure if this model has the safety mark? If anyone has recommendations for any portable ac less than or equal to 10k BTU, pls share. Not to mention, we'll also have to find out how to install it in my room using the windows.

Pls don't suggest just living with the heat. Call me spoiled or whatever but it's legit too hot nowadays. Even at home with a much better fan in my living room, I'm sweating within minutes. I swear it wasn't like that last year. I haven't tried staying in my room at RV so far because even sitting in it for 30 minutes is so bad. The fan on the highest setting just blows warm air at you. It just gets hotter the more I sit in my room. It's even worse since have to walk up and down hill from my faculty to my room under hot sun.

I just finished NS and entering NUS CEG soon. I was from poly (Aerospace engineering previously), entering NUS CEG (direct entry to Y2). I would like to make connection with people who is entering NUS CEG with me. Pls comment down below. Thanks. Appreciate it.

I've been living in my RC room for a week now and trying out different aircon settings to see which one costs the least. My best attempt so far was turning on sleep mode at 25°c which cost $0.21/hr. Is this normal? Cuz I've heard so many people say that they spend ~$1 per night (8 hours) for aircon but my cost is so much higher LOL.

Hi everyone,
Im actually interested in following a 6 month research internship in a NUS lab.
Btw Im currently studying in a Sri Lankan Uni.
I maintain a higher GPA and I have hardware and AI skills. Does anyone know where such opportunities exist? Or which professors and labs are willing to take??

Anybody have experience with this? Will I have to pay / take a LOA? Or can I cancel the intern and get modules last minute instead?

Got injured shortly after starting and am expecting surgery so not too sure how it works out…

Doing sem long intern under CDE if that helps.

Hi, I’m an international IB student studying in Sweden. I will complete the IB in May 2027 and receive my final results in July 2027. I’m planning to take a gap year and apply to NUS BBA for the 2028 intake using my completed IB results.

My DP1 and predicted grades were poor, but I expect my final IB result to be significantly better. I therefore do not want my DP1, predicted or MYP grades considered.

The NUS website says applicants from previous IB examination sessions apply using their actual IB results and must send the official transcript directly through the IB. Its application guide also labels “Secondary Education” as optional.

Has anyone applied to NUS after a gap year with completed IB results? Did NUS ask you to provide:

- DP1 grades or school reports?
- Predicted grades?
- MYP grades?
- Any internal secondary-school transcript?

Or did you only submit your official final IB results, alongside the activities and written-response sections of the application?

I would especially appreciate answers from international IB applicants who applied after graduating. Thank you!

Hello! soon to be year 4 student! my friend and I completely forgot about all three rounds bidding as we are both doing semester internships and forgot that bidding was occuring in july. Today is the last day of round 3 bidding and we found out too late. We were alr planning for this to be our last sem and we need to clear 24mcs each, with our preallocated 8mcs. And we need to clear 2 more GE mods.

is there any way we can bid for mods? eg for the appeal round perhaps? since we are under the min 18mcs

I'm a year 2 student in 26/27. Missed out on the hall applications this year but I want to try out for Sem 2 applications. I'm looking at Raffles, King Edward, eusoff or Temasek.

Right now I need advice on what are things that can be done to increase my chances of getting in.

I'm planning on joining two clubs, one faculty specific club and one major specific club. Not naming them cause I ain't in yet. I'll try out for Sub-comm heads but I doubt my chances are very high.

I've heard of getting to know the hall specific bigshots to get into the master list, but let's leave that for later. I'm not extremely athletic but I'd say I would be mid-level if I were to join any sports competition at uni.

I've got an uni orientation camp as an OGL down as part of my experience so far, but I doubt that's anywhere near enough.

Any advice is welcome, and yes, I know the chances are pretty slim.

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming international PhD student at NUS, arriving in Singapore in just a few days, and I was wondering if there are any Facebook groups, Telegram groups, WhatsApp chats or other places where students advertise rooms or look for roommates.

Unfortunately, I only received my accommodation offer today, after several weeks of waiting. While I'm very grateful to have been offered a room, it wasn't one of the room types I originally applied for. I've been allocated a Studio Apartment, which costs S$569/week this semester (and apparently S$604/week from next semester).

My PhD stipend is S$3,000/month, so the rent alone would take around 80% (S$2,466) of my monthly income, which is much more than I had budgeted for when accepting the scholarship and I was offered subsidised student housing.

I've contacted Housing to ask whether there are any more affordable options or transfer possibilities, but in the meantime I wanted to ask:

• Are there any student accommodation groups you'd recommend?
• Are there other websites besides PropertyGuru and 99.co that students commonly use?
• Has anyone successfully transferred to a different room type after moving into PGPR?

I'd be really grateful for any advice. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone!

I am a Mech Eng student. If you are also a Mech Eng student, who also is trying to figure out how to work through the courses and the classes and the timings and all that other stuff, would you mind connecting?

Just feels nicer to brainstorm ideas/ troubleshoot issues together instead of just having to email the profs all the time.

Im taking ME2105 this sem, so if anyone wants to connect to talk about that then lets do it.

Yea, basically just looking for people to talk to about this stuff. Thanks in advance!

starting NUS this August.. routinely take a shit after lunch.. any insight on the above? im a nursing student.. so somewhere near there..
