IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SINGAPORE’S CULTURE

ABOUT SINGAPORE

Singapore is a cosmopolitan, multicultural, and vibrant place to study and live in. The island city-state is home to a variety of cultures, races and religions. Here, east meets west, combining the best of both cultures in a modern, dynamic city. Singapore also has a robust and world-renowned education system, making it an ideal study destination for international students. Coupled with Singapore’s long history of educational excellence, English is the most widely spoken language here, making it an ideal destination to learn English.

ARCHITECTURE & LANDSCAPE

Nearly 30 per cent of Singapore’s urban areas are covered by greenery, and this puts us ahead of many other cities in urban tree diversity¹. Singapore is truly a City in a Garden, with parks, gardens and nature reserves nestled amidst our first-rate infrastructure and buildings. A colourful mix of shophouses, contemporary structures, and cultural treasures line Singapore’s bustling streets, so you will never run out of photo spots!

[1]According to a study by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the World Economic Forum.

FOOD

Commonly known as “Food Paradise”, Singapore is home to an array of scrumptious cuisines and delicacies. Experience Singapore’s multicultural diversity through local fare such as Char Kway Teow, Chilli Crab, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Satay, and Rojak!

NIGHTLIFE

Singapore’s nightlife scene is anything but boring. Swanky restaurants, bars and clubs make Singapore’s city centre a vibrant spot for a night out with friends. Start your evening with a meal at Club Street in Chinatown, then dance the night away at Clarke Quay!

INTERESTING THINGS TO DO IN SINGAPORE

There are plenty of sights and sounds to enjoy in Singapore. Take your pick from exciting attractions and hot spots, including museums, Marina Bay Sands, Botanical Gardens, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa Island, and Universal Studios Singapore.

Factors to consider when choosing accommodation*:

CostThis includes the unit’s monthly rental fees, rental deposit, security deposit, administrative charges, agent fees, etc. It is also good to note that housing in Singapore can be more expensive within the city.

LocationDo check whether the apartment/hostel is conveniently located and if amenities like public transport, grocery stores, food outlets or banks are easily accessible.

Length of LeaseThe minimum lease of a unit is typically one year. You are advised to negotiate the terms of lease with your landlord.

OthersConsider the type of premise, unit size, and the furnishings provided. You should also consider the number of people you will be staying with. If you aren’t comfortable with crowds, look for units with fewer tenants.

Useful property and rental websites:
