@ sidlaw: A lot depends on how much you are willing to shell out on accomodation and your choice of location.

@sidlaw: The food and shopping is awesome and there are loads of amazing places to hang out at, but the climate is not that great. It's hot and humid throughout the year and it can rain anytime, anyplace, anywhere, no matter whatever the month or season or time of day. Its always safer to carry an umbrella at all times. You will find most Singaporeans carrying an umbrella throughout the year.

@ Earl : The fees for IBL/Maritime/ALS are up on the Law Dept website, for 2011/12, and is unchanged at S$10,000/00 from prev years.. The other courses may change 'cos it says TBC. And if you have a CL Course to take, it starts earlier- otherwise 1st of Aug is orientation and lectures a week afterwards i think- the academic calender is on the general NUS website.
The applications for the Uni accom opens up in May - I think I'm gonna apply to Utown in any case, even though I'm looking around for a place.
Earl, I'm trying to arrange with a realtor, but would you know what rent to expect for a studio around D10/11?
@Dhar, thanks for the info. I got quite confused, the more general pages of the website state 13k and 17k, now I've seen what you mean. Thanks for the info!
Re: studio apartments. There are 2 major types of housing around here--the HDBs (government-subsidised, where 80-90% of the people live) and the Private condos. Room rent (common room and master's bedroom) in an HDB flat usually range around 300-1300, depends on the location and you have to check if the owner has approval from the HDB to lease his/her unit. HDB is quite strict on this to avoid HDB flats being used as an investment vehicle. NUS Bukit Timah campus is near the central area (Orchard Road). One turn after the Botanical Gardens (which is just beside NUS) and you're a few turns away from Orchard Road, by taxi. There aren't many HDBs around this area, mostly condos and landed residences. Studio apt in this area may fetch around the region of 2K to as high as 5K. A common room may be in the region of 900-1500, while a master's bedroom may be about 2K-5K (Now you can imagine the lease for the whole 1-2-3 bedroom apts in this area). I haven's heard of any HDBs with studio apts.
If you plan to get an agent, the usual agent's fee is half-month's rent for 1 year lease and one-month rent for a 2-year lease, anything less or more than that, then the fee is pro-rated.
Also, do check the website of the Council of Estate Agencies for a complete list of the registered agents.
Good luck!

@dhar -- thank u so mch for d info..
@ Earl-- thanks alot.. i wl search online first. if i dnt find any, dn only i wl approach an agent. Could u jst tell me an approximate rent for a single room, not v.far from campus but easily reachable to campus??
@Kaush, no worries. Do check my reply to Dhar above. For me, everywhere is accessible in Singapore, with the efficient public transport system. NUS Bukit Timah is near the central area, it may be best to look at the West and North districts for cheaper accommodation. Central and South areas are the most expensive.

Thanks Earl! Visited Singapore last week for work. beautiful place but frightfully expensive!
No worries, Ayeshia. Rent is indeed expensive here, the food prices and transportation are reasonable though, considering the cost of living in most Asian countries are skyrocketing these days.

Welcome to the group Mandavi ;) you are from CLC or LC1? Am from LC1 (afternoon batch). If you live on campus then you live with the campus rules and if you live off campus you live with your own rules :) Ofcourse am not talking of privately run hostels which are off campus but follow stringent restrictions like no cooking inside the rooms, no visitors after certain hours etc etc. I personally feel it is more convenient to live in a condo or studio close to campus.

@ Mandavi: Do go through the earlier posts in this forum. You'll get a fair understanding of the entire process of renting apts/rooms in Singapore.

Hey!
Congratulations to all of you'll for making it through. Just got my acceptance letter for the IPR programme at NUS. Hope to see you all soon!
I'm incredibly confused about the accommodation as well! Apparently, from talking to the alumni from NUS, it is quite difficult to get accommodation on campus cause of the high demand. Let's hope that the Utown caters to the demand. Does anyone know any private accommodation, apartments or condos, as it seems like a much better option, right?

@ India: hey there! Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you in the Maritime Law class. There hasn't been any new email so far from the Univ. In their acknowledgement of my acceptance of the offer, they had indicated that they'd be reverting sometime in the mid of May. Since 15th is around the corner, we can hope to hear from them
