HOUSing

  • Previous students said it was hard to find accommodation. 

​

  • Jenny (Spring 2016): A bit difficult to organize, some had to share a room

​

  • Jonathan (Fall 2009): Hard to find and expensive if you want to go downtown. Student housing provided a bit outside of downtown. I recommend to organise a flat share with with fellow students. Back then, living expenses were approx Eur 1200 / month, largely driven by housing expenses.

PRIce of one beer

  • Previous students said that living costs were much higher compared to Lisbon.

​

  • Jenny (Spring 2016): Expensive (apart from the food in the food courts), one beer costs like 18 SGD. On Wednesday, ladies drink for free (yes really..)

testimonies

Jenny (Spring 2016)

Jonathan (Fall 2009)

Outstanding academics and work-life balance with exotic trips. Less networking with wider CEMS community. Would fully recommend as long as can be afforded.

Anonymous (Fall 2022)

Plan your travels and save some time to go around in the end of the semester. Also watch out for housing scams. Travelling is really the reason to go to Singapore, just for the University itself it wouldn't be worth it, but take in consideration that overall is probably Top 3 Most expensive CEMS places (because of housing), but worth it for the backpacker experience

Amazing experience (if you have some money)
