<p>i checked out the accomodation list on the SMU website.....do we have to talk to the hostels directly or will the university help me? Also should i contact them before the matriculation package comes or should i wait?</p>
<p>golden rule: call them n ask if u have any confusions since the issue is abt your accomodation!!!
since i am not going smu, my knowledge is very limited :(</p>
<p>city campus accomo's pretty awesome. within strolling distance of almost everything cool to do in singapore. you could hit indochine to 3am and stagger back into your dorm room if that's your thing. you can't do without a taxi ride if you stayed at kent ridge or the bk timah hostels. its almost an expat lifestyle.</p>
<p>and i am bloody jealous of the campus....... :mad:</p>

<p>i'm from chandigarh........hey listen whats the REAL budget for monthly expenditure? S$1200 or more?
neha ur inputs will be welcome here....</p>
<p>invictus: i think munchie monkey is the bar......</p>
<p>hayden: i woudl say accomadation can cost u form anywhere between $200-800 deoending on location/house/number of ppl u are sharing hosue with.... food prob 300-400 n transport perhaps 150-200... obviosuly u gotta cut down lot on accomodation n find roomates....
go to <a href="http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/index.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/index.php</a>
and try to ask ard more.... and definitely definitely talk to smu abt housing!!!</p>
<p>hayden...i spoke to 2 guys n a gal who studies in SMU....n they all sed the max expense can be S$1200...n if tried it can be brot down to S$900....thers also a loan tht covers your cost of living to
the extent of $3,600 a year. Assuming you're in Singapore for about 9 months
in a year, that works out to be $400 per month...so the rest u got to manage..</p>
