Residential life on campus
Hall living, which builds a sense of camaraderie and belonging, is an integral part of the educational experience. All freshmen are especially encouraged to stay in the Halls where they can mingle and interact with one another by taking part in sports, social functions, cultural activities, entrepreneurial activities and other leisure pursuits.
NTU has 16 halls of residence that can accommodate some 9,200 students. Students can choose either single or double rooms as well as either air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned rooms. On average, 12 percent of the rooms are single rooms. The size of hall rooms range from 8.75 sqm to 21.45 sqm. The current monthly rates for single and double rooms are $215 to $280 and $155 to $200, respectively and are subject to revision .
All halls are co-ed, with male and female residents housed on separate floors or in separate wings. The halls come with facilities and amenities such as lounges, television rooms, air-conditioned reading rooms, kitchenettes equipped with cooking utensils, laundry rooms with washing machines and computer rooms with PC terminals.
Each hall is served by a group of five academic or administrative staff members who are appointed by the NTU President to carry out the important responsibilities of mentoring the students, promoting the quality of residential life and, in collaboration with the student bodies in the halls (known as the Junior Common Room Committees), forging a Hall and NTU identity.
