Comparatively, different cultures and norms are found in the halls in Nanyang Technological University (NTU). During the meeting with their staff, I recognised that CityU’s halls and NTU’s student accommodation share a lot of common features, such as the structure of the residents’ associations and the hall admission schemes. However, they do not have ‘Student Residence Tutors’ but rather ‘Halls Fellows’, who are not students but senior teaching staff or administrative officers.

Unlike NUS and NTU, Ngee Ann Polytechnic is an institution providing Diploma degrees for students in Singapore who complete their O-level exams but decide not to take A-levels. At Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the student residence is apartment-style and is rented to Ngee Ann students free of charge on a short-term basis.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Student Residence Office for supporting us three in arranging the exchange visit to Singapore. It was a memorable trip which we will remember for many years!
