Visiting researchers can apply for accommodation
on campus through the RMBR, at the following places:
1. Visitor's Lodge
2. Eusoff Hall
3. Kent Ridge Hall
4. King Edward VII Hall
5. Temasek Hall
Accommodation at these places cost in the range
of S$60++ (about US$36) per night. These rooms are in great demand,
so please apply through the RMBR at least two months in advance.
They are relatively far from the city, but offer good rooms within
easy reach of the museum, and will be convenient to the research
visitor working on a short time budget!

individually-controlled air-conditioning system, a telephone,
television, tea and coffee-making facilities and a mini-refrigerator.

Saturdays - 8.30am-5.15pm

Arrival after office hours - collect keys from
Office of Estate & Development (OED) Security Guardpost:
If you are arriving after these hours, RMBR will arrange for the
keys to be collected at the Office of Estate & Development
(OED) Security Guardpost at Estate Office Drive, which is open
24 hours a day. Refer to the
map for the location.
If you are coming from the airport, do the following:
1. Take a taxi from Changi Airport to NUS (note
that there is a $3 surcharge from the airport in addition to the
metered fare).
2. The taxi will take the East Coast Expressway
from the airport, and then the Ayer Rajah expressway.
3. There are two entrances to the university;
tell the driver to exit the expressway at the Clementi Road exit,
and then turn left into Kent Ridge Cresent.
4. When the taxi turns into NUS (Kent Ridge Cresent),
you will pass the University Cultural Center (UCC), and then lookout
for the Estate Office Drive on the left. The OED security post
is located here.
5. The security staff will be there, and will
be aware that you are arriving to collect the keys.
6. Ask the taxi to wait while you collect the
keys from the security, after identifying yourself.
7. Back to the Kent Ridge Cresent, ask the taxi
driver to continue in the original direction that you were traveling.
8. When you reach a roundabout (road circle),
proceed straight and continue along Kent Ridge Crescent.
9. Almost immediately across the road (on the
right) will be the Visitor's Lodge; the taxi will have to do a
U-turn to drop you at the entrance.
The room number is indicated on the key tags.
Happy snoozing!

Off-Campus Accommodation: A whole variety exists,
from backpacker hostels to 5-star hotels. Taste the flavour of
Singapore city after a hard day’s
work. But pick accommodation near an MRT station if you on a long
research visit, and will be traveling by public transport to campus
everyday.
