1 Student Accommodation Information Guide 2015 PSB Academy Pte Ltd 355 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee Singapore Tel (65) Fax (65) Co. / GST Reg. No E

2 WELCOME Congratulations to being offered admission into PSB Academy. This may be your first experience living away from home and in a foreign country. Choosing a suitable place to stay is a major priority, and you would want to settle in as soon as possible. We urge you to start looking for a place to stay well before you arrive and before the term starts. There is heavy demand for student accommodation and available units may be taken up very quickly. The earlier you begin your search, the greater the chance of finding a place that meets your needs and budget. It is not advisable to look for housing by mail or by phone from unfamiliar sources. If possible, you should meet your prospective landlord and inspect the accommodation. It is also best to negotiate rentals and use of facilities in person and together with any room-mate(s) if you are planning to search for accommodation after your arrival in Singapore. We are looking forward to having you with us as much as you look forward to the PSB Academy experience. As you prepare for your way to Singapore, you may wish to check out some of the useful accommodation information here.

3 TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION Shared House / Apartment A group of students can get together to rent a house or a flat, and share amenities such as living room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Residents do their own cleaning and may have to pay their own utility bills. Room in Owner-occupied Apartment (Mostly in Housing & Development Board Apartments) This is the most common type of housing for international students. For this type of rental unit, the student rents a vacant room in a flat currently occupied by the flat s owner. Students negotiate with owners on the use of amenities like washing machine, cooking facilities, telephone, television, internet access, etc. Private Student Hostels A number of privately run hostels take in foreigners that hold a Student s pass card issued by the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Each hostel has its own range of charges for room and board, and facilities.
