Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It is the best way to live as a foreign student i Singapore as it would be difficult to get into the "student life" in any other way. Also, it is very expensive in Singapore.

The accommodation is good enough but there are a lot of rules and the rooms could be bigger.

Try to contact foreign students or teachers, they are more likely to know "where you come" and what you are after.

Only in tutorials really. International and local students are generally very different and foreign students some times dominate to much. More vocal.

Less papers/presentations about the same subject! We had to do several presentations/essays for some subjects about the same topics. Very boring.

Personal spending habits
Food, the food here is much cheaper. I have spent more because I have been eating out a lot. For everyday food we have the school canteen which is very cheap. No need to cook!
Telephone and nightlife is expensive here.
I have spent a lot on travelling because I wanted to take the opportunity to see the region.

Personal comments
Boat Quay!!!!
Chinese New Year at Chinatown.
Best Club in town is most likely the "central".
If you are looking for a nice and calm place to hang out with a girl you are in love with, you should check out Mt. Faber.
