Personal comments
I lived in a very tiny 12th floor room with another Singaporean girl (Marian). There was two small wardrobes, two single beds, two desks and one fan. The washing machines were on the bottom floor and there was no lift to the top floor rooms. There were no cooking facilities so you were forced to eat the canteen food and the bathrooms were shared with no security system on the front entrance.

I am living with my parents in Barcelona so paying a rent was obviously more expensive. Furthermore, I travelled as much as I could and I partied more than usual.

Personal comments
Most Singaporeans speak English, however knowing one of the other official languages (Mandarin, Malay, Tamil) may help you interact with the locals much better
