for guidance. We help recommend or introduce accommodation options based on individual preferences and

Estimated Cost:
Monthly rental rates typically range from SGD 500 to SGD 1,500, depending on location, type of accommodation,

entertainment, and other personal costs.
Cost of Living
When budgeting, it’s important to account for expenses such as accommodation, food, transportation, clothing, telecommunications, books and stationery, medical insurance, and other personal costs. On average, an international student in Singapore spends between S$750 and S$2,000 per month on living expenses.

If you’re feeling unwell and need medical attention, students can:

Visit a nearby private clinic.

For emergencies, go to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department of any hospital.
