The bridging course has passed half and every year at this time we have to decide the major we want at university and which hall we prefer. Most of us have already decided the course we are going to choose because we have known the fundamental knowledge about them. However, when it comes to the hall, we are confused as we know little about it. As a result, “which hall do you want to choose” has become a hot topic these days.
There are six halls in NUS and each of them has its special character. To help us get further knowledge of them, this Thursday night, my seniors took us to some halls to have a visit.
The first station was Eusoff Hall whose transport condition was good because it was aside to a bus station. There were many blocks in this hall which were about 4-floor high and had the style of the traditional tropical villa. If you want to live in a double room, Eusoff Hall is a good choice as well as Temasek Hall which is near it. But I don’t want to live in a double room and don’t like the style here, so skip it.
Kent Ridge Hall is the one I prefer which is more modern than others because it is not long since it has been built. Many of my seniors live here so we could have a deep knowledge of it. Most of the blocks are 7 floors and there are only single rooms. The room is not big which has a bed, a table and many wardrobes. The thing I like most is the big window in the room which covers the whole wall, so there can be plenty of sunshine in room. It is so harmonious which gives me the feeling of home. Later at dinner time, seniors invited us to KR’s dining room to have dinner which was much more delicious than that in Eton Hall.
I think I’ve already have my choice. What about you?
Actually I am not picky about which hall to live in. Just a single room is what I want, whichever hall is OK. I just want a space of my own. I just want to be alone.
ReplyDeleteHow about KE7? Do you know anything about KE7?I'm thinking about KE7 and KR. I'm going to major in engineering and i usually get up late in the morning. So it's better to live in a hall nearer to engine.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you look for in a hall of residence? - the external features or the conducive environment or the friends or transport or the type of rooms or the food? It is also the attitude of mind - if you already decide to LIKE a place, you WILL LIKE it. Enjoy your stay. Eventually the place grows on you and you will feel sad to leave.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't like KR a little bit. The corridor is too drowsy and the committee charges often and a lot!
ReplyDeleteBesides, imagine the "single" life--
when you want to share something, how disappointing it would be if there's nobody around but silent walls!
Oh my goodness, it's terrible for me!
There is no strict good or not hall. It is just a taste of different people. I care more about the environment rather than the people around.
ReplyDeleteAbout your writing, I think you chose a very hot topic in SM3 students to talk about. However, I think you should give every hall an equal opportunity to describe because you did not mention the hall I like.
