12 Peculiar Things Only NTU Students Will Nod Silently In Agreement

Welcome to Pulau NTU, the uluest university in Singapore. If you’ve studied there, you’d surely be familiar with these 12 peculiar things only NTU students will understand.

1. Travelling to school

You used to think that Singapore is small until you live in East and you would rather travel to Pulau Ubin instead.


No matter where you live, unless you stay in hall, you dread and groan inwardly on a daily basis when you think about travelling to NTU. Or rather Pulau NTU, the most ulu university in Singapore.

2.  When it rains, it floods…?

This has probably only happened a few times, but where else would you get to experience a free wading pool in school?

Exclusively at NTU’s North Spine.

3. “Eh wanna supper at Ah Lian?” 

Your stomach is growling furiously at 2am and nothing’s open? Maybe its a sign to jio your hall friends to Ah Lian to satisfy those late-night hunger pangs!

It has become a must to pray and give offerings to the almighty bell curve god.

That is if you don’t want to ‘tank’ the bell curve.

7. Wearing home clothes to school 

What’s more comfy than wearing dry-fit school t-shirts and flip flops to school?

I’m definitely not saying that all NTU students dress like that, but with the halls conveniently located within campus itself, NTU students tend to dress more casually than their NUS/SMU counterparts.
