Hmm. Just realised that we've gotta start house-hunting soon. By Feb all the good houses will be gone. I know I'm an international student and I can stay on campus if I wanted to, but the thing is, the courtyards/corridors get REALLY NOISY in the wee hours of the night and I don't really wanna start all over again. My housemates are godsent, really. We know how to have fun but yet we control ourselves and don't make noise at night - unlike the other occupants of St Lawrence. The thing with living off campus is that you get peace and quiet and you won't be woken up by Beyonce playing at 3am in the morning.

I suppose there's good&bad for both options, but I'm seriously considering off-campus. Not because I don't like my fellow Singaporeans - I love them, but just cos I hate the noise. Plus it'd be nice having your own house. It's such a going-out-into-the-real-world kinda thing. Sweet.
