Living Cost and Expenses

In general, Singapore's pricing for basic essentials including food, clothes, public transportation, basic education, and utilities is fairly reasonable. Taxis and public transportation are also fairly affordable. Housing, private schools, and car maintenance, on the other hand, are relatively expensive.

In Singapore, a single person's typical monthly costs (without rent) are roughly 800 SGD (575 USD). It's essential to keep in mind that maintenance costs vary per university and that the price listed is generally an estimate. The price range is generally between $150 to $800. Furthermore, the amounts provided are for students who live in university dorms. A private room/hostel would be more expensive, and the costs are continuing to rise. A private room in a private apartment will set you back upwards of S$1000.
