NUS is in Kent Ridge.
I live in Marine Parade (just opposite McDonalds ECP).
I cannot afford to stay in Hall.
Motorbike licence is out of my price range, much less car
licence.
I take THREE buses to school every single day to save money. MRT
takes almost the same amount of time, and so I take the bus instead
so that I can sit down most of the time.
Takes 1 hr 30 min normally. Up to 2 hours sometimes.
Count your blessings.
