Setting up a 24hr study place!

last SG · 2008-10-08T16:48:45+00:00

I guess the unique selling point can only be 24hrs open

Having Branches all over would solve tht problem. Hahaha.

Hmm maybe can have like private rooms?

If you come in a group u can book a private room, if u come alone, u have to share the huge common room with everyone.

But with people there sure to be noise tht is unavoidable.

I happen to be the kind of person who will turn around and tell the person who has been talking in lecture to shut up...so...I am pretty choosy in that sense...

or u have those room booking system, plus a big common room if they cant get room.

but my question is, is the rent cost going to be sustainable?

I dont think so....cos I havent been able to see how is the TS going to earn his keep during the off-peak seasons.

i would be interested

McDonald's is already providing such service (with food) long before you. Though the food a bit overpriced and getting more ex.

What makes you think that students will go to your place rather than Mac.. Not all Mac keep students away from studying at their outlets.

Furthermore if you are thinking of charging the accommodation on top of the food.. The idea is to keep it cheap or rather affordable for students who have limited amount of pocket money.

I think it will deter rather than attract.

Maybe you can try doing some surveys among students from various age group and family background. A really large sample is needed because the number of students who study overnight outside isn't really big.

I noticed students studying overnight in Mac but the number is minute. And mostly students will choose place close to their house so they can go home at dawn quickly to sleep.

My thoughts.

just to add....even for tertiary students....can use student card/matriculation card to get student meals...not limited to secondary and below with the MOE ez-link card...

must have some volunteers that are near the age group of the target audience to guide them if they have any questions on anything they dun understand.

if dun have might as well stay home study or at sch where teachers can give free supplementary classes.

I am a student

When i first saw the idea, what came to my mid isn't to sit and study at the place, but to hang out with some friends overnight there to talk or revise a little bit.

What will happen if they decide to play dota cs over lan, wad if they on music very loud? what if they take advantage of the basic fee and play games there?

Most schools starts their lesson in the morning, that means the selling point of staying overnight can only work during friday, saturday. If they have remedials on saturdays, that leaves only saturday

Since it is located in the CBD, some might find it troublesome to travel to and fro.

might work for the O/A level group...not going to work for tertiary level...range too wide...

and that basically means employing tuition teachers on stand-by for questions...that's going to cost...

Presumptuous.

I fail English neber mind...U fail logic.

Master -_- SG

seriously..

All these suggestions ultimately going to lead you to make a Lan shop

Free some more leh...think of all the overheads like air conditioning, furnishings, rental,utilities, wireless peripherals (unless [email protected] la)...u wanna provide snacks and drinks..how much u gonna charge them Confirm they will bring their own plain water or smuggle some snacks...

you could have a niche area and charge students for it..

For eg,

If a student wants to study alone, it will be free..
If they want to bring some friends for discussion, then u can charge a "private" area for them ah..charge them by the hour...of coz, have to be comfy ah..like beanbags..sofas..huge table...of course, your area should be quite big and partition it carefully...make use of all the free space..

It's gonna be a huge invesment on your part and maybe it will take a year or so to break even..
