Blog 2: NTU Campus Tour and College Orientation

When commuting to school, the most convenient way is by taking the MRT. However, the nearest station is about a 22 minute walk from the Yuantong Dormitory. To help with this, there’s a shuttle service available for dorm residents. The image above shows the shuttle timetable. It takes students directly from the dormitory to the station, and it runs quite frequently, which is very convenient. However, please note that the shuttle does not operate between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Here is a map of the campus—but experiencing it in person made me realize just how massive it truly is. The map doesn’t quite do it justice. Walking around that day was especially challenging. Even though it was February and temperatures usually ranged from 65 to 70 degrees, the day of the campus tour there was some sort of heat wave as it hit 85 degrees with strong sun, making it feel even hotter. That day being the first day on campus has me thinking of how hot it could get as we reach the summer months. 

This is the NTU library with a beautfiul lawn in the front. Always in amazement every time I see the architecture of the building, the inside is also just as amazing.
