OUR History
Hall of Residence 2 was first established in 1957 on the grounds of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which was previously known as 'Nantah'. It was originally built to host students from NTU as well as NUS. However, as the enrollment increased over the years, the demand for accommodation steadily rose. Hall 2 eventually came to be occupied only by students from 'Nantah'.
About Hall 2
Located right at the heart of the school campus, Hall 2 is a mere five minutes walk away from North Spine as well as the Sports Recreational Centre (SRC). Transport is also very convenient in Hall 2, with bus services 179 and Campus Rider to get in and out of NTU, as well as Campus Loop Red and Campus Loop Blue services to ease travel around NTU.
It consists of 11 double-story blocks, housing a total of 302 double rooms and 48 single rooms. The open, architectural style of the blocks ensure that residents enjoy bright and breezy rooms. Notably, our rooms are one of the most spacious in NTU and they are all furnished with built-in wardrobes (with a full-length mirror), a bed, writing desks and shelves.
Hall 2 is one of the two hostels in NTU to adopt the attached toilets system, where two rooms share a bathroom inclusive of sinks, a shower and a toilet cubicle. This unique feature is highly prized among our residents due to the additional privacy and convenience it provides.
