Some questions about NTU Hall!

[Noobtopro]

Hey everyone!

I've some questions regarding NTU Hall, and I figured its better to ask here than NTU page since there are more active members here.

I actually live at west side and its quite a comfortable distance to travel to NTU. However, I have a scholarship which will pay for hostel, so I'm actually thinking if I should rent a hostel or not since year 1 undergrads are guaranteed a room.

Just want to find out:
1) Even if we rent the hostel, is it okay if I don't stay there? I prefer going back to the comfort of my home, but I may want to rent the room so that I can stay there during busy period, or during days where I need to study/do assignment till late. But other days am I able to just leave it vacant?

2) During school holidays, will the room still be available? Or is the rental only during school term?

3) I know this isn't allowed in hostel guidelines, but I've heard of people actually "renting" their room out to seniors who wanted the hostel. Is it okay to do it under-table?

Thanks & appreciate all advise given!

1) You can rent and don't stay at all. No impact except for potentially wasting money. But yes, you can leave it vacant.

2) During winter break, you can still rent the room. In fact it is not advisable to withdraw, but during summer break you can only rent till someone in July IIRC.

3) Rule of army applies, you can do anything just don't get caught.
