Campus by The Assembly Overview
Located at Singapore 425946, Campus by The Assembly is a purpose-built student accommodation offering non-ensuite rooms in shared flats of nine or more bedrooms (labelled “greater_8b”). The property is situated in the eastern part of Singapore, within reasonable commuting distance of several major university campuses. Monthly rents range from SGD 791 to SGD 1,850 (indicative — confirm with the operator), with a minimum lease of six months. The building includes a gym and a study area. On Google, the residence holds a 4.5 rating from 52 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits
Campus by The Assembly is best suited for students who prioritise a structured social environment and do not mind sharing a larger flat. The common areas and organised cultural celebrations (Chinese New Year, Christmas, etc.) encourage interaction, making it a natural fit for those looking to build a community from day one. “Nice place to live, enjoy and study. Making New Friends from different cultures,” wrote a resident in a five-star review. The quiet atmosphere also appeals to those who need a calm study space: “very calm and quiet with all the facilities,” noted a parent of a student staying there.
The property’s location works well for students attending universities in the east or central areas of Singapore. Commute times to campuses like National University of Singapore (Kent Ridge) are about 30–40 minutes by public transport, while Nanyang Technological University is further afield (45–60 minutes). For students at Singapore Management University or Singapore University of Technology and Design, travel is more manageable — around 20–30 minutes. Families of younger students may also appreciate the on-site management and security.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Students who want a private ensuite or a studio will not find it here. All rooms are non-ensuite, meaning bathrooms are shared with flatmates. Additionally, the flats are large — nine or more bedrooms — which means more people sharing a kitchen and living area. Those who prefer smaller, quieter living arrangements should consider other options.
The rent, while not the highest in Singapore, is above the city’s typical student housing starting point of SGD 207 per month (that figure usually refers to basic hostel-style dormitories). At SGD 791 minimum, this accommodation is mid-range to upper-mid-range for student housing. Budget-conscious students may find cheaper alternatives — but they would typically involve longer commutes or fewer amenities.
One review noted that the room requires preparation: “everything need to be prepared by yourself including the blanket.” There is no bedding or linens provided. Also, laundry costs are not included: “also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself.” If you prefer all-inclusive bills, you will need to check with the operator what utilities, laundry, and cleaning are covered versus extra charges. The outdoor gym can be uncomfortably hot: “Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken.” So fitness enthusiasts who rely on air-conditioned equipment may be disappointed.
What Residents Actually Say
The Google reviews offer a balanced picture. Here are the three verbatim quotes from the dataset:
Ian Chan (3 stars):
“Have a really cozy environment nearby. The rent is not cheap, but everything need to be prepared by yourself including the blanket. Also need to pay for the washing machine and dryer and clean the bed sheet yourself. Outdoor gym is so hot and the fan were broken. (Half year staying experience.)”
Rutuja Prabhune (5 stars):
“I came at campus by the assembly place in May 2025. And it was great living here. Nice place to live, enjoy and study. Making New Friends from different cultures. Also Accomodations has celebration such as Chinese New Year, Christmas celebrations etc. Campus by the assembly place feels like home far away from your home”
S S Family First (5 stars):
“Nice place for students, very calm and quiet with all the facilities. Our daughter is staying here and finds it very convenient. It is close to her University.”
The strong positive sentiment centres on community, calmness, and convenience. The critical review highlights hidden costs (self-prepared bedding, paid laundry) and maintenance issues (broken fan at outdoor gym). These are important details to clarify with the operator before booking.
Price Positioning and Room Type Guidance
Price vs. City Minimum
Singapore’s student housing market starts at SGD 207 per month for the most basic bed in a shared dormitory, but typical private student residences range from SGD 500 to SGD 1,800. Campus by The Assembly sits at SGD 791–1,850 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This puts it in the mid-to-upper range among managed properties, reflecting the facilities (gym, study room) and social programmes. For context, many HDB shared rooms (private, non-purpose-built) can be found for SGD 600–900, but without the same community events or management.
Room Types
The property offers only two room categories: non-ensuite and greater_8b. In practice, this means you rent a single room (typically a bedroom with a bed, desk, and wardrobe) within a flat that has a shared toilet, shower, kitchen, and living area. The flat holds nine or more people. This is a very social arrangement. There are no studio, one-bedroom, or ensuite options. If you value privacy, this is not for you. If you enjoy constant human contact and shared meals, it could work well.
What Is Included
You will likely need to bring or buy your own bedding, towels, and basic kitchenware. Laundry costs are extra per cycle. Electricity, water, and internet are usually included in the rent quoted online, but always verify the exact breakdown with the operator. The gym is included, but it is outdoor and may not be comfortable during the hottest parts of the day.
Booking Timing Considerations
Because the property has a 4.5 Google rating with only 52 reviews, it is relatively established but not oversubscribed. Availability tends to tighten from March to June for the July/August intake at Singapore universities. For a January semester start, bookings from September onward are common. The minimum lease is six months, so you cannot use it for a short summer stay unless you plan for half a year.
Given the large shared flats, vacancies may fluctuate more than in smaller properties — some flats fill up, others have half-empty rooms. To get the best price and room location, start enquiring at least four to six months before your intended move-in. Price can also change based on length of lease; a longer commitment may reduce the monthly rate. Always confirm the “indicative” price with the operator, as quoted figures are subject to change.
