Sheares Hall (National University of Singapore) 4.68

Initially founded as the Dunearn Road Hostels (DRH) at College Green in 1952, Sheares Hall is the oldest student housing in NUS with a rich history and vast alumni base. Notable DRH/SH alumni include former President S.R. Nathan, current Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Grace Fu and celebrities such as Daniel Boey and Ivan Heng.

Sheares Hall does not have a list of values that we can simply present to you. In a way, it is not inaccurate to say that we are quite fuzzy about the values that we stand for. This is not surprising, because there are so many different values that make for a good family – care and concern, mutual respect and encouragement, open channels of communication, and so on – and to put it succinctly but accurately, Sheares Hall is the family hall of residence at NUS.

Sheares Hall takes great pride in being the family hall. And we will to go to great lengths to ensure that anyone and everyone who stays with us will have a fantastic experience while with us and will leave us with a set of wonderful memories of having had a family beyond their own.
