INSEAD Asia Campus — housing guide for new students

October 2026 intake · Suggested move-in: mid-September to early October 2026

What this budget actually rents

No building with prices on this site sits within walking range of this campus. Private rents nearby move with the room type, the building and when you move in — your housing plan re-checks them against what is on the market for your dates.

Where the campus is, and the commute

The nearest MRT station to campus is one-north (CC Line), about a 2-minute walk. In Singapore what matters is the number of interchanges, not the distance on a map — the same 3 km is a very different journey direct versus with two changes. Every building page carries the actual public-transport route and time to campus.

Choosing the type of housing

• School / student accommodation: INSEAD Asia Campus has Residences, but they mainly serve Executive Education and Executive Degree participants plus visiting faculty and staff. Full-time MBA participants generally rent off campus; live Residence availability and pricing should be confirmed before booking. The school’s own accommodation page (read 2026-08-22) →
• A private room: A room inside a private unit: the campus is in one-north, surrounded by newer business-park housing — new rooms, short commute, one Circle Line stop to Buona Vista and about twenty minutes into town.
• A whole unit, shared: Take a whole unit with classmates: MBA cohorts share whole units here routinely — your own space, plus a living room you can actually work in.

Sharing a whole unit is not automatically cheaper than a single room, nor automatically dearer. What it buys is the whole place, roommates you chose, and more freedom in how you live. Whether it works out comes down to the headcount and the actual whole-unit rent at the time — your housing plan works that through for your case.

Areas worth looking at

• one-north — The closest of these, with the Circle Line at the door · ≈ 6-min walk from campus
• Buona Vista — By the interchange — direct to town and to the west · ≈ 6-min walk from campus
• Kent Ridge — Towards NUS — quieter, and a notch cheaper · ≈ 12-min walk from campus
• Holland Village — Where the food and the nightlife are — and the priciest of these · ≈ 20-min walk from campus

Three traps to avoid first

• Read the lease before you pay anything. If someone wants a deposit before showing you the tenancy agreement, stop there.
• Getting your deposit back comes down to the move-in inventory — photograph every item on the day you move in.
• There is a legal cap on how many people may occupy a unit. Confirm it before sharing; do not just count bedrooms.
