      Er, did I cover most essentials? haha.


      Hi phankao,

      (1) Is the restroom/toilet inside the room? If yes, does it come with hot/cold water supply?
      (2) From the photo, the room door can be locked. So, keys are being used?Can the room be locked from inside?
      (3) How many chairs are provided in the room? 2?
      (4) No curtains for the window in the room?
      (5) Just 1 each of 40 watt fluorescent lighting in the room? Is it bright enough?
      (6) How many power supply outlets in each room?

      Thanks for your feedback.
      Vanilla Cake's mum.

      Er ... you go and see today, lor. You know how many parents throng hte room, in reality!?! This photo, i waited until everyone disappeared to take, and then I missed taking photos of the pantry. Didn't get to see the Laundry room.

      1. You think what? Rooms come with Attached bathrooms, ah??!!!! Common toilet/bathroom outside, lah! I think in NTU hostels - there's only 1 hall that has attached bathrooms but after building that hall, NTU also decided to scrap the idea.

      2. I don't know about lock to the room. Never occured to check.

      3. chairs? should have 2 lah. 1 each.

      4. Curtains? no idea. Don't think boys care about curtains. Your girls have been changing in the classrooms too, so I don't think they are all that self-conscious either. Windows have the \"magic seal\" netting though - some girls there asked me what they were for.

      5. Room quite bright. At least 2 lights if I'm not mistaken.

      6. Power supply : I think there are 3 plug outlets at the wall on top of the study desk. I think there may be another set elsewhere. whatever you see, just multiply by 2 bc it's the same on each side of the room. ANd you want to see plugs - go count yourself today. šŸ˜‰

          No, it's only for JH1 - parents' boarding school tour. Not for anyone else.

                1) they use common restroom
                2) students are not allowed to lock their rooms
                3) 2 chairs are provided in each room (1 on each side of study table)
                4) There is a roller blind at the window
                5) room is bright enough
                6) I think there are 2 pantries on each level. Each pantry area has 3 washing machines ($1 per use), 2 dryers, an ironing board, a microwave, a fridge, a water cooler and wash bassin.
                7) bedsheet will be provided šŸ˜„

                  Thank you for the info, phankao n noob.


                  I think a table lamp is necessary. The ceiling light is very likely to cast the student's shadow onto the table, blocking light on study material.

                  The mini fan I bou has a short cord, hopefully the wall plug @ study table is not too high up.

                  If possible, I will take photo of the toilet n pantry today, so we hv a collection here :lol:

                  I am also interested to know where the students will hang those clothes they are to wash on their own. Is the dryers coin-operated too?

                  Hurray for the link bridge.

                    2) students are not allowed to lock their rooms

                    :D[/quote]

                    :? what is the reason ? not even for girls when they need to change or when they sleep?

                    Sorry, side track a bit ...

                    Parents, do you allow your teens to lock their bedroom door? My ds1 (sec 2) like to lock his door and I always have this problem wondering what he is doing in the room, whether he is doing his homework or ?? will there be problem moving forward? Pls share what is the best practics for you at home.

                      No such occurrence in our house since nobody locks the doors - except bathroom doors, and my MIL locks her door. The kids share their rooms, so no chance to lock.

                        Here's the table - can see the wall outlets. I think there's another near the door, but I can't be sure at this point.
