The Dorms - A.K.A. "PGPR" or "Prince George's Park Residences"

Here are our fabulous dorms! They really are quite nice. Like everything in Singapore (and like the overall island itself), the rooms are small but highly efficient. Plus, it's awesome to have singles! The landscape is incredibly small and incredibly hilly, and it is so fascinating how they build enormous buildings to maximize their use of vertical room.
^ As I said, it's tremendously hilly!
^ This is a courtyard behind the dorms. The bright-colored building to the left is the convenience store. Like most campus convenience stores in the U.S., it's overpriced, but it does have most of the things you could want.

^ The guys' rooms are on the 7th floor, and here I am on the balcony outside the elevator!

And lastly, here's a short video tour of my room!
