Who should apply for the new residence? The residence is opened to all students of Universiti Brunei Darussalam and the Institute Technology Brunei. However, priority would be given to students who are currently staying in college hostel and wish to upgrade their accommodation. In addition to this, we are planning to refurbish the old hostel which may result to the closure of some rooms. The accommodation office reserves the right to prioritise its tenants accordingly.

I require special needs attention, do you provide that? Our residence can accomodate for those who require special attention. Students with specific medical conditions should first make contact with the Accommodation Office so that we can address any special needs prior to making an application.

Internet access All Premier rooms have a WiFi connection to the internet.

Where can I park my car? Existing car park is available at the old male hostel area which is just opposite to the new residence. Parking area in front of the CORE building is designated for visitors in the day time. A pay parking area is also available and passes will be issued by the accommodation office.

Common Area Besides the Core building, there is ample space throughout the premises for common use. The Core Yard provides sufficient space for residence to carry out their social activities and get-together events. It is located in the centre of the complex and is connected to all the towers and the central building. The Tower Common Room is designated space for visitors to the tower. The common area is fitted with flat-screen TV and comfortable seating.

Security Increased security means our security guards will monitor the premises around the clock, and they will be stationed at the entrance of the Core building. All residents will be issued with special cards to enter the premises. The buildings are also fitted with surveillance cameras to ensure maximum security.
