17. Hostel & Meals
EnrolHub.com would recommend our students to stay in a hostel rather than to share apartment with other people if they do not know Singapore well enough. Hostels' costs are generally lower than apartments and they provide many facilities that apartments do not have. And also, many students got cheated for staying at apartments. Students get to meet more friends through staying in hostel so that they will not feel home sick.

Singapore Government has not set any age limit on education. However, if you are above 30 years old and would like to study in Singapore, you should be able to explain the reason for studying in Singapore and your plans after graduated in Singapore.

20. Rejection on Online Application
If you get rejection for your online application in EnrolHub.com, please look at the reasons stated. Most common reasons are insufficient financial support or the necessary fields in the form are not filled up.
21. Marrying a Singaporean or Singapore Permanent Resident
There are many foreigners thought that marrying a local female companion will entitle them citizenship. Do note that this is a very wrong information. Marrying a local will probably NOT entitle you any Singapore Citizenship. International students and work permit holders in Singapore are not allowed to marry Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residence without proper procedures. People whom committed such offence will be prohibited to enter Singapore forever.
