Accommodation at PSR

Prinsep Street Residences (PSR)

SMU Prinsep Street Residences (PSR) is an innovative communal living concept for young studying adults; our answer to the university student’s desire for shared open spaces to live and interact.

Nestled in the vibrant arts and heritage enclave of the Bras Basah Bugis Precinct, PSR is just an 8-minute stroll from SMU’s vibrant City Campus. Here, students are surrounded by the best that Singapore’s exciting city centre has to offer.

A Message from our Faculty Fellow

Welcome to Prinsep Street Residences (PSR) at Singapore Management University!

As the College of Graduate Research Studies (CGRS) Faculty Fellow here at PSR, I’m committed to fostering a warm, inclusive space—one where students, faculty, and occasional guests can gather, collaborate, play (including a little basketball!), and grow together. I hope PSR becomes a second home for you as it has for me, as you embark on your postgraduate research journey at SMU.

Our strength lies in a community built on mutual support, shared learning, and teamwork—and I’m here to help make that a reality for each one of you. Let’s work together to cultivate a dynamic, respectful, and collegial environment, forging meaningful, lifelong friendships that will stay with you long after graduation!
