:)When university transfers the $1,500 allownace to you, you can simultaneously get the so-called hostel subsidization of $1,040. So in fact you can have $2,540 that time. But you can not see all the money since the hostel fee, say $1,300 will be deducted through your GIRO. Hence, by simply calculation, you can get ......$1,240 in October... You won't have any subsidization for hostel during holiday, that is, you only have that $1,040 per semester for your term stay. If you want to stay over holiday here, you must pay yourself the holiday stay fee. If you clear out everything, you won't need to pay a single cent. Normally, they pay several dollars to put their stuff in store room.

请sm3住过raffles的学长证实一下今天得到消息说，我们8月下旬将发给7，8，9三个月所有的钱，但是到十月份发钱的时候就会一下子扣掉一学期所有的住宿费用，据说有1300之多。真的有这样的事吗？是一学期还是一年呢？ 这个1300是怎么算出来的呢？都有些什么费用啊？ moe不是传说还有住房补贴的吗？ 补贴最后会给我们，就是说补贴会抵消这1300中的一部分吗？ 还有一个问题就是如果你放假回家的话，你把东西都清出来，moe的住房补贴会发到你帐上吗？还是仍然交给hall呢？

We don't have hostel subsidization during holidayI think so, it was what I heard from MOE long long ago... The $1,040 is the amount for your semester stay, not for your holiday stay. It was what MOE offically told me before

就说要raffles sm3的学长证实嘛看，三三小姨的papa和noah意见不统一了吧？ 不过还是很感谢你们啊，热心人。谢谢了！bow!
