stayed a month at NS, my honest take: > free food is healthy but not tasty (cafe food is great tho) > room is moldy and VERY humid. i empty the dehumidifier 3x a day > housekeeping is meh. had to ask for new sheets because mine came stained > "starting from $1.5k" means sharing a room with someone. a private room is $3k/month. that's steep relative to JB, where $1.5k gets you a fully furnished 2BR villa and food won't even cost $500/month > lots of genuinely nice people tho >lots of builders and founders, but also plenty of people job hunting, so there's zero pressure to be a founder to fit in i left halfway through my stay because it just doesn't fit me. but i've seen a lot of people genuinely enjoy it, so it really depends on your personality too :)
