On campus accommodation at Universiti Brunei Darussalam is located just 4 minutes away, by foot from the faculty buildings. The pictures below feature the Female Residential College. In total, there is approximately 700 space for rent to students in both Female and Male Residential College. In my earlier posts, I have featured the currently
under construction Residential College.

The rooms are highly popular amongst the UBD students.

The Female Residential College has 6 blocks
and Male Residential College has 4 blocks.

View from the back. Due to the the campus's close proximity to the South China Sea, the inhabitants of the Residential College experience fresh sea breeze nearly all day..

A typical block is a 2 storey block, with the common
facilties such as kitchen and bathrooms in the middle.

A typical kitchen. One for each floor. The Residential Colleges is a
catered facility, although some students do opt to self cater. The eatery is
located within the central area.

A typical prayer room...

Dining area...

This is how a typical room looks like. The pictures
are taken during the long vacation
period ~~ thats why the room look a bit anonymous..
Most students except a for few international students
vacate their room during this long break.
The Estate Office carry out major
repairs and cleaning works during this time.

View from one of the rooms in the ground floor. All rooms are
equipped with a study area, single bed, and a closet.

The University takes safety seriously. These canisters are
found within easy access throughout the accommodation.

A typical bathroom..

All the blocks are equiped with ramps to ensure accesibility for all.

Look who I found! In camouflage. Almost missed it. I'm not sure what it is though, it looks like a butterfly in white tile and cement colour to me :) Top contender for a place as the Estate Office mascot.
