Student Travel Note

Singapore is compact, safe, and easy to navigate, which makes it a straightforward city for student delegates. Public transport (MRT trains and buses) is reliable, affordable, and well signposted in English. For budgeting, students may wish to plan for local transport, meals, and accommodation. Lower-cost meals are widely available at food courts and hawker centres across the city, and students may wish to consider sharing accommodation with peers where possible.

If you anticipate any barriers to participation (e.g. travel costs, accessibility needs, or scheduling constraints), please feel free to contact the organisers—where possible, we will try to advise on options and support.
