College Green Hostel Reopens
Saturday, 10th April 2010
Opened in 1952, the pre-war terrace homes in a 5,000 sq metre estate tucked away off Dunearn Road housed University of Malaya and later, University of Singapore students till they closed in 1981. Later, they were leased out by the Singapore Land Authority as rental homes. In opening ceremony of the newly-refurbished Dunearn Road Hostels, now known as College Green Hostels, President SR Nathan remembered about hostel life which between 1952 to 1954 he had lived in one of them.
