Together with four other residential colleges, CAPT is located within University Town and within close proximity to the wide range of learning, sports and performing arts facilities.

CAPT residents live and learn within the College through an array of activities, thus creating a vibrant environment. In this highly interactive context, students participate in a unique two-year academic programme – the University Town College Programme (UTCP) – and in a variety of other activities that enrich their undergraduate experience.

The College of Alice & Peter Tan is distinguished by its vision of helping students engage with the community within and outside of NUS, and encouraging them to apply their knowledge to address issues that are important to society. The College consciously weaves these themes of active citizenship and community engagement through its curriculum and other aspects of the student experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1488361604979{background-color: #fdc300 !important;}”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”What is a Residential College?” main_heading_color=”#7b133a” heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left” el_class=”text-maroon” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;” sub_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text el_class=”text-justify text-maroon”]Residential Colleges at NUS are learning communities where students create and experience an intellectually, culturally and socially vibrant environment.
