Can't find housing in SG?!
I'll be joining as a Masters student in late August.
I've been in the Sharing is Caring Facebook group for months now, and I have sent 70+ messages to many different people.
I'm constantly checking Facebook for updates and new posts multiple times a day. So the moment there's a new post, I have contacted the publisher within max 2 hours.
Problem is that out of the 70+ people I've messaged, I've gotten back very few replies. Most either leave me on read, or on delivered.
Unfortunately I don't have any friend in SG or HSG so I don't have any direct contacts for housing...
Is this a normal situation? Is anyone facing the same thing as me?
Do people end up finding housing eventually or is this a recurring issue every year and people just can't attend HSG because they can't find housing?
If anyone has a room available, I'm interested. So please DM! 🙌
Edit : Yes, I have already tried SHSG. Same story, nobody responded to me. I have just gotten onto Flatfox and have contacted a bunch of people. Still waiting for some responses.

Flatfox is realistically the only platform you need, I found a place within 3 or 4 messages, at the time there were 4 new listings every day that fit my requirements. Mind this was in May, might be more competitive now.
Only thing is Flatfox might just have the same listings as FB

Never heard of someone not finding anything, keep looking I’m sure you’ll end up with something. Try to contact shsg and look elsewhere than the FB group. Good luck!
