Amidst the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, local universities have chosen to do away with their annual open house, choosing to showcase their campuses online instead.

While open houses are naturally an opportunity by schools to show off what they have to offer, a Facebook post by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) displayed some rooms that looked quite different from the typical hostel room.

Fancy rooms with potted plants

NTU guarantees all freshmen two years of accommodation on campus.

As a result, many NTU students often experience living in campus, especially since the school is located in Pioneer.

In order to promote NTU's virtual open house, which took place on Feb. 29, 2020, the university posted room makeover ideas, boasting rooms decorated with just upcycled materials.

The result? Rooms that would not look out of place in a studio showroom.

Many of these rooms feature a variety of potted plants, with one room going to the extreme of having multiple cacti on the floor.

Technically possible, but unrealistic

In the comments, many NTU students and alumni chimed in, giving their opinions on these impeccable rooms.

Some even claimed that their rooms did not, and would never, look anything like the photographed rooms.

Others hinted that they were inspired to spruce up their own rooms after seeing the pictures.

One said that while these photos were technically possible, a vast majority of NTU students are likely to be too busy to decorate their rooms in such an elaborate fashion.

Finally, one astute commenter pointed out a pertinent question: what happens when you need to move out?

These room designs were an effort by HEY!, a magazine published by NTU, to dress up five different hall rooms with only upcycled materials.
