Kent Ridge MRT station

Kent Ridge station in detail
Kent Ridge station serves the western edge of the National University of Singapore, though the main Kent Ridge campus itself sits some distance uphill and is usually reached by a free internal shuttle bus rather than on foot from the station. The National University Hospital sits directly alongside the station, making this the closest MRT stop for patients and visitors to Singapore's largest teaching hospital. Kent Ridge Park, with its wartime history and views over the port, lies a short walk to the south for anyone after some greenery between appointments or classes.
