NS Room Types Explained: Shared Room, Private Room, and Apartment
A breakdown of Network School room types: NS Basic shared rooms at $1,500/mo and NS Pro private rooms at $3,000/mo, plus what each includes.
NS Basic: The Shared Room
NS Basic costs 1,500 USD per month and places you in a shared room with one roommate.
NS Basic costs 1,500 USD per month and places you in a shared room with one roommate. The rooms are furnished with beds, storage, air conditioning, and basic amenities. Roommate assignments are handled by the NS team and are typically matched by gender and sometimes by schedule preferences. The shared arrangement is the more popular option among members, partly because of the lower cost and partly because many people enjoy the social aspect. Most rooms are clean, modern units in the Forest City residential towers.
NS Pro: The Private Room
NS Pro costs 3,000 USD per month and gives you a private room with no roommate. The rooms are in the same buildings and include the same furnishings and amenities as the shared option, but with the added privacy. This tier is popular with remote workers who take late-night calls, people who value personal space for deep work, and those who simply prefer living alone. The private rooms tend to fill up faster since they are more limited in number, so booking early is advisable.
What Both Tiers Include
Both NS Basic and NS Pro include the full Network School experience: three meals per day prepared following Bryan Johnson Blueprint nutrition principles, access to the gym and fitness facilities, the coworking space, daily Morning Burn HIIT workouts, sauna and cold plunge, laundry service, a local SIM card, and all courses and community programming. The difference between the two tiers is purely the room situation. All other benefits, from meals to events to the fellowship application process, are identical regardless of which tier you choose.
Making Your Choice
The decision comes down to budget and personal preference. At 1,500 USD per month for a fully inclusive living and working arrangement in a tropical location, NS Basic is remarkably affordable compared to most international coliving spaces. NS Pro at 3,000 USD per month is still competitive when you factor in that meals, gym, coworking, and laundry are all included. Many members start with Basic for their first month and upgrade to Pro for subsequent months if they decide to stay. You can apply at ns.com and select your preferred tier during the application process.
