Student Accommodation

How is the accommodation in China like? And what’s it like to stay in Chinese hostels and apartments in China? Accommodation in China is very open and students have the option to choose. 

You might wonder for a second how accommodation is like for international students in china. Well, I can assure you there is nothing to worry about. Depending on the rules and regulations of the school you will be enrolling in, you will be open to either leave in a school hostel, rent an apartment outside campus or stay with a local Chinese family.
For most of the international student, the sure way is to accommodate in a school hostel. Most Chinese universities provide comfortable and affordable hostels for international students. Generally, international student hostels come with a private bathroom, washing machine, refrigerator, TV set, and internet access. The cost for accommodation ranges from 400 USD to 1,500 USD annually for different types of rooms. Due to the difference in cost of living, university accommodation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai cost more than that of smaller cities such as Qingdao or Dalian.
Though just a few Chinese universities allow students to live off campus, almost all universities allow senior students to apply for off-campus accommodation which is strictly supervised by university coordinators
