Accommodation & Costs of Living
International Student Dormitories are allocated to students once their offers are accepted.
By living together in students’ dormitories, students are provided with great opportunities to build up friendships and help each other. Internet connection, electricity points, water, bathroom and other necessities are all available in the rooms though students will need to buy bottled water for drinking.
Currently, there are dormitories on both the Yanchang and Baoshan campuses. Supermarkets, book stores and the university health clinic are all close to the dormitories.
Both single room and double room are available. Public kitchen and laundry facilities are located in the dorms.
