First, the dormitory

The accommodation provided by the school for students should be the choice of most international students in China. Influenced by domestic universities, they will be more inclined to choose school dormitories. Generally, many people will live together and have separate bathrooms, but they will not decorate the kitchen.

1. Advantages

Dormitories are usually built in or around schools. If you live on campus, you don't have to spend a long time on the road when you go to class every day. Moreover, the dormitory will be subsidized by the government or the school, and the general price is relatively cheap, which can effectively save the cost of studying abroad.

2. Deficiencies

But most dorms are shared by many people, and there will be no separate bedrooms, so everyone has no privacy. Moreover, the overall living space will be relatively small, basically overlapping, and if the relationship with roommates is not good, it will greatly affect life.

Second, the apartment

It is a house specially used by professional organizations for rent. They are characterized by independent and complete configuration and clear division of bedroom, kitchen and bathroom space. In addition to the rent, they have to pay management fees and be responsible for their own living expenses.

1. Advantages

You can choose a single room or a shared room according to your own needs, which can ensure that everyone who lives in it has a bedroom; Internal equipment is also very complete, basic furniture and electrical appliances will be available, and it won't be long before everyone will prepare for the convenience of life.

2. Deficiencies

High price should be everyone's concern, because there will be no subsidies, and all expenses need to be borne by themselves; Everyone must be careful when looking at the house. The contract is signed with the apartment management, and everything should be confirmed before signing.

Third, private housing.

There will be fewer private rental houses, which are basically in the hands of intermediaries. You can sign an employment contract with the intermediary, then screen the houses, confirm the house you want to live in, and sign a tripartite contract.

This kind of house is generally large in scale, which is more suitable for students who want to share. When looking for a roommate, you must be careful. Don't sign a contract with the landlord privately. There must be an intermediary witness, and there will be no hidden dangers in the future.
