Off-campus accommodation
Many overseas students wish to live off-campus once they become more familiar with the environment in Xiamen. Living off-campus makes it easier to meet and establish relations with local residents, thereby enhancing your understanding of Chinese culture and customs, and improving your Chinese.
Living off-campus in Xiamen is cheap, with the monthly rent for a spacious and comfortable flat of about RMB 1,200. Such accommodation can provide a quieter environment for study. Living off-campus in shared accommodation with classmates is both safer and helps reduce the risk of loneliness.
The Overseas Education College staff will help with the necessary formalities for living off-campus. They will advise you of the documents you will need to provide including a letter of consent from your parents.
