Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
As student accomodation is totally overpriced, I strongly recommend taking an apartment outside campus.

Personal comments
For the first 3 month,I lived on campus;generally spoken the rooms were not that bad,however as mentioned above,far to expensive for Chinese living standards, therefore it's better living off campus enjoying better housing at almost the same price.

www.smartshanghai.com is good to find popular sites in the beginning!
My recommendation if you have enough of fancy places after a while:
Go to "Logo", if you like small, dark clubs with wonderful combination of life music and minimal house.

Had to pay 3 months in advance; a nice apartment outside would have been the same.

A very good way to get contacts. But the advance paying is quite a burden if you only stay one semester.

it's pretty difficult to communicate when your not fluent at all. But with the time, and with patience, everythings get better, people take the time to listen to you.
