On campus accommodation vs. off campus accommodation

Have you got your admission letter and jw202 form from Chinese University?


Are you considering on campus accommodation or off campus accommodation?


In China, university dormitories mainly range from one to four people, with some suites mainly consisting of double rooms. Most of them have independent bathrooms, but there is no separate kitchen, and the washing machine is for public use.


The supporting facilities of off campus apartments are better than those of school dormitories. Most apartments are equipped with indoor independent washing machines, televisions, and no shared laundry room or kitchen is required.



Today, we will provide a comprehensive comparison from multiple dimensions to provide guidance for your future accommodation.



NO1. Compare from position


In most cases, apartments for off campus accommodation can be accommodated anywhere you want. The outside of the school is usually a residential area, and there are many available housing options

In terms of location, some off campus apartments are even close to the distance from the on campus dormitory to the classroom.




NO2. Residential Area Comparison


Most schools have double rooms for on campus accommodation, with an average area of approximately 5-8 square meters per person.

The area of off campus apartments is almost between 60 and 120 square meters, and the average per capita area can range from 20 to 60 square meters. In addition to the larger area, it also brings more personal privacy and space than the dormitory




03 Community Safety Comparison


Each apartment in the school has a dedicated apartment administrator, and there is also access control on the first floor to prevent people from entering and leaving at will. There will also be 24-hour security patrols on campus.


Every community in China also has guards and security guards on patrol. China is also one of the safest countries in the world. Both on campus and off campus accommodation are very safe




04. Price comparison


Off campus accommodation in Beijing and Shanghai may be more expensive. But in most cities in China, the cost of off campus accommodation is similar to that of on campus accommodation, and may be cheaper. Let`s take shenyang city as example.


On campus accommodation, double room is 8000RMB per year,  off Campus, if two students share one apartment  with single room, each one only need to pay 6000RMB per year.
