校园
生活 校园生活非常方便和安全。大多数中国学生会选择住在校内宿舍，因为它价格合理、设施齐全、环境安全。中国大部分大学为外国学生提供国际学生宿舍。留学生宿舍通常有单人间、双人间和三间宿舍。学生可以选择他们喜欢的。大多数宿舍都配备了必要的设施，包括互联网接入、电视、基本家具、卫生间、电话甚至厨房。北方的大学也在冬天提供暖气。至于收费，还是蛮合理的。但价格从20元/天到100元/天不等，由不同的大学和不同类型的宿舍决定。

大多数大学都会允许外国学生住在校外，但您必须先通知大学并获得大学的许可，然后再进行安排。为了学生的安全，一些学校可能有严格的住宿规定，因此您可能需要通过一些正式的表格才能获得校外住宿的许可。但是，出于安全考虑，有些大学不会允许国际学生住在校外，尤其是当您在大一或未满 18 岁时。您可以通过多种方式获取住房信息；您可以查看一些租房网站， There are certain columns on the local newspaper for renting and you can also find something useful from the billboard on campus. Just be aware that most housing ads you find are posted by agents who may charge an agent fee when you sign the contract (typically one month’s rent) and who may not speak English. The rents also vary a lot according to the location and condition of the apartment. If you want to rent an apartment at a reasonable price, you can turn to a letting agent or you can visit some house renting website. If you need help from SICAS, please email to service@sicas.cn.

As a matter of fact, SICAS offers homestay/Au pair arrangement service for foreign students. The Chinese meaning of Homestay is “Living in a local family”; means foreigners live in typical Chinese families when they are studying, working or travelling in China. In this way, international students are able to know more about Chinese culture, custom and life style. Besides, if you come to China to study Mandarin, to know about the real Chinese Culture, or to do kinds of internship in China, SICAS homestay/Au pair program is the best choice.
