Insurance for foreigners to study in China is one of the mandatory documents for most Chinese schools. Insurance costs RMB 400 for a semester, while a year will cost RMB 800. You may want to know how to buy the insurance. >>>
Dental treatment is not expensive in China. It costs between RMB 100-200 per treatment session. Many things are more affordable in China - hairdressing, taxi, watching movies, and hot springs are all much cheaper than in other countries.
Travel cost depends on your personal travel plans; Where you stay and whether you fly or take the train. You can visit some of China's travel websites to plan your trip, where you can estimate travel expenses. Major travel sites with English versions include www.ctrip.com and www.elong.com
Normally, students' dining hall is the most economical place to eat. The Chinese Government and the Ministry of Education provide students with food subsidies, so the cost is relatively cheap. But don't eat all of your meals on campus - make sure you take the opportunity to try some authentic Chinese food at a local restaurant. You will find that restaurants in China are reasonably priced, and will usually be clustered just outside the gate of your university.
Internet access is provided in student dorms. It usually costs less than RMB 100 monthly. Off-campus, internet cafes abound, and wireless internet is available in most cafes and some restaurants.
The cost of local calls is not expensive, and getting a local phone number is as easy as buying a SIM card at a corner shop. On the other hand, international calls can be quite expensive. We recommend students use an IP telephone service to contact family or friends, such as SKYPE.
Book prices in China are considered the cheapest in the world. You can go to a physical bookstore to buy books, though buying books online is usually cheaper and just as convenient. China's leading book websites are: www.dangdang.com, www.amzon.cn.
