You came to the right place, here in this article we shall discuss some of these points that influence a lot on the living cost and also on the average living cost of studying in china.

 

Here are some of the factors that has a great influence on your living cost, especially while your stay in china.

 

Transportation:

Yes, it sounds like how can such a minor thing has such a great effect on the expenditures if we put it on a monthly chart of expenditures we can easily find that the transportation cost is taking 1/4^th of your monthly expenditure.

In china, the transportation is very cheap as now there are many buses that run entirely on electricity and may require 1 or 2 RMB to travel from one station to the last stop.

The taxi fares are also quite affordable, In the coastal metropolises like Shanghai, Shenzhen or Guangzhou, the price is high.

Buses have different routes that almost covers all over the city, where you can travel easily. The average fare for a taxi starts from 6 to 8 RMB per kilometer.

 

If you are studying in china most of the overseas students tends to buy a vehicle the thing to be hammered into the minds is that the government of china is very strict towards anyone having any kind of illegal approach towards anything while their stay in china, under such circumstances the governement of china has allowed the overseas students to own a E-bike as it does not requires any king of driving liscence and is cheap as well.

 

Utilities:

Another add-up in your expenditures is the daily utlities, which you cant eliminate as well.

Utilities in china are cheap, for the students living in the dormitories the bills like electricity and internet are comparatively very less as compared to the students who live outside the campus premises in the rented apartments.

 

Accommodation:

The accommodation expenditures in the campus premises are not much as compared to the students who live outside the campus. Renting an apartment in china depends upon a number of things such as:

1.  Location

2. City

3. Area of the apartment

4. Community services

5. Furniture included in it.

Averagely speaking an apartment (1 room) will cost you no more than 150 USD per month in the smaller cities of china.

 

The living expenses in cangzhou medical college are believed to be quite affordable as everything is easily available on the door steps in a quite cheap rate.

It is estimated averagely that an overseas student studying in an instituation in china spends almost 1700 RMB to 2300 RMB every month in which he easily manages his expenses like transportation, meals, etc.

However this estimated value may vary from person to person depending on how much facilities you require and the life-style you are living.

Now it has become a universal language and the truth is that your skills and knowledge is sometimes measured with the parameters of your English. Many universities in china are have also set “IELTS” as a necessary requirement just to ensure that the student who is trying to be a part of this university can understand the knowledge he is being delivered with. Mostly IELTS is requested from the students who are applying from NON-NATIVE English speaking country or in other words the students whose mother tongue is not English. There are some exceptions as well, which are as follows:

1.  International student who come from the English speaking countries IELTS Score is not required.

2. International students who apply for Chinese language program IELTS Score is not necessary in Chinese universities.

 

Details of the score:
