ketrep Posted November 28, 2007 at 12:47 PM Report Posted November 28, 2007 at 12:47 PM Hi, I'm in Beijing but will be going to BNU in spring of 2008. Looking at housing I already missed the nicer international dorms. Any advice on whether it's better/cheaper to go off campus? Thanks! Quote

No3 is expensive, but as you can't stay there anyway, the other dorms won't cost much more, if anything, than renting a decent studio. If you want to share with someone then yes, renting your own place would work out a bit cheaper. You'll need to fight to get a short let though. If you want to stay two semesters then dorms might be a very bad idea. You'll get thrown out over the summer and, at a guess, private rooms will be hard to find. Quote
