Living in Wuhan (hubei)

[IChig]

I will be applying to Wuhan University and I would like to know how much would be sufficient to live in Wuhan per month to live at a basic standard of living.

 

I have looked at some old topics and made this calculations:

 

Monthly expenxes

 

298 dollars (tuition)

 

146 dollars (accomodation at wuhan University)

 

other expenses + food

488 dollars

(3000 RMB)

 

 

Is there anything else that I should consider and is the "other expenses and food" amount sufficient to live per month?

I found this post from two years ago:

The following is the living cost just for survival in Wuhan, you have to make upward adjustment to the food cost of whatever is listed below.  Suggestions: buy clothes/shoes from U.S. (if you are from here) and bring to China even if they're made in China, clothes/shoes of any quality/brand name are much more expensive there. Also buy and bring lotions/toothpaste etc from U.S. for better quality. 

 

武汉市生活成本计算： 

一. 食行：每天过早：3.5元、午饭:6元、晚饭：8元、公交车 4元。
说每月按30天算 （3.5+6+8+4）X30=645元 
二. 房租：350 元(水费1吨2.5元，按每月10元估，电费按每月50元估计)
合计： 410元 
电话费：50元 　　 
理发每月一次，每次15元。合计:15元 　　 
牙膏 洗水 洗衣粉 香皂 袜子等生活必需品 每月50元 　　 
总计：410+50+15+50 =525元(这只是最基本的生活需要) 　　 
三. 如果你要有上网的爱好 月:50元 　 
你是男生：烟民就10块的档次两天一包 月:150元 　　 
你是女生：洗面奶、护肤品等 月:50元 　
　50+150+50=250元 
总计: 645+525+250=1420元

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the answer.

 

i found a average amount at the CUCAS website, but I didn´t know if the amount was just for cost of living since the numbers are near to yours, they must be for cost of living.
