eion_padraig Posted August 13, 2017 at 05:43 AM Report Posted August 13, 2017 at 05:43 AM You'll have to be careful of the money you spend. For instance, taking taxis and eating/drinking at foreign restaurants/bars would eat into that very quickly. Traveling within China would be tough too. One can buy a plate of noodles/dumplings for 12 - 16 yuan. A bus ride costs 2 - 3 yuan. A subway ride would tend to be 3 to 9 yuan depending on distance. A local beer (Qingdao) would run about 4 - 6 yuan for a big bottle at a convenience store. So you could do it, but you'd want to budget carefully. Quote
New Members jiangwei Posted August 14, 2017 at 02:50 AM New Members Report Posted August 14, 2017 at 02:50 AM 2500 RMB per month is enough.If you want to find some friends who were already in SJTU.You can go to "tieba", In Chinese is "贴吧", many people will offer you help.And I think there are many chances for you to earn a mount of money, like to be a local English teacher, the payment at-least be 150 RMB per hour.

ctan15 Posted August 16, 2017 at 04:58 AM Report Posted August 16, 2017 at 04:58 AM If you're really on a tight budget... ~15 per meal x 3 = 45 ~15 transpo = CNY 60 per day = CNY 1,800 per month. This leaves you with CNY 700 for other expenses. Quote
