hei ,there , that's cool . but according to objective situation , i think you should

prepare 6000RMB for September. you have better find a suitable hotel in the University. more safe , more quiet. if you want cheap apartment, like 1000/month

that seem to be very hard. beacuse it's too cheap .i think no one would like hire

room to you. beijing is not western city , there is no backpack, or youth hotel.

unless , you will probably meet enthusiastic guys , but acceptting their help , it is not good opt . if me , i will feel unsafe. so. i suggest you should prepare

more money for living . you can travel the whole country ,i don't belive you just

save little bit money for next month. as my mom told me "穷家富路" 嘛．

It'll be tricky to find somewhere for only one month, but not impossible. Have a look at, and place an ad in, thatsbj.com - nobody really looks for one month rentals, but you may find someone who is away for the summer, or just got a new apartment and hasn't found roommates.

There are (contrary to the above) plenty of youth hostels in Beijing now - the budget accomodation options have multiplied in recent years. However, none of them are particularly close to Haidian - all the ones I know of are in the center. You could commute fairly easily though, or negotiate a monthly rate at a Haidian hotel, if you can't find an apartment.

Another option would be a homestay - you'll see adverts on thatsbj.com.
