inv Posted September 17, 2025 at 08:11 PM Report Posted September 17, 2025 at 08:11 PM hi, for summer 2026, I plan to go to this university for summer camp. This will be 5 weeks and tuition fee seems 6.000 rmb. and can someone give me some info regarding accomodation option? I wonder whether it would be logic to rent a home or a hotel room for sure, there will be option to prefer in dormitory but I am not sure about the conditions. one very important issue is that I do not want to eat Non halal foods. And I wonder whether I would be able to find suitable & halal foods, therefore if possible I will be willing to remain at somewhere where I could cook meals myself. but as said not sure whether renting for 5 weeks would be possible or logical. Thank you Quote

I used to live near Donghua University in Shanghai for several years. The university I'm thinking about is located in Changning District, although it has another campus in Songjiang District. Personally, I suggest you consider about booking a hotel room nearby. Because the area near Donghua University is a very prosperous place, for example, the headquater of Temu is nearby. The rent for a home is very expensive there, it's over 4,000 rmb for a small room (around 40 square meters ) or 2,000 rmb for even smaller ones (round 10 square meters). And it's not easy for people to find a room for short rent. Booking a hotel room is more cost-effective than a short-term rental I believe. My suggestion is when you don't consider living in the school dormitory. I'm not sure if the university's dorm will satisfy you or not. hhh. Regarding halal foods, you could find restaurants nearby or order from online food delivery platform like 'Meituan', as the Uygur ethnic group operates restaurants there. I think you may need a translation tool in order to communicate or you can ask your classmates for accompany or for help. Best regards Tinker Quote

Noam Posted September 30, 2025 at 01:30 AM Report Posted September 30, 2025 at 01:30 AM Renting an apartment is the best option for your 5-week stay. Dorms are cheaper but less practical due to basic kitchen facilities and limited halal dining on-campus. Quote
