来华留学期间住在哪里，是多数学生最先要解决的问题。中国高校一般会为国际学生提供校内宿舍，学生也可以在符合学校要求的前提下在校外租房。两者在费用、办理手续和日常便利程度上差别不小，选择之前最好先了解清楚相关规定。
- 校内宿舍类型与费用：高校一般设有面向国际学生的宿舍楼，常见为双人间，也有单人间或多人间。教育部相关文件对自费来华留学生住宿费给出过幅度：不带单独卫生盥洗设备和电话、电视的双人间留学生宿舍，每个床位每天住宿费标准为12～32元人民币；单独住一间宿舍时按两个床位标准收费；增加房间设备和改善住宿条件时收费标准可适当提高，但最高不得超过上述普通留学生宿舍收费标准的2.5倍。各校在规定幅度内自行确定实际标准，具体以学校公布为准。
- 校外租房价格：校外租房价格因城市和地段差异较大，一线城市通常明显高于其他城市。租房一般需要签订书面合同、支付押金，并另行承担水电、燃气、网络、物业等费用，签约前要把这些费用问清楚。
- 合同与登记要求：根据《学校招收和培养国际学生管理办法》（教育部、外交部、公安部令第42号）第二十四条，国际学生在学校宿舍外居住的，应当及时到居住地公安部门办理登记手续。租房前应先与学校国际学生管理部门沟通，确认是否允许校外住宿以及需要办理的手续。
- 水电网络：校内宿舍的水电与网络使用方式各校不同，有的包含在住宿费内，有的需要另行充值或缴纳。校外租房的水电、燃气和宽带费用一般由租客承担，签约前要问清计费方式和缴费渠道。
- 安全与门禁：校内宿舍一般设有门禁、访客登记与值班管理，安全性较高，也便于参加学校组织的活动。校外住宿的作息与安全由个人负责，建议选择正规小区，并留意消防与用电安全。
- 建议：新生第一学期建议先住校内宿舍，熟悉环境和办好证件、银行卡、手机号之后再考虑校外租房；无论住在校内还是校外，都要按要求及时完成住宿登记，并保留好合同与缴费凭证。
收费与退费：根据上述第42号令第十四条，高等学校对国际学生的收费项目和标准按照国家有关规定执行，并应当公布收费项目、收费标准以及退学、转学的退费规定；收费、退费以人民币计价。缴费前建议向学校确认退费规则，避免中途退学或转学产生纠纷。
其他相关要求：国际学生入学后须按学校要求投保（第42号令第四十条实行国际学生全员保险制度，未按规定投保的可能影响录取或注册）；持有学习类签证且注明需要办理居留证件的，应自入境之日起三十日内向公安机关出入境管理部门申请办理居留证件。校外居住的学生，还要注意住宿登记信息与居留证件信息保持一致。
常见问题：宿舍一定要住校内吗？不一定，但在校外居住应当符合学校要求，并及时到居住地公安部门办理登记。住宿费怎么交？校内住宿费一般按学期或学年收取，具体以学校通知为准。可以自己找房子吗？可以，但建议先咨询学校国际学生办公室，避免因合同或登记问题影响居留手续。
以上为一般性说明，具体要求与最新规定以官方发布为准。

International Student Housing in China: On-Campus Dorms vs Off-Campus Renting
Where to live during your studies in China is one of the first questions most students face. Chinese universities generally provide on-campus dormitories for international students, and students may also rent off campus provided they meet the school's requirements. The two options differ considerably in cost, procedures and day-to-day convenience, so it is best to understand the rules before deciding.
- Dormitory types and costs: universities generally operate dormitory buildings for international students, commonly with twin rooms and also single or shared rooms. Official documents have set a range for accommodation fees for self-funded international students in China: for a twin international student dormitory room without private bathroom facilities, telephone or television, the accommodation fee standard is 12 to 32 yuan per bed per day; occupying a room alone is charged at the rate of two beds; where room facilities are added and accommodation conditions improved, the fee may be raised appropriately, but by no more than 2.5 times the above standard for ordinary international student dormitories. Each school sets its own actual standard within the prescribed range, so the school's published figures prevail.
- Off-campus rental prices: off-campus rents vary widely by city and location, and first-tier cities are usually noticeably more expensive than others. Renting generally requires a written contract and a deposit, plus separate costs for water, electricity, gas, internet and property management, so clarify these before signing.
- Contracts and registration: under Article 24 of the Measures for the Administration of the Recruitment and Training of International Students (Order No. 42 of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security), international students living outside school dormitories must promptly register with the public security authority at their place of residence. Before renting, talk to the school's international student office to confirm whether off-campus accommodation is permitted and what procedures are required.
- Utilities and internet: how water, electricity and internet are handled in on-campus dormitories varies by school; some are included in the accommodation fee, while others require separate top-ups or payments. In off-campus rentals, water, electricity, gas and broadband costs are usually borne by the tenant, so ask about metering and payment methods before signing.
- Safety and access control: on-campus dormitories generally have access control, visitor registration and duty management, offering a higher level of safety and easier access to school activities. Off-campus residents are personally responsible for their schedule and safety, so choose a legitimate residential compound and pay attention to fire and electrical safety.
- Recommendations: for your first semester, consider living in an on-campus dormitory first, then think about renting off campus after you are familiar with the environment and have arranged your documents, bank card and mobile phone number. Whether you live on or off campus, complete your accommodation registration on time and keep your contract and payment receipts.
Fees and refunds: under Article 14 of Order No. 42, higher education institutions follow relevant national rules for the fee items and standards charged to international students, and must publish those items, standards and the refund rules for withdrawal or transfer; fees and refunds are denominated in RMB. Before paying, confirm the refund rules with your school to avoid disputes if you withdraw or transfer.
Other related requirements: after enrolment, international students must obtain insurance as required by the school (Article 40 of Order No. 42 establishes a system of universal insurance for international students, and failure to obtain insurance as required may affect admission or registration). Those holding a study visa marked as requiring a residence permit must apply for one with the exit-entry administration of the public security authority within 30 days of entry. Students living off campus should also make sure their accommodation registration details match their residence permit.
Frequently asked questions: must I live in an on-campus dormitory? Not necessarily, but living off campus should meet the school's requirements, and you must register promptly with the local public security authority. How are accommodation fees paid? On-campus fees are usually charged by semester or academic year; follow your school's notice. Can I find a place myself? Yes, but consult the school's international student office first so that contract or registration issues do not affect your residence formalities.
The above is general guidance only. For specific requirements and the latest rules, please refer to official announcements.
