Studying in Shanghai, Shanghai University Living
Living on Campus
It is a great way to meet other foreign students. It can be very inexpensive if you are willing to share your room and privacy. However, it is not that cheap and comfortable if you take a single room. Prices also usually vary whether you are short or long term student.
Here is a general example:
Standard Shared Double Room
RMB￥45/day/person (approx.US$6)for long-term student,
RMB￥80 (approx.US$10) for short-term student.
Single Room
RMB￥70/day (approx.US$9) for long-term student,
RMB￥120/day (approx.US$15) for short-term student.
Each room is usually equipped with colour TV, direct-dial telephone, air conditioner and sometimes internet connection. Additional facilities include bath, kitchen, and fridge for public use.
TIP : Living on campus amongst other foreign and chinese students can be a very interesting experience. However, you should carefully calculate your budget: it can be cheaper and more comfortable for you to rent a place with some friends and share the rent. Usually, shared rooms are quiet small and bathrooms are common for each floor.
Obviously the biggest, and probably the best university to study at: with nice living conditions, and a several different programs. The biggest drawback is that the campus is located about 40 minutes north of Shanghai. But of course, the students create their own social life in the area.
This university is well-kept, and well-funded. Its location is ideal, minutes from the booming shopping center of Xujiahui.

Another in the northern university ghetto. Apart from the usual Chinese language classes, they have an undergraduate course aimed specifically at foreign students which combines Chinese language and trade and economics.

Its location is not very convenient, located very south of Shanghai. Like a lot of the university courses, in the after noon they offer Taichi, Erhu and calligraphy classes.
Actually less well-known than the name would lead you to believe, and situated way out west, pretty far from anything. The school is home to Shanghai's only Fine Arts Institute, but it is way out in the new campus (huge open spaces and buildings that have a kind of hospital atmosphere).
For those keen to study politics and law in Chinese, this place has some excellent courses, but you'll need to discuss it with them personally. They also offer a summer course to certain American law schools, in English, attended by Harvard and Yale students.
