The applicants should apply for the accommodation. In China, dormitories for foreign students are generally built with free facilities in the university. As the types of dorms are various, prices of dorms are much different. And applying for accommodation ahead of time is a must. If you want to live with your families in China, you should let the university know, or you will deal with it on your own. If foreign students are allowed to live out of the university, all should be registered at the local police office in 24 hours. GZNU is equipped with an apartment for overseas students. Every student in this apartment could have a small single room with a bed (pillows, sheets, blankets, etc.), a closet, a desk, a chair, 2 lamps, the internet, a private bathroom (water heater, hot water is available 24 hours/day) and shared facilities (shared kitchen and washing place) with other students on the same floor of residence. The accommodation prices range from RMB800 to RMB1000, which depends on whether you want an air conditioner in your room or not.
