1. The Foreign Student Dormitory

There are 3 student dormitories on campus to accommodate foreign students: Building No. 2, the second and third floor of Building No. 7 and Building No. 8.

(Building No. 2)

Accommodation fees can be paid in termly installments. A deposit of RMB 500 Yuan is required upon moving in. Changing rooms and/or moving out amid one semester are not permitted except that such request is made at the end of one semester and students will change rooms in the following semester. In such a case, the next semester’s accommodation fee must be paid in advance. This advance payment, however, is, in principle, not refundable.

Residents should abide by the Dormitory Accommodation Regulations. Please refer any questions, requests, and complaints to the Reception Desk on the first floor. The Reception Desk also takes care of matters such as visitors’ registration, the lodging deposit, room repair/maintenance requests, room-key keeping and room-key loss report. The dormitories offer 24-hour service. The telephone number is 65778206 for Building No. 2, and 65778311 for Building No. 8.

For more details about the dormitories, please consult ISO or visit the school website: /Item/19722.aspx

2. Scholarship Students and Exchange Students

Holders of full scholarship or partial scholarship waiving accommodation fees are arranged to live in double rooms in Section C free of charge.

Request for upgrading to single rooms or changing to other types of rooms should be approved by the Dormitory Management Office and when approved, the applicant should pay for the price differences, if any, that result from such changes.

5. If you pay the accommodation fee in advance, the accommodation fee during the winter and summer vacations can be exempted. The specific policy is subject to the regulations of the International Student Apartment Management Center.

3. Living Off-Campus

International students can live off campus, but they must go through off-campus residence registration procedures:

Present to the local police station the following documents: the passport, the signed leasing contract between you and the landlord, landlord’s House Property Certificate (photocopy), and landlord’s ID (photocopy) to get legally registered for temporary residence and obtain the Registration Form of Temporary Residence.

Useful Tips from ISO

1. Many students may change their address and contact information during their study years at BISU. If this happens, please make sure that you keep ISO posted with your new address, telephone number and e-mail address, for ISO often sends important notices and other information to foreign students, especially in unusual and emergency situations, and also students’ difficulties, if any, can be reported to ISO promptly. It is naturally of vital importance that ISO has the students’ accurate contact information. ISO assures that students’ contact information will be kept confidential.

2. Students living off campus are kindly warned that you must make sure that the housing information is reliable, the landlord has the Leasing Permit recorded in the local police station, and the leasing procedure is complete and legal. It is also advisable that the tenants inform and consult the local residential committee to make sure the whole leasing procedure is complete, legal and reliable.

If you live off campus, please make sure you pay the rent duly, to avoid unnecessary trouble or legal disputes.
