Final comments
Plan all trips ahead of time, especially where you will be going when you get to your destination, as in: the sites you want to see at your destination, etc.
Be friendly with the locals, most of them will love to talk to you in either English (if they know it they will want to practice it) or Chinese.

Personal spending habits
Actually, life in Beijing is much less expensive than what you are used to. You can go to restaurants and pay less than 5 euros for a fantastic meal. But as everything is so cheap, you spend more than at home (but for more things and outings).

Personal comments
Be aware of your banking system, and make sure it really works in China. The easiest thing to do is to open a bank account in China if you do not have an international card.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Hard to find an apartment when you do not speak Chinese, but when you manage to find one anyway, you pay much less than on the campus and you have more room and facilities.

Personal comments
The apartment I found was in a middle-class district just next to the university. It had a lot of room and was typically chinese, but still accomodating.
