Personal spending habits
Everything in China is much cheaper, the only thing I spent more on is the phone and thats just because I was making international calls which I dont do at home. Housing was the same as home because I paid my home university directly the same amount it would cost for one semester.

Personal spending habits

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.
