Accommodation
Upon acceptance into the program, students will receive a room application form along with their admission documents. In order to apply for accommodation on-campus, students should follow the instructions provided on the form. Due to high demand and limited resources, room allocation is based on a “first come, first served” principle. Therefore, international students who plan to live on-campus are advised to apply for their room as soon as they receive their admission package.
The Renmin University of China provides two types of dormitory rooms to the international students:
Included in each room are bedclothes, air-conditioner, telephone, Internet access, and furniture.
Pictures of the dorms can be found here.
