Hey guys,

I have a job in Soochow Univ, Suzhou with 3 years contract.  salary - 2000k/year+12k house rent allowance/year. Is it enough to live good life in SIP area? I have to arrange housing myself. Any idea how much is monthly rent for 1 bedroom? I am fine with flat sharing, but not room. I strictly don't wanna stay with a landlord. Moreover, there should be no restriction for guests to visit.

Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Check through the housing section at the top of this page for rent costs.

HelloChina

Thanks, they are quite expensive. :)

Isn't this salary a bit exaggerated? With such a salary you can live like a millionaire!

HelloChina

I'm sorry. Its 200k/year. Could you give me some insight if this amount enough? Thanks

DmitryMainichev

Yeah, people told me 3-4k/month is enough for a very decent place. Personally I live at dorm because it's much more convenient for single person. If my family come I'll rent using these prices as reference.

HelloChina

Thanks a lot.

How much is per month rent for a dorm in SIP area? Is it shared room or single room? It will be great if you could share your experience. For example, 1. how much security deposited​ for a single room? 2. Any restriction for inviting guests? 3. Staying with land lord or independent housing? 

Thanks again.
