International Student Housing in Shanghai | Campus-by-Campus Guide
A new semester often creates a short housing window. Start with the campus and the route you will repeat, then compare furnished serviced apartments, Budget Studios and regular rentals by budget, room use and minimum stay. These pages are housing comparisons; confirm the university campus, enrolment arrangements and current room before booking.
Start with the university campus
Confirm the campus first, then compare lease length, budget, metro route and room use.
What to confirm before booking
Confirm the university campus, arrival date, minimum stay, deposit and payment terms, utilities, foreign-tenant registration documents and whether the exact room can be booked. A one-month project minimum does not mean every room accepts a short stay; three-month and annual options also need early-termination and renewal checks.
If your budget or campus route is still open, use the AI rental assistant with your university, room type, budget, lease length and daily route so the current inventory can be narrowed down.
