Student
Residence Office provides general assistance for CityU students
who are looking for off-campus accommodation. We hope the
following information will help you in searching for the type
of accommodation that is most suitable for you: |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Students who
are not offered a place of on-campus student residences or
prefer living away from campus, they are strongly advised
to arrive in Hong Kong at least two or three weeks before
the semester begins in order to secure off-campus private
accommodation. If students choose to do so, they are reminded
that they have to arrange temporary accommodation on their
own before suitable private accommodation is secured. |

Rent Flat/ Room |
|
|
| |
Rents
of private accommodation in Hong Kong tend to be high. The
rents depend on the district area, quality and size of the
flat/room. Very often, the landlord will only provide basic
fittings such as air-conditioners and kitchen equipments.
Furniture items are usually not provided, though some may
have basic items such as beds and wardrobes.
The most effectivve way of exploring rent
properties is to visit property agents. After locating a suitable
flat, you will need to enter into a tenancy
agreement with the property owner if you decide to rent
a flat. |
