Student Accommodation: 4 Key Questions
留学生住宿：4个关键问题
When it comes to studying abroad the best option for student accommodation is to initially arrange a place on a temporary basis. But when you have spent a few weeks – the phase that helps you settle down as an international student – you must immediately try to look for arranging a more permanent home.
As an international student, I think it’s essential to stay in or near busy neighborhoods, as it helps you gain an understanding of the new culture. Along with getting acquainted with your new environment, you must also look into some very crucial factors when finalizing long-term student accommodation.
Here are four questions to ask:
当谈到出国留学，学生住宿的最佳选择是最初安排在临时的地方。但待了几个星期之后 — — 可以帮助你安顿下来的阶段，作为一名国际学生 — — 你必须立即尝试寻找一个更永久的家。
作为一名国际学生，我认为有必要待在或靠近繁华社区，它可以帮助你获得新的文化的理解。随着你熟悉新的环境，当决定是否长期住宿时，你必须也考虑一些非常关键的因素。
下面是留学群m.liuxuequn.com为大家整理的关于住宿你应该问自己的四个问题。
1. What’s your student budget?
This is the one of the most important elements. You have a lot of options when it comes to finalizing your accommodation. You could opt for on-campus student accommodation, take a place in an independent student hostel, find a homestay (living in someone’s home as a paying guest), share a rented house or room, or take an entire apartment yourself on lease.
The choice is all yours and depends largely on your student budget. If you are short on cash or just need to save some money (maybe you’d rather splash out on a new laptop or a car) you might want to think of sharing a room with another like-minded student. If you’d really rather have some personal privacy, you’ll at least want to get a separate room, either in student halls or a privately leased house.

1你的预算是多少?
这是最重要的要素之一。最后确定你的住宿的时候你有很多的选择。你可以选择在校学生宿舍，一间独立的学生宿舍， 找到寄宿家庭 (在别人家生活，但是付费)，合租的房子或房间，或自己单独租一个公寓。
选择很大程度上取决于你的预算。如果你的现金不够或需要存钱 (也许你宁愿把钱花在一台新笔记本电脑或一辆车上) ，你可能会想与另一个志同道合的学生合租。如果你觉得会侵犯到个人的隐私，你至少会想要一个单独的房间，无论是在学生宿舍或私人租赁的房屋。
2. What facilities do you want to be close to?
Make sure to carry out some research to know about the local vicinity. If you are a gym enthusiast you might want to have access to a fitness center or any sports club nearby. Similarly, if you have any particular food preferences try to make sure that the eateries you require are easily available in the market.

2.你想要接近哪些设施?
请确保你对附近进行了一些调查。如果你是一个健身爱好者，你可能想要靠近一个健身中心或任何体育俱乐部。同样，如果你有任何特定的食物偏好，请确保你想吃的食材在附近的市场能很容易买到。
3. How are you going to travel?
If you do not have your own vehicle and need to use public transport to get around, you must also consider the distance between your student accommodation and the bus or railway station. If it takes 20-30 minutes to reach the train station, and another 30 or so minutes to reach your destination, you may want to think of some other options.
Again, this depends on your priorities and what works well for you. Some students like to be able to get from bed to lecture in 20 minutes flat, others may find a daily journey is useful thinking and reading time.

3.你怎么出行?
如果你没有自己的车，需要使用公共交通工具出行，你还必须考虑你的住宿地和公车站或地铁站之间的距离。如果需要 20-30 分钟到达地铁站，又需要另一个 30 分钟才能到达你的目的地，你可能会想做别的选择了。
再次，这取决于你的优先次序和什么样的东西最适合你。一些学生喜欢从床上到教室只需20分钟的宿舍，其他人可能发现路上的旅程是很好的思考和阅读的时间。
4. Does it fit in with your student life?
Finally, make sure you get a good balance between the different parts of your student life – study, work, socializing. As a student, you’ll probably find you’re often pushed for time, especially if you have a student job on top of your course work. So try to find a place which is close to either your university or job (or if possible, both). This will save a lot of time and energy that you’ll find much better uses for!

4.它符合你的学生生活吗?
最后，确保你在学生生活的不同部分都保持了以个良好的平衡——学习、 工作、 社交活动。作为一个学生，你可能会发现你经常被时间推着走，尤其是如果你在课程之外还有一份兼职。所以尽量找一个靠近你的大学或工作的地方 (或如果可能的话，两个都靠近)。这将节省大量的时间和精力。你会发现这样才好。
