Students are housed in the International Student Dorm on the university's downtown campus. Each Alliance student will live in comfortable double rooms with a Chinese roommate. Every room has a balcony overlooking the campus.
Many students eat in the new cafeteria on campus. Meals are inexpensive (about $1 per meal). Many students also eat in local restaurants, especially those on the street adjacent to the campus. Students should budget $5 per day for meals, which will allow them to eat some meals off campus at local restaurants if desired. There is also a kitchen in the dormitory.
