Accommodation in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) campus
Dushu Lake Science and Higher Education Innovation District provides accommodations to all students who are studying on SIP campus. The available options for international, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao students are the Parfait International Apartments, Parfait Hotel & Apartments, MBA Apartments, Scholars Apartments and Wenhua Apartments. They are managed privately by the Suzhou Industrial Park Education Development and Investment Limited Company. They are not owned or managed directly by the university, but we communicate with them on your behalf. If you want to live in one of the apartments, we will assist in booking your room once you have paid your deposit to secure your place at 糖心Vlog官方. You can also arrange to rent a private apartment near the university, either alone or with friends. The easiest way to do this is to employ a local accommodation agent, and there are many of these. The standard agent fee for finding you an apartment is 2 weeks’ rent per year, but this usually includes managing your rental agreement, helping with paying bills and setting up services such as television and internet, and helping with any problems that might arise. Please note depending on the length of the tenancy contract, summer camp students pay different rates and deposits. Please refer to the arrangements for summer school arrivals for detailed information.
