Hostel facilities, Indian food availability, campus safety, and accommodation options at Xiamen University.
Hostel arrangements and costs vary by room type and academic year. Confirm current availability and fees directly with Xiamen University before making any payments.
Accommodation overview
Current references are Siming twin rooms CNY 35–65/person/day, Xiang’an twin or quadruple rooms CNY 1,200–4,000/person/academic year, and Zhangzhou quadruple rooms CNY 1,100–1,200/person/academic year. Electricity, water and student-paid Internet are additional as stated. Housing is limited and prioritises scholarships covering accommodation. Confirm the actual room and booking period; students unable to secure campus housing arrange accommodation before arrival. Campus housing normally ends on 31 July of the academic year.
Food & daily living
The current guide gives a food-budget reference of approximately CNY 1,000–1,500 per month. Treat this as a planning estimate and confirm dining choices and specific dietary needs at the assigned campus. The published tuition and room tariffs do not establish an included meal plan or universal access to particular food preparation facilities.
Campus & lifestyle
The university has distinct mainland study locations. Programme catalogues identify the actual campus and academic unit, while international student services support arrival and everyday administration. The ICI design programmes are based at Zhangzhou; marine and environmental routes include Xiang’an assignments. The dated Furong Lake and Jiageng cover depicts Siming Campus rather than a universal programme location.
Safety & student support
International students must purchase medical insurance, with the current annual reference CNY 800. Applications include the prescribed health examination and recent police or permitted school-conduct evidence. Confirm coverage, arrival procedures and any further health checks in the enrolment instructions, and follow the university’s official fee-payment guidance. The Admissions Office handles new international enrolment and scholarship assessment. The Overseas Students Affairs Office supports registration and student administration, including housing and insurance enquiries; academic units handle programme-specific teaching matters. Students Traffic can help compare public information and prepare questions for the official process, while the university determines admission and allocation.
