Q: Finding Accommodation in Urumqi

My partner and I are both 27 year old language students in Urumqi. We are both from England.

We are looking for accommodation in the city within a reasonable commuting distance of Xingjiang University.

We are interested in flat shares or renting apartments.

If you or anyone you know has something that might be suitable please do get in touch. As we don't speak Chinese (yet!) we will struggle with letting agents.

Many Thanks

Hi - What's your budget? It's quite hard to find accommodation in Urumqi because of the difficulty in registering at police stations, you can't stay on campus? When do u need the place by?

I live in Urumqi too.

Hi,

we can't stay on campus because only I am at the university, not my boyfriend. We could spend a maximum of 2,000 per month but have been looking mostly at flats 1300-1500. We would be happy renting a room in someone else's place.

The problem is partly the length of time because we are not able to commit to a whole year as we'll probably be moving on some time early next year.

Cheers

oh and re: when we need a place by - as soon as humanly possible! We are living in a youth hostel at the moment and we are gagging to have a place to cook and have our own space!

Q: Response time taken?

A: Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in t

A:Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in two ways: 1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...'; or 2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!' It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese advertisers of a new job openings, 'cause Chinese don't behave same as western recruiters by replying: "Thank you for your job application. Unfortunately, you weren't selected at this time. We'll keep your CV on record and if new opportunity arises..." or something in those lines. So, the only remaining choice is no. 2. Looking for the new (non-native E.T.) position in my time in China was like a daily part-time job. Good luck! -- icnif77
