Students overseas like to share housing

Beijing and Shanghai are among the top sources of Chinese students studying overseas, and the students prefer two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments over other accommodations, according to a report released on Monday.

In the United States, such apartments are the top choice of Chinese students between 18 and 26 years of age, as they tend to share with their fellow students, according to the 2016 Overseas Student Accommodation Report.

The report was released by student.com, a global platform for students seeking housing overseas. It covers student housing prices in the UK, the US and Australia, and was based on the average listed price for properties on the student.com website.
