foreign student cost of living in hong kong?
I'm planning to study in Hong Kong for one semester, but I want to know what is the average cost of living (monthly) of living in Hong Kong. That should include rent, electricity and services, food, etc. Anyone that has been studying in HK as exchange student, please tell me how much did you spent per month...??

On the average it shouild cost you HK $ 3500-4500 per month, thats the barest minimum living cost including rent, electricity and services, food.

The living cost here is quite high, I would say the minimum would be HK$8,000.00 to play safe for if you're sick and needed to have some medical treatment (around HK$300 for each private doctor consultation)! Average rent for a short term studio about 120 sq ft to 300 sqft in city near MTR stations or in New Territories would be from HK$4,000 up (includes management fee), if you decided to live in New Territories then you have to allow an extra HK$500 to 600 for transportation fee. Average transportation fee for student (half price) would be around HK$500 each month depends on the distance between your home and school or your activities rings. Electricity, food, mobile phone, gas,... etc would cost you at least HK$3,000 (say HK$100 each day, say HK$70 for 3 meals (home cooking for dinners and weekends), electricity bill - HK$300 per month, mobile phone HK$180 per month + other daily expenses - shower gel, shampoo, soap, etc.) If you want to have some social activities, you need at least HK$10,000.00 for each month to have dinners with friends once a week or go clubbing .. having coffee in Starbucks...etc. (a tall cup of coffee is about HK$25.00, I forget, a small cup of Haagen-Daz ice-cream is HK$29.50, Madonald's happy meal is around HK$21.00)

Where can I access information on the lifestyle of an international student in Hong Kong, average costs etc???
I am considering studying in Hong Kong and am looking to find some information regarding the cost of living. Having found that some unis there offer very reasonably priced accommodation, I was wondering whether it is a good choice to make or whether other costs will see me living in my own filth.

University accommodation in Hong Kong's very decent. Comfortable, and you'd also get to make friends with other students. I have friends who are currently studying at the Chinese University and Hong Kong University, and they both love living in the university halls. Uni accommodation in Hong Kong's very convenient too, unlike some in, for example, London, where they make you live in the sticks and travelling to school takes an hour. Most should be within walking distance to campus, and are close to public transport too. About private accommodation, renting's relatively expensive in Hong Kong, so unless you find a flatshare (which are a little difficult to find), or you live really far from the city, you'd be much better off living on campus, as you'd be saving money on rent/transport/food. Regarding costs for uni accommodation, some halls are all inclusive, bills-wise, but some might require you to put in a dollar or something every day for the aircon etc. It'd still be cheaper than if you rent outside though! Hope this helps.
