I have a family of 3, and we live very comfortably on about 6000RMB a month, it all depends on your lifestyle I guess. If you are going to go out a lot, eat out a lot (especially western food), and go to bars then it will get expensive.

So a student with a modest lifestyle, I would imagine could live off 2000-2500RMB a month.

The biggest factor will be your rent, and where you decide to rent. It is way cheaper in the north of the city, compared to somewhere close to down-town. We rent a 4 bedroom apartment for about 2100/month, for the same price you may only get a shitty studio apartment down-town.

So it depends on whether you want to rent for higher and spend less time travelling to school, or spend way less on rent but spend longer travelling to school.

Useful article, I see you made mention of the bus and metro cards not being interchangeable. It would be great once more info on this is available that the article be updated. I was actually going to ask if the current bus cards could be used with the metro, as there is a picture of the metro on the card.

As a side note, the pictures are great, but on Firefox they cut into the text on the right, obscuring it. i.e. the classifieds and the comments section on the right of the page. Just thought I would mention this.
