Living expenses for studying in Malaysia

If you add the cost of living in the school dormitory, daily food expenses and other expenses, it is estimated that the annual tuition and living expenses (including board and lodging) for undergraduate (bachelor's degree) in Malaysia are about RMB 60,000, and the annual tuition and living expenses (including board and lodging) for graduate (master's degree) are about RMB 70,000. Compared with the cost of studying similar courses in the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, students can save 50%-70% of the cost of studying abroad. In this way, the "cost-effectiveness" of studying in Malaysia is quite high. In addition, since the Malaysian government also provides scholarships for outstanding students from developing countries every year, the cost-effectiveness of studying abroad is relatively reasonable, and it has become one of the important countries for working-class families to study abroad.

The overall living expenses of each student average between RMB 700 and 1,000 per month. The overall living expenses depend on the state and lifestyle of the student.

Among them, accommodation costs: if you live in the school dormitory, it is generally 290-760 Malaysian ringgits per month, if you rent a house off campus, it is generally 250-600 Malaysian ringgits per month (most colleges do not have their own student dormitories, and students must rent a house off campus). Those who live off campus can choose to live in the area near the college and walk to the college. In order to facilitate students who live far away, some colleges even provide regular student bus pick-up services. In addition, students can also take public transportation such as buses, taxis, feeder buses, electric trains and light rail to the college.

Meal expenses: Lunch and dinner are generally 4.5-6.5 Malaysian ringgits, and breakfast is 1-2 Malaysian ringgits. It will be cheaper if you cook by yourself. The cost of living in Malaysia is not very high. Generally, the price is twice that of China, but many commodities are cheaper than China, and the cost of dining out will be the same as that of major cities in China or even lower.
