Student Accommodation: 4 Key Questions
留學(xué)生住宿：4個關(guān)鍵問題
When it comes to studying abroad the best option for student accommodation is to initially arrange a place on a temporary basis. But when you have spent a few weeks – the phase that helps you settle down as an international student – you must immediately try to look for arranging a more permanent home.
As an international student, I think it’s essential to stay in or near busy neighborhoods, as it helps you gain an understanding of the new culture. Along with getting acquainted with your new environment, you must also look into some very crucial factors when finalizing long-term student accommodation.
Here are four questions to ask:
當(dāng)談到出國留學(xué)，學(xué)生住宿的最佳選擇是最初安排在臨時的地方。但待了幾個星期之后 — — 可以幫助你安頓下來的階段，作為一名國際學(xué)生 — — 你必須立即嘗試尋找一個更永久的家。
作為一名國際學(xué)生，我認(rèn)為有必要待在或靠近繁華社區(qū)，它可以幫助你獲得新的文化的理解。隨著你熟悉新的環(huán)境，當(dāng)決定是否長期住宿時，你必須也考慮一些非常關(guān)鍵的因素。
下面是出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)www.liuxue86.com為大家整理的關(guān)于住宿你應(yīng)該問自己的四個問題。
1. What’s your student budget?
This is the one of the most important elements. You have a lot of options when it comes to finalizing your accommodation. You could opt for on-campus student accommodation, take a place in an independent student hostel, find a homestay (living in someone’s home as a paying guest), share a rented house or room, or take an entire apartment yourself on lease.
The choice is all yours and depends largely on your student budget. If you are short on cash or just need to save some money (maybe you’d rather splash out on a new laptop or a car) you might want to think of sharing a room with another like-minded student. If you’d really rather have some personal privacy, you’ll at least want to get a separate room, either in student halls or a privately leased house.

1你的預(yù)算是多少?
這是最重要的要素之一。最后確定你的住宿的時候你有很多的選擇。你可以選擇在校學(xué)生宿舍，一間獨(dú)立的學(xué)生宿舍， 找到寄宿家庭 (在別人家生活，但是付費(fèi))，合租的房子或房間，或自己單獨(dú)租一個公寓。
選擇很大程度上取決于你的預(yù)算。如果你的現(xiàn)金不夠或需要存錢 (也許你寧愿把錢花在一臺新筆記本電腦或一輛車上) ，你可能會想與另一個志同道合的學(xué)生合租。如果你覺得會侵犯到個人的隱私，你至少會想要一個單獨(dú)的房間，無論是在學(xué)生宿舍或私人租賃的房屋。
2. What facilities do you want to be close to?
Make sure to carry out some research to know about the local vicinity. If you are a gym enthusiast you might want to have access to a fitness center or any sports club nearby. Similarly, if you have any particular food preferences try to make sure that the eateries you require are easily available in the market.

2.你想要接近哪些設(shè)施?
請確保你對附近進(jìn)行了一些調(diào)查。如果你是一個健身愛好者，你可能想要靠近一個健身中心或任何體育俱樂部。同樣，如果你有任何特定的食物偏好，請確保你想吃的食材在附近的市場能很容易買到。
3. How are you going to travel?
If you do not have your own vehicle and need to use public transport to get around, you must also consider the distance between your student accommodation and the bus or railway station. If it takes 20-30 minutes to reach the train station, and another 30 or so minutes to reach your destination, you may want to think of some other options.
Again, this depends on your priorities and what works well for you. Some students like to be able to get from bed to lecture in 20 minutes flat, others may find a daily journey is useful thinking and reading time.

3.你怎么出行?
如果你沒有自己的車，需要使用公共交通工具出行，你還必須考慮你的住宿地和公車站或地鐵站之間的距離。如果需要 20-30 分鐘到達(dá)地鐵站，又需要另一個 30 分鐘才能到達(dá)你的目的地，你可能會想做別的選擇了。
再次，這取決于你的優(yōu)先次序和什么樣的東西最適合你。一些學(xué)生喜歡從床上到教室只需20分鐘的宿舍，其他人可能發(fā)現(xiàn)路上的旅程是很好的思考和閱讀的時間。
4. Does it fit in with your student life?
Finally, make sure you get a good balance between the different parts of your student life – study, work, socializing. As a student, you’ll probably find you’re often pushed for time, especially if you have a student job on top of your course work. So try to find a place which is close to either your university or job (or if possible, both). This will save a lot of time and energy that you’ll find much better uses for!
譯文：
4.它符合你的學(xué)生生活嗎?
最后，確保你在學(xué)生生活的不同部分都保持了以個良好的平衡——學(xué)習(xí)、 工作、 社交活動。作為一個學(xué)生，你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)你經(jīng)常被時間推著走，尤其是如果你在課程之外還有一份兼職。所以盡量找一個靠近你的大學(xué)或工作的地方 (或如果可能的話，兩個都靠近)。這將節(jié)省大量的時間和精力。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣才好。
