as a "net celebrity city", changsha is not only synonymous with delicious food and beautiful scenery. as a cultural city with 58 universities, it is also a popular battlefield for the "college students' living expenses challenge".

with the arrival of the new semester, "how much is the monthly living expense for studying in changsha?" this question has become a concern in the minds of many freshmen and their parents.

in this regard, xiaoxiang morning news reporters interviewed a number of students studying at major universities in changsha to learn about their living expenses and university life patterns.

be thrifty and start the “financial expert” mode

on the campus of changsha university of science and technology, yang, a freshman majoring in civil engineering, demonstrated the true meaning of "thrifty budgeting" with his practical actions. faced with a monthly living expense of 1,500 yuan, he not only planned it in an orderly manner, but also won an 800 yuan bonus by participating in the "songhu cup" competition, adding a lot of confidence to his "small treasury".

student yang told the xiaoxiang morning news reporter that on weekdays, he would plan his expenses in detail: 30 yuan for food per day, 900 yuan a month; water and electricity bills are about 50 yuan; the budget for occasional outings is 100 yuan; if he wants to live a more comfortable life, he can add another 100 yuan for shopping or entertainment.

"as long as i don't fall in love, 1,150 yuan is enough, and i can even have an extra 350 yuan for my own use." yang told the reporter of xiaoxiang morning news, "the remaining money and the prize money are more than enough, and i can also consider working to earn some extra money!"

with 1,500 yuan, you can also gain the "little happiness" of life

at central south university, xiaoxiang morning news reporters found a more common life picture. many students told reporters that their living expenses were around 2,000 yuan, and the school also provided part-time jobs, with an hourly subsidy of 19 yuan and a monthly maximum working time of 40 hours, which is not onlyit ensures study time and reduces the financial burden.

yuan is currently a sophomore majoring in preventive medicine at central south university. he told the reporter from xiaoxiang morning news that he has a basic living allowance of 1,500 yuan per month and a work-study subsidy of about 150 yuan, which not only allows him to be self-sufficient, but also has a slight surplus.

from exploring the food in houhu community on the south campus to being a regular in the canteen of the xiangya new campus, yuan's life is full of simple but real happiness. he rides a bicycle around the campus, visits the provincial museum with friends on weekends, and occasionally buys some fruits for himself, enjoying a plain but fulfilling university life.

part-time job expert, "invite" yourself to travel and watch concerts!

wang, a student from changsha university's malanshan new media college, is an absolute "part-time expert". although her family provides her with 1,800 yuan of living expenses every month, which is enough for her daily life, she is not satisfied with it. she told the reporter of xiaoxiang morning news: "i like to realize my childhood dreams through my own efforts, so i will use my spare time to do part-time jobs." wang said that 1,800 yuan is more than enough for her daily life, but part-time jobs not only bring her extra income, but also let her learn independence and tenacity. "inviting" herself to travel, chase stars and watch concerts makes her university full of a sense of accomplishment.

"petty bourgeois" living expenses, spending "super high cost performance"

huang is from the school of economics and management of changsha university. she enjoys 3,000 yuan of living expenses from her family every month and the extra "benefits" of taobao family payment. she also generously told the reporter of xiaoxiang morning news: "i only need half of it for my basic life. i always have some surplus from my living expenses every month, which i save to explore the world!"

student huang told the reporter from xiaoxiang morning news that she has her own "philosophy of life": she enjoys affordable and delicious meals in the school cafeteria on weekdays, and occasionally goes a little "bourgeois" on weekends, shuttling between shopping malls and tasting all kinds of food; when holidays come, she goes on a "special forces" trip at any time, spending her living expenses in a "super cost-effective" way.

in short, whether you can live comfortably with 1,500 yuan of living expenses in changsha depends on your personal consumption concept and money-saving skills. as long as you plan reasonably, calculate carefully, and dare to try part-time jobs and other ways to increase income, every college student can shine in changsha, a vibrant land.

the event is hosted by xiaoxiang morning news, new xiang review magazine of the hunan provincial committee of the communist party of china, xiangjiang new district media center, and daxiang.com, co-organized by guangzhou railway group changsha south station, hunan tianwen metro media, and hunan airport culture and technology co., ltd., and sponsored by bawangsi spicy strips, and supported by cha yan yue se and yihetang.
