STUDENT LIVING COSTS IN MALAYSIA
Modern, robust and ever-growing, Malaysian cities attract an increasing amount of international visitors each year. Hosting about 70,000 international students from over 100 countries, one of the main drawcards of studying in Malaysia is no doubt the low cost of living. The Malaysian Ringgit is valued relatively low, but is almost too easy to spend at once. Our breakdown of living costs in Malaysia will help you plan your study abroad budget.

随着马来西亚经济持续稳定的增长，和现代化程度的增加，马来西亚城市每一年都吸引着日益多的国际访问者。接待了来自全世界100多个国家的70,000名国际学生，在马来西亚留学的一个主要的优势在于低廉的生活消费水准。马来西亚林吉特的价值相对比较低，很有可能一次性就花光。

Universities normally offer on-campus accommodation for international students that can range from as little as RM600-RM3000 per semester. Some universities offer rental deals that include meals for about RM10-RM20 extra per day. Whilst prices vary across cities, specific institutions and room types, for a basic on-campus single bedroom, you’d be likely to pay between RM100-RM500 per month. You would also be likely to pay a deposit at the start of your let, whilst some universities also charge a processing fee. For example, Monash University Malaysia offers single rooms in residence halls at RM1150 per month including facilities, plus a RM 1500 deposit and one-off RM300 processing fee.
If you’d rather live away from the bustle of campus life, you can also search for off-campus housing through your university or rent a private or shared property privately. Whilst these are generally cheaper options, the price of utilities is not always included in the rent of off-campus housing, and is usually paid in addition to rental costs of privately rented accommodation. Access to shared facilities such as a kitchen and laundry also varies from property to property, so it is worth checking and then weighing up the relative costs of what you’re actually getting. You can expect a bedroom in an off-campus shared flat to be around RM350-RM500 per month, and an off-campus studio flat to cost about RM1500-RM2500 per month.
Essential living costs in Malaysia are inescapable, but they are also quite low. Here is an idea of what you’d be looking at paying:
Utilities , monthly ...RM164.90
Internet, 6MB, monthly... RM145
Basic prepaid phone plan, 6GB data...RM148
马来西亚大学多数情况下会向国际学生提供校内宿舍住宿，每一个学期的开销约是RM600-RM3000。某些大学提供的租住协议中涉及每天RM10-RM20的额外餐费。
马来西亚留学的费用与预算
不同城市、院校以及房间类型都会影响到住宿的开销标准，一间总体的校内单人卧室的收费约是每一个月RM100-RM500。你在第一次入住的时候可能需要支付一定额度的押金，同时若干院校还收取手续费。例如，莫那什大学马来西亚分校在学生宿舍提供的单人宿舍，每一个月的开销是RM1150，包含RM 1500的押金和一次性的RM300手续开销。
你想要远离喧闹嘈杂的校园生活的话，你也能够通过你所在的大学寻找校外住宿的机会，或是租住一个私人或合租宿舍。这也是一个比较便宜的住宿选择，不过水电花费并不总是涉及在校外住宿的租金里面的，通常是在私人租住宿舍租金之外，单独支付该花费。
针对公用设施的开销，例如厨房和洗衣房的花费一般各不一致，因此熟悉然后权衡好你在这些方面的实际有关花费是很有必要的。在一套合租公寓里面租住一个卧室的花费约是每个月RM350-RM500，一套校外公寓套房每一个月的开销约是RM1500-RM2500。
