China is generally cheaper than the United States so most everything cost less comparatively. I spent more on Nightlife and travel due to adventures with friends and taxi/flight expenses.

Personal comments
I bought a cell phone and also used credits for Skype in order to communicate with friends and family. We purchased a router for internet in our dorm. Dorms come fully furnished so no need to buy/bring anything. Check with your banks to see which Chinese banks they are affiliated with so you can save transaction costs. You can also open an HSBC account and avoid any complications that way.

Personal spending habits
The food on campus is very cheap, and at work is for free. The telephone is the same, because i have to buy the cards so i know how much im expending. The housing is free due to my scholarship. The nightlife in Beijing could be sometimes expensive, well actually is more expensive than in my country. Traveling i spent more money because in everyplace I do a lot of tourism.
