hi , I'm goin to apply to chineses language program at SISU from upcoming sep. I'd like to find shared flat nearby school instead of dorm.
I'm considering longterm staying in shanghai about 1yr.
Any good place feel as home?

best regards,

chris

SISU is out there in SongJiang, isn't it? Best bet is to get a cheap room in a hotel in the area and walk around with someone who speaks chinese looking at the local real estate shops that every area has. They post their open places in the window many times.

Also check http://cityspace.shanghaiexpat.com. People looking for shares often post there as well as rentals.
