Comments - Taking the plunge, applying in China!
Good luck Rin I hope you find something good
Most schools in China will give you an allowance if you choose not to live in the teachers house, so Don't worry if you have to find somewhere on your own, the school or schools will probably help with finding and negotiating a deal for you! Depending on where you teach you can find accommodation that is quite nice for around 1500RMB anything much less than that will likely be small and not so well kept but there are deals out there! As a guide the EF I will be teaching at offer an allowance of 1200RMB in the first year for non-teacher house accommodation and 1800RMB in the second year. If you both have an allowance like that you will be laughing! Good luck with the applications - I don't have a degree either so maybe try emailing Robyn at Start Consulting chinateachonline@yahoo.com.cn - Keep us updated!
