One of the most frequently discussed topics on BLCU is book a room. This is possibly one of the most important steps in simply register BLCU because if you ran out of room, you are looking for other places to stay and only you can do this, when you get there. It is much better in advance know that you have a room to stay once you arrive in Beijing. It can also help you the total cost for your dorm before the time charge.
The steps that you are currently reading are for dormitories under the housing Center. This includes not dorm-17 and Congress Centre.
Dormitory fee
This is the first amount, you will have to pay for a dorm room reserved for you. Here is a Word file, which the school me on the dormitory reservation fees sent. It can serve as a guide for you.
Dorm 4 room rates for the half of September 2011 are 4800 RMB for large single room, 3600 RMB for small single room and 2400 RMB for a double room.
There are 2 ways to book a dorm room in BLCU:
# 1 Call a friend
You have a friend who studied one term earlier than you in BLCU, I would then suggest in any case, that you favor the dormitory reservation questions. This not only reduces the effort for its part, but it also costs (from expensive phone calls to a dormitory Office). You need your passport and accept only e-Mail letter to your friend and then coordinate the best way to send the money. You can send your payment by his bank account or atm. If he/she is home, questions, a copy of the receipt and you bring it your trip with you at the time.
# 2 Reserve room itself
This was the only option that my friend and I had. Although we had another friend in BLCU, which was ready to make a reservation for us, we could send not our documents to her on time because of our visa interview.
Okay, so that the first step here is calling the dormitory and questions, whether there are available single/double room in your home of the choice is. Please contact the housing Center at this number: + 86-10-8230-3300. Just for your information, most of them do not know, how to speak English. So try asks for someone, who can understand at least English. Use the simplest words possible, so you can understand each other. Forget not the name of the person from which answered. You are gonna need this name once again, if you confirm your payment.
You may encounter someone, you say that, who are leaving no more room, don't panic! Trying to call again after a few hours, someone else could answer and tell you that there are many rooms available. (Trust me, was this!): D
Once you have confirmed that still rooms available, please send your payment via wire transfer. Ask your bank wire transfer fees. BLCU Bank, we are as follows:

I find really confusing the telegraphic transfer. But this is, as we our payment sent. Send your payment in US dollars. Our first transaction aufgeprallt back, because we sent our RMB payment. You can send an e-Mail to zhusu@blcu.edu.cn just to confirm, if it is correct.
Send your payment by telegraphic transfer, so after the fax reception, your preference (single/double room, what you preferred stock), your passport and registration in mind BLCU housing Center: + 86-10-8230-3589. Then, you can call to confirm if they have received the payment.
If you understand their English and vice versa have problems, I suggest that you look for someone who can speak to you in Mandarin. , Looking for a Chinese-owned travel agency in the surrounding area and to help please try. That was what I did, when I could not understand, what said the person of the dormitory.
After several phone calls to the housing Center we finally have a home to reserve! I hope I enough information and instructions, to give you help, booked by your home reservation.
