First of all, we should consider students' own family economic situation and consumption habits. The amount of living expenses varies from person to person. For some students, 1500 yuan can even be used, while for others, 3000 yuan may not be enough. So you need to make a budget according to your actual situation.
Secondly, we should consider the particularity of living in Shanghai. As an international metropolis, Shanghai has a high consumption level, and correspondingly, the cost of living will be relatively high. In addition, if you like traveling, shopping and other big consumers, you need to master some skills to save money.
Finally, it is suggested to combine school resources and social resources for effective management and utilization. You can use the resources of the school's restaurants and supermarkets to reduce the cost of eating out and shopping. At the same time, you can join some clubs or do part-time jobs to get some amateur income.
