I am from Bangladesh and going to study PhD in Chinese University of Hong Kong for the period of 4 years.I have been also awarded with studentship for which I will get minimum 12800 HK$ per month to maximum 13800 HK$.
From this money I have to pay the tuition fees yearly which is 42100 HK$ per year and rent of the Dormitory which is 2270 HK$ monthly (rent also include water bill and electricity, but not AC).If I have my meals in campus that will not cost more than 100 HK$ per day.But obviously I would like to eat sometimes out.
I might also go for shopping but I am not a shopaholic, I buy whatever is needed.
I would also like to visit twice a year in the places around Hong Kong.Do you think I can survive with this amount of studentship?
Your advice will be highly appreciated.Please HELP.........................

true cara, but teachers (or anyone for that matter) on an Emp. visa are not 'allowed' to tutor either...that hasn't stopped many of them from doing so...

Thanks for all the advice.I would like to correct Cara's calcultion.I have to pay half of the total tuition fees 6 monthly,i.e. 21050 HK$ at begining of each semster (2 semester per year).Thats mean I have to save around 3510HK$ each month.So the total cost per month will be (if I save 3600 HK$ per month for my tuition) 8970 HK$, which will be roughly 9000HK$.
Yeah as I will be a full time student I am not allowed to work outside nor in the campus as a tutor.But I will be assisting the research work and teaching of teachers as a part of my studentship.
Sorry,Wood cant accept you are proposal as I am a muslim.But thanks for your advice as well.

I think you can get mobiles cheap at $35 per month.
I like China Mobile out of the cheaper phone companies.
CTI is usually very cheap for IDD calls but I couldn't find Bangladesh
