Hi everyone!
I'm a French exchange student heading to the University of Macau for the Fall 2026 semester (August to December). I've decided not to stay in the Residential College and would like to find a flat or shared apartment off-campus for around 5 months.
I have a few questions for anyone who has been in a similar situation:
- How did you find your accommodation? (Facebook groups, local agencies, websites?)
- Is it realistic to find something before arriving, or is it better to look once you're there?
- What is the average price for a room in a shared flat near the UM campus in Taipa?
- Any tips or things to watch out for as a foreign student renting in Macau?
Any advice or personal experience would be hugely appreciated. Thankssssssss a lot!
