HSK courses at Kunming Metallurgy College RMB8000/year, with Thai, Lao, Vietnamese at RMB12000 if you feel like a hanzi break. (Looks like two campuses, one a bit out of town.)

===========================================================

 

Not super cheap, but also in Zibo (& Qingdao?) Shandong University of Science & Technology: RMB13,600/year + 7,500 - 13,000(!) for accommodation:

& in nearby Rizhao on the Shandong coast, which should be quite nice:

 

Shandong Foreign Languages Vocational College RMB13,500 + RMB 40/day (14000/y!) accom

(There's also a Rizhao Polytechnic, but I couldn't find any info on it.)

Shandong Vocational College of Science and Technology (Weifang, 5km out of town)

 

http://sdzy.admissions.cn/course/degree/Non-degree

RMB10,000 + 2,500-7,500 accom (other fees slightly inflated)

Weifang University of Science and Technology (in neighbouring Shouguang, Shandong, "蔬菜之乡"

 

12-13000RMB + 3600-7200 accommodation ("Fees for applying for study in China, medical examination in China and one-year residence permission add up to about 2200RMB." Seems a bit high, but tuition includes insurance)

Seems like a nice city, as they go. Has families that can trace their ancestry back to a 15 century Sultan of Sulu (Now SW Philippines.)

Yantai Nanshan (a private uni I think - perhaps better equipped than average):

 

RMB12,000 + 14,400 accommodation

Not super cheap but seem to have campuses right on the coast...

 

 

Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai

 

RMB13,000/year + 14,400 accommodation

 

http://www.admissions.cn/whhit/index02.htm

 

 

 

Shandong International University (aka Shandong Vocational College of Foreign Affairs Translation - 山东外事翻译学院):

 

RMB15,000/year + 12,500-25,000 accommodation (35-70RMB/day, no mention of monthly rate)

Shandong Uni at Wehai:

 

RMB14,000/year + 8,000- 10,000 accommodation ('double room' - presumably shared)

Cheap - Tianshui* Normal: $1200-1600 (website ambiguous) + $600-1200 accommodation. So <= RMB18,500/year toal

Good luck finding international affairs info on http://www.tsnc.edu.cn/

 

* Gansu's #2 city, "monsoon-influenced, cool semi-arid climate", birthplace of Fuxi and Nüwa, preserves some ancient Chinese customs better than many other places if this CCTV travelogue is accurate:

======================================

Cheapish tuition at Henan Uni, Kaifeng: RMB11,200, but 10,800-21,600 for accommodation. The latter could reflect failure to publish a monthly rate. Assuming 40% off for monthly, RMB18-24000/year.

Kaifeng also sounds interesting.

Xuzhou Normal's teach to study program

 

Tuition and accomodation free in exchange of 8 hours a week English tutoring, 12 hours a week gives you a 1000RMB monthly payment as well.

Xuzhou Normal seems to have been rebranded Jiangsu Normal (this is where http://www.xznu.edu.cn points). It seems the scholarship is still available, for "Native English, Japanese, Korean, French, German and Russian students with Bachelor’s Degree"

 

http://en.jsnu.edu.cn/gjxs/list.htm

 

Don't know much about Xuzhou, but it seems quite convenient for travel to Shanghai, & quite a few places in Shandong, Hebei & Henan. JNU's fees are reasonable: RMB12,500/year + 5,000-10,000/year accommodation.

Several Kunming private schools have packages fees comparable to low-end uni study (ie <10k/y) & apparently even in central KM accommodation's affordable:
