Dorm room blitz

College dorm rooms have become "hot property" during these summer months, as vacationing college students have rented out their campus accommodation, the Legal Mirror reported.

The cheap rent on campus dorms meet the demands of many students who have come to Beijing for summer internships or training classes. Wang Ying, a student from Sichuan Province rented a bed at a university in Haidian district for 500 yuan ($80 ) per month, which is much lower than the average rental of 5,000 yuan per month in an apartment.

Despite colleges prohibiting students from renting dorms to people outside their university, such activity still exists. A dorm manager at the Beijing Language and Culture University said the university would enhance the inspection of dorms so as to maintain dorm security.
