Yes, Shanghai is a safe place. Chinese people are extremely welcoming of foreigners and are excited about opportunities to exchange culture and language. However, students should always use common sense and care when traveling to another country. Students are recommended to receive the appropriate immunizations; however it is not a requirement. The anticipated cost is $250 (Typhoid vaccine, Japanese Encephalitis & Malaria chemoprophylaxis (Mefloquine)).

Most private landlords and compounds catering to expats will not accept lease terms of less than 12 months. If you can sign a lease contract of 2-3 years it gives you the benefit of a slightly reduced rent. Shanghai has a limited selection of serviced apartments for short-term rentals, but these are significantly more expensive than 1-2 year leases. See similar questions...

Cancellation policies vary from each hotel and are implemented by hotels to avoid holding a room available for a guest who will not use it. If you do not cancel your reservation within the allotted cancellation period, the hotel will charge a penalty (usually one night's room charge plus tax) to the credit card provided to reserve the room. Please be sure to review the cancellation policy for your hotel carefully during the booking process. See similar questions...

will convince me to overcome my distaste for driving and be there waiting for you in the smoke-filled and mafia-infested arrivals hall with a silly little sign with your name on it.

I had some unpleasant experience dealing with the taxi mafia at Sheremetyevo-1 a couple of years ago and don't recommend them. Perhaps things have changed since, but I would be very careful hiring cabs never-the-less. See similar questions...
