The student apartments in China Normal University are strictly managed and closed to the public unless your friends who live here have a very good relationship with the boarding house. However, there is an apartment around China Normal University for 60 days. If your friend can get the teacher's note, it can be 15 days.
Zhongshan North Road is not biased, and Minhang is biased (graduate apartment is in Minhang), but the traffic is convenient. The Fengxian line of South Station is direct, and Lujiazui is about to reverse.
