Beijing is a very large city and it can seem diffcult to get around. Don't take the regular cabs but take the little "pao pao" buses. They are cheaper and take you where you want.
Visit the country, it's beautiful.

Personal comments
I live in Shao Yuan is the guest house for internatinal students. The buildings are old, but the rooms are clean, paint and they have the basic facilities. My principal problem was the space, because is a small room and we have to share it with other student, and another problem the bathroom, we dont have our own, we have to share with all the girls that live in my floor. But for the student life is pretty good, because i have everything that i need very close. sometimes is not good for study because at least in my case i need to be alone when im doing a research paper or studying my chinese...but i got use to have someone in the room with me.

Although the quality of professors and classes in English are not from a high-level University. Peking University is the most prestige University in China, therefore you'll get plenty of job opportunities and you'll find yourself networking every day.
