Peking University (PKU)

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.

Well, as we don't have any dorms in Austria, we don't even have a campus in the sense that people can live in the university, it was a new expierence for me. Never had to share a room before, no own bathroom,etc ... But it was OK. Only that they turn off the hot water at 24:00 was really hard to bear. It is alright as long as you don't have to pay for it. But the dorm life is also very funny as long as you don't get into trouble with korean neighbors or have a korean roommate.

Although the accommodations were idyllic in reference to cleanliness and space, I would have much preferred to live with other Chinese students. Most all American Study Abroad students living on campus were housed in our dorm. There were no Chinese students living near us.

Accomodations - hah. The front doors were locked at a certain time and no-one could get in or out - can you say 'death-trap'? We were two to a room the size of one bed, there was hot water for one hour each morning and only three showers per sex for several hundred people, the water was TURNED OFF at other times, facilities for washing clothes were a rock and a faucet of cold water, it was unheated in winter, and there were no medical facilities available.

The accomodation was cheap but needed a lot of improvement concerning cleanliness and other arrangements.

it was ideal for students abroad,on campus you will get every thing & get to know more students
