Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Most of the students are there. ;) And it is very hard to stay outside the campus, if you don't know chinese

Personal comments

quite expensive, but cheap hotel class rooms. 1800 yuan / month. Aircon, hotwater, no roaches. Lots of foreigners living in the same building. This keeps you away from the chinese students, but helps you out if you have to do something, like pay bills. There ios always someone to whine, when you don't understand the chinese mentality. It is forbidden to bring overnight visitors. :(

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

some courses were too similar, for example "strategic management" and "international business"; the approach for team work was really different from my exepriences at the ESCEM business school, France. All in all studying in Hangzhou was a really good experience.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course
