‘Strolling around the old part of the Tsinghua University is also a great way to relax and appreciate what the university campus has to offer. Cycling from campus to the Forbidden City at night is always a good way to see and understand the city. If you want a taste of the student clubbing culture, head to Global Club in Wudaoko.’

‘One of the programme’s most valuable features is the chance to meet experts of the field not only from China, but from other countries all over the world. By working with them, sharing opinions and thoughts, we learn about various cultures and

theories from different parts of the world.’

‘Finding good lodging can be tricky to find at first, especially if you don’t know Chinese. During the first year, I lived in the student dorms on campus,

after that I moved just outside with some classmates to an apartment we found through an agency.’
