Zhejiang University


Although I enjoyed many things during my stay in China, one of my favorites was visiting Zhejiang University. Not only did I find the differences in their school system and courses very interesting, but also their dormitory and students way of life.
Getting the opportunity to mingle with the students and having free time to roam the campus was a great opportunity. I was guided around campus by Willing, a second-year student studying landscape architecture. I was given a personal tour of the dining hall, the library, her floral arrangement collection, as well as her dormitory. Speaking with her I found it interesting how students were required to live on campus, and could not keep a car on-site. I also found the very strict rules in the living-quarters a definite contrast to ours. During our time at this campus we were treated excellent as we were given a presentation, personal tours, and a fantastic dinner and we hope to keep in touch with all these wonderful students!
