Rooms come in different sizes and styles, and you will have your own room or share with one or two other international students, who will be the same gender and around the same age as yourself. The apartments all have TVs, air-conditioning, fully-equipped kitchens and washing machines.
Or if you’ve come to China with your family, you will return to them each day after your Chinese lessons.
Level of supervisionAway from the classroom, all activities are supervised. For those students living in the residence, a monitor will stay with you in the apartment at the weekends and during the evenings, always on hand if you need anything. Slightly older students are afforded more freedom and don’t have monitors living with them.
