HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? If I come back to Shanghai I want to work, that is why I want to have an apartment closer to downtown Shanghai.
Personal comments:
I choose to not live at dorm, bacause I found better, bigger and cheeper apartments just outside campus This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
We often go go Nanjingxi street, a lof of cafe, bar, resturants. To have lunch, the favourit must be Element Fresh. If you want to see all of Shanghai, you can go to the 87 floor of Jin Mao, great resturant there as well. We usually to to western resturants, but there are a few good chinese as well.

ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
We where focusing on China market; marketing, the market, the culture, economy, law, business behaviour. For me as a marketer I just wanted one more course in segmenting the chinese people.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Not really, but the theachers should have a briefing about our knowledge before they set up a course for us. Our experience was that we knowed much more than the theahers belived. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
A great university, 3 best in China. The experience "living in China" alone is incredible. The teachers are helpful, and are interesting. But I do recommend to live outside dorm, but if you are traveling alone than you should stay at the drom. FINAL COMMENTS
When you are in China - TRAVEL! To visit other places than Shanghai is a great experience, shanghai is not China (much more western). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
