Academic
Course recommendations
Sociolgy courses gives an interesting insight of the "Chinese spitirt" and way of behaviour. Chinese language courses are very good and practical. Lack of more diversified courses like in my field of studies (Management), but the exchange program was completely new. Need to be improved.

Room quite small and not very clean, but convenient. I was not often in my room, so it was not for me a big problem.
