Favourite night spots would be in haidian district where the university is located. It is cheap and near. Unfortunately a lot is getting destroyed every year. Look out for Loup Chante next qinghua university west gate. Bla Bla Bar in BCLU. The Moonhouse and Go Koo Bar in Wudaokou.

Vic's or Mix at the works stadium for dancing. Latino's is a nice place for latin dancing it has colombian live band. And there is more ...

Well, as we don't have any dorms in Austria, we don't even have a campus in the sense that people can live in the university, it was a new expierence for me. Never had to share a room before, no own bathroom,etc ... But it was OK. Only that they turn off the hot water at 24:00 was really hard to bear. It is alright as long as you don't have to pay for it. But the dorm life is also very funny as long as you don't get into trouble with korean neighbors or have a korean roommate.
