Personal comments
The housing at this university was on my own, I had to take care of my room. It was very cheap and easy to get a room. I was with other foreign students. It was pretty simple to get to lectures because I was quiet close to the teaching buildings.

Personal comments
live in Shanghai is quiet difficult when we do not speak Chinese because Chinese people can only speak Chinese. In the University, all the students could speak English, so it was easier to communicate with people. But I did follow Chinese courses but not enough to speak well Chinese. I needed more lessons.
