Personal comments
For China it was a great dormitory. But comparing with Europe it could be better. There were problems with facilities, for example, fixed hours of hot water.

Personal comments
Chinese is completely different languages. It doen't have any common features with any european language. That's why it was really hard to communicate there mostly in every aspect of everyday life. Chinese people in general don't know English and are able to speak only their native language. It was a problem, however I can say that it was a great experience to learn Chinese and try to communicate in it.
