Go for it! It is a good experiance to study abroad, to get to know a new culture and travelling was the most important thing for me because it simply widens your horizon. The university is the best place for an exchange semester but even better for a MBA program as is ranks number 6 in the world! If I had the opportunity I would choose this university again because nobody can refund you this experiance.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
For the price they made us pay for a tiny and dirty room that we shared between the three fo us, we could have had a huge and nice appartment downtown.

Personal comments
Communist radio information at 5am, every morning, on the campus, through big speakers, to wake you up!!
The price we paid for a tiny room was robery compared to normal rates downtown!
And last but not least, people in China always want to know where you go and what you're doing exactly (communist attitude) so people responsible for our stay in the University would treat us like little kids.
But at the same time it was also a great experience to share every day life, of thousands of Chinese students that where living on the campus.

Personal spending habits
the currancy improved during my stay in HK because it is peged to the USD. So I could afford more things than I could have some semesters before. I spend more on night life because drinks and cover charges are twice expensive than at home and on travelling I spend more because I took the opportunity to get as much impressions of the area as possible.

Student life
Describe host city:
Travel, Nightlife, Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
Not much to say about night life. Though I love to go out, this city doesn't have many places for students to go out. There were a couple of places close to the university where all foreign students and chinese that could speak english or french would meet; but everything in Kunming is knocked down and rebuilt so fast it would have changed by now.
