    Hi Liz,

    I haven't actually left for Kunming yet, my flight will depart this Friday and I'll arrive on the 28th. So, at this moment I have no opinion on either university, sorry!

    I have heard that apartment housing is the better choice though, not just on this forum but on many others.

    Here's a thread on another forum where they might have some info for you:

    Anyways, I'll be sure to post back on this forum with my thoughts when I've settled in. :)

    Good luck!

    I'm not too worried about money, it's just that I wanted to cook some meals at home rather than eat out all the time.

    A dollar or two for a meal though, sounds pretty sweet.

    I'm not able to switch, but next time I come I will definitely look into the apartments instead. I think that the dorm rooms at least have a refrigerator... hopefully.

    The good thing is the location. :) I love the thought of walking past Green Lake park every day.

    Thanks for the tips everybody. I'm taking mental notes on each one.

    Geez. Maybe I should have gone for the apartment option.

    :|

    Whatever, it should be fine, I probably won't spend too much time in my dorm room anyways. Thanks for the heads up though. lol

    No kitchen? That's not good. Anybody have a rice cooker they don't need anymore?

    Thanks for the info, I'll probably leave my cookbook at home now and invest in a small rice cooker.

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Catherine and I am a university student, nice to meet you all. :)

    I've got a few questions before I leave for Kunming in February. I'll be studying at Yunnan University and staying in their university house for international students. I wanted to ask, has anybody here stayed in the university house before?

    I want to know what to expect and what to bring along and I haven't been able to find much information on their international university housing.

    Do they have a kitchen in the dorm building? Is it stocked with basic appliances or will I need my own?

    ...
    Well, I can't really think of anything else right now, so please tell me about your overall experience with the dorms.

    And even if you haven't stayed in the dorms, I would like to hear about your experience at the university as well. Teachers, classwork, stuff like that.

    Thanks for reading. Once I finish my semester there, I am definitely going to put up a blog with lots of information on it. Hope it will help someone in a situation like mine in the future.

    I'm very excited be able to study in Kunming! :) Can't wait.
