Yunnan University vs. Yunnan Nationalities University

What are you planning on studying? If its Chinese, YNUs language school is still in the city proper. Unless you're a PhD candidate, most of your classes will be in Chenggong and I'm pretty sure the foreign student dorms are still up by green lake. I was able to get all of my classes except one on the old campus, but a classmate of mine who is from Vietnam lives in the dorms and he has to commute to the other campus 4 days a week. I'm currently studying anthropology and the foreign student office isn't the best but they aren't terrible and the professors are all pretty good. They're just not very used to having western students. As far as places to live, you definitely don't want to live in Chenggong if you plan on doing much outside of school. The commute can take up to two hours when traffic is bad and it usually is.
