Classes are pretty easy and they don't care too much about us. I would recommend Industrial Engeneering class, Chinese for beginners ( not very easy but…..
What kind of place was it?
Classic Apartment
How much was the rent per month?
500 Euros/ month
Where was it located?
Tianlongsi Metro Station, 30 min by metro from the university or 10/15 minutes by car
How can someone find this place?
Contact
Would you recommend it?
I would not recommend that much because the appartment was a little dirty when we first came and was a bit expensive for what we can find in Nanjing and for the problem in the appartment that we had. But the hood was good ( shops, food, metro station, basketball fields, etc around the building)
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Clubs in Nanjing and also everywhere in China were surprisely very good and all the people are nice and friendly there (our personal experience), In nanjing I would recommand Kaos club and Class 313 near the Kaos. ( A lot of foreigners in Class 313 ). For the bars the city is the best for that but you can find very easily some place to go out.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Classes are pretty easy and they don't care too much about us. I would recommend Industrial Engeneering class, Chinese for beginners ( not very easy but important to learn chinese ). We took chinese history, principle of management, critical thinking, Artificial Intelligence, they were not that much funny but we could miss class and have nothing and also it allowed us to have only 3 days of class and have the rest of the week to travel.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is beautiful, pleasant and very big. Lot of sports fields and a lot of different students from all over the World. Registration is not that easy because its China but we were followed by someone. If i have no choice to take the same uni again it won't be a problem. ( you can also use electric scooter, bikes or take the bus inside the uni )
Best trips to do?
China is so amazing and cheap. The travel opportunities are so big you don't have time to do everything. We went to Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing, Chonqging, Chengdu, Zhiangjiajie ( Avatar Mountains ), Hangzhou, Shenzen, Guangzhou, Suzhou and the journey is not finished, it's plan to go to Sanya. You can find every type of landscape, Cyberpunk cities, natural landscape, traditional villages or beautiful beach. you can find everything
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Nanjing?
Cost of living cheap, safe like every other cities, historical city also, futuristic commercial centers.
If you go to China, be very prepared ( VPN, Alipay and Wechat apps ), it's very different from every countries so you would have to adapt but the it's amazing there.
