I booked all my trips 1 day before leaving, or sometimes the day i leave. It’s so easy. You can book your planes , trains, and hotels on Trip.com, and you…..
What kind of place was it?
Student Residence
How much was the rent per month?
200
Where was it located?
In the university
How can someone find this place?
I don’t know
Would you recommend it?
The place is okay but very small, the bathroom is not good and you need to buy everything when you arrive. You can find a good apartment close to the university at the same price.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Everything was good, everyone i met was very kind and they didn’t hesitate to help me when I needed. Clubs close to the university where you can find foreigners: Mthree, Red Cat or Red Nose. Also in the university, there is a lot of sportive events.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
At IESEG, I started to learn Chinese language so it was an evidence for me to continue in China. My teacher was so nice and proud of us. He was very invested in the class.
Do you have some tips?
The firsts days in China are very complicated because everything is different. In Wuhan, chinese people don’t speak english at all. It makes the registration complicated. But the campus was soo big (it’s a city), you can find everything on the campus to eat (a lot of fast foods, chinese food etc). Also, you have a gate in the university and you’re directly on a road with a LOT of malls and a lot of shops. You can find EVERYTHING. You can also order online, it’s very cheap.
Best trips to do?
I booked all my trips 1 day before leaving, or sometimes the day i leave. It’s so easy. You can book your planes , trains, and hotels on Trip.com, and you have a lot of reduced prices. If you want to do activities, don’t forget your student card! Sometimes the price is divided by 2 ! That’s where i went on trip : - Sanya (10/10) - Chongqing - Chengdu - Shanghai - Beijing - Zhangjiajie - Shenzhen - Ganzhou I also recommend Guilin when you arrived (september/october). And Harbin also, it’s so beautiful but very cold !
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Wuhan?
Transports are very cheap and easy (everywhere the same). The food in Wuhan is famous for being spicy 🌶️ The weather is ok. The summer (till mid october) is very very hot (35°C and very wet). After, november and december (between 5°C and 20°C), it varies a lot.
