What will the accomodations be like?

Most of the semester will be spent at beautiful Xiamen [pronounced like “SHAH men”] University, a modern, seaside university  in the southern coast of China.  CSP students will reside in a dormitory set aside for international students from around the world who come to study at Xiamen University.

 While studying and traveling in China you will be staying in either university dormitory rooms built especially for international students (thus a cut above the rest) or at tourist-class hotels. Each dorm room has two beds, two desks, an air-conditioner/heater, a telephone, a television, and a bathroom. Clean bedding is provided, so don’t bring sheets, pillows, blankets, etc., but you’ll have to wash your linens yourself. The dorm has washing machines available for about 65 cents a load. Like nearly all Chinese, you’ll probably dry your clothes on a line.

During the travel components of the program, students could stay in hostels, hotels or other university dormitories. During such travel, there may occasionally be three students per room.
