During your studies you will live in the overseas student dormitories. Living on campus gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in campus life, allows you to meet other international students and make friends from all over the world. The INTO Student Services team will always be near by to help you with any problems that you may encounter.

About the accommodation

INTO provides you with the best halls of residence experience on campus in Yiyuan No.2 and No.4 buildings. The accommodation is a popular choice with international students as it is conveniently located in the south of Nankai’s campus and within 10-15 minutes’ walk of most shops, canteens, and teaching buildings.

Nankai University’s dorms are comfortable and safe, similar to what you might expect to find at a US or UK university. Smoking is not permitted in the accommodation.

The International Student Building is located on campus and accommodation is offered as twin bedrooms with an en-suite shower room, TV, and internet access. You will share laundry facilities with students on your floor within the accommodation.

The accommodation is fully furnished and offers modern facilities, a healthy study environment and easily accessible campus facilities. There are also relaxation areas throughout the campus for your enjoyment.

Accommodation facilities

Internet

The dorms allow wired internet access via an Ethernet cable (provided). this can be set up at the Mingzhuyuan Hotel reception, charged at RMB 0.1 per MB. To access the on-campus Wi-Fi, please see the INTO China Student Services team during your registration week.

Telephone

There is a landline telephone in your room, which requires a pre-paid telephone card (available on campus). These cards cannot be used to call internationally and even local calls will be relatively expensive. We recommend using an internet phone service (such as Skype or Wechat) for making international calls.

Laundry

There are communal laundry rooms on each floor. Machines are automatic, but you will need to add your own laundry detergent. Payment is made using a laundry card, which can be purchased from the INTO China Student Services office, costing RMB 3 per wash (RMB 20 refundable deposit per card).

Post

Post from home can be delivered and will be stored at reception in both dorms.

Dining

Yiyuan No.2 Building houses a buffet service restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect to pay around RMB 4 for breakfast and up to RMB 20 for lunch/dinner. There are plenty of dining options within 10 minutes’ walk of the accommodation, including campus canteens and other restaurants (including Mingzhuyuan Hotel).

Cooking is prohibited in university accommodation.
