SUFE Dorm Reviews

Hello, I'll be at SUFE University from February to June on a university program. I'm looking for feedback on the dorms offered to international students. The prices are very low, but what's the catch… more

Low prices for Shanghai dorms? Expect the basics. Think functional, not fancy. Probably shared bathrooms, maybe a bit cramped. But hey, you're only there for a few months and you're saving money. Prioritize location – close to campus and good public transport is more important than a luxurious room. Check photos if possible, or ask current students on the university's international student forum or Facebook group.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
