China University Dorms - Foreigners Get Better Dorms Than Locals

[@PsychosisFire]

Foreign students are also expected to pay a hell of a lot more than Chinese students, so naturally the quality of the accommodation will be higher, just saying.

[@BlondyBeautyful]

what do they pay?? moste of them have scholarship so they dont pay anything..

[@PsychosisFire]

​@@BlondyBeautyful Says who? Only one of the foreign guys in the video said he didn't have to pay. Most people I know have to pay for their own accommodation, and it's way more than what the Chinese students pay. That doesn't mean the Chinese student dorms shouldn't be higher quality - they absolutely should. But if I was expected to pay up to 10 times what a native student paid and then the quality of the accommodation turned out the same, I'd be pissed off.

[@nazeebaghathoon7795]

Yes we have to pay... i also study in china

[@nazeebaghathoon7795]

But the thing is in our clg,chineese students dorms are also good and clean.. and they have another building for bathing and hot water... and they wont have to pay as much as we pay..

[@cristinateodora5412]

In my country is kind of the same mentality, I mean the international students do get better dorms because they are considered guests in our country so they are treated accordingly. However the difference between our dorms and theirs is not that dramatic and our living conditions are pretty decent. I think in China the situation is so bad because of the large population.

[@ioogleio]

Actually, you just cannot use just $200 a year to live in a big and luxury dormitory....

[@princeohemeng6316]

Foreigners pay higher tuition that’s why.

[@johnmarlon6916]

Much better. My Chinese classmates paid 1500 rmb for the year. I paid 1300 rmb per month. And, even if I wanted to live in a dorm with Chinese students it was forbidden.

[@johnmarlon6916]

Even so it could not account for difference in tuition cost or dorm cost. Personally I think it is great that access to education is available for nearly everybody. Also that having foreign students is a great source of revenue.

[@muyun9525]

[@sadder9531]

i tell you something,i lived in a chinese dorm with all that rules , but when i left and rented a room outside .. i missed all those good friends i met in the chinese dorm then I came back to that dorm hhh

[@nicolescats2]

Did you get to have cooking appliances? I saw them in the foreigner dormitories but I couldn't tell if they were present/what the rules were in the Chinese one. And if not, what were the meal plan rules? I know a lot of US Universities are really strict and only let you use the meal plan you are required to buy in the dining halls. It's a big deal on tours that my University allows it to be used on retail food and coffee sold by the University. I know there wouldn't be space for large appliances, but could you at least have a rice cooker and a kettle without getting yelled at for "creating a fire hazard". The dorms my school offers are for the most part very nice, but only being able to have appliances without an exposed heating element sucked. There's only so much you can make with a microwave and an approved pod coffee maker, at least you can have a decent sized mini fridge to store your food in.

[@neili9602]

Wow the dorm in chinese dramas is way better I thought that’d be the reality 😖 I hope they get a better dorm

[@tamajwright7795]

I understand how sad this can be for local students because its the same at my home university. The international quarters are newer, nicer but they are more expensive.

Peeps need to understand the ratios of Chinese students to international students. They can't provide a room for every two Chinese students, otherwise they need to build shitload of buildings to accommodate everyone. And Chinese students are discipline, they're there to study not to party.

[@cilantroisbetterthanparsley]

I mean, foreigners pay a substantial amount. Chinese students pay about *15 USD per month* to live in those dorms. You get what you pay for, I guess. It does svck that there are no higher quality dorms available at a higher rent price for Chinese students as well.

[@zhaomike952]

In Canada we usually move out of dorms and rent our own place outside after the first year

[@lydiaalhassan4127]

In my country foreign and local students have the same type of dormitories. 4 and 2 bed dormitory.

[@boredomalert3625]

But foreign students must pay a lot. Like I mean literally a lot more. Just like international school are usually much much more expensive than local schools but they offer more things. Oh and the Chinese dormitory may look rough and not very nice, I think it will be a great experience to try living there because there are many places in China that actually have those conditions for average homes so maybe some people don’t mind. From experience, I think luxury doesn’t matter, all that matters is that you are living with friends and people you like.

[@HikikomoriDev]

It's also tougher on the Chinese because having sex in the dorms is more dificult, it's something all college students need to experience once.

[@getrelaxed8668]

Same things for my country foreigners have 100times better dorms than ours

[@stelaaaa-we]

international students are paying at most 10 times the amount being paid by chinese students so its only normal that they have better facilities at their disposal. i think its the same conditions in most countries.

[@aaronh6852]

In most cases, is because government pays a lot for Chinese students so most public universities in China charge very little compared to western universities. Same for dorms, students pay much less to live in a standard 4-bed dorm, but they are free to live in apts outside the campus if they will (some universities forbid students from moving out, but that's not the majority).

Well i'm seeing this and for students that are paying, between foreigners and locals have differences in price. one is 1500rmb/year for locals with bad living condition and the other 40rmb/day for foreigners with good living condition. The problem should be about scholarship, i'm assuming that foreigners with scholarship will have better room than locals with scholarship. As a foreigner i would be happy in that treatment but i'd also symphatize with my local friends as the government mistreats their citizens. I also see in this video that locals are rather accepting(not complaining much) about this, i think because people can't badmouth the government in China in the open, being the communist country that it is.

[@oldmeat7748]

It is incorrect to ascribe the difference of living conditions of the internationals and the locals to their different costs. I mean it is totally wrong. Why? To see the reason, think about this: So far 6 Chinese students share a room, but you know what? Most Chinese students would be very willing to pay 6 times as much to live alone in that room, only if they were allowed to (living on-campus is much more convenient in China than in the US). Then why are they living so tight after all? The real reason is that the space of the campus is very limited, while the government always reserve much more per-person-space to foreigners than to locals. That’s the real reason why the Chinese students live in such shitty condition. Don’t you believe me? Ask the Chinese students around you for confirmation. The reason that the internationals live much better than the locals is because the commie government always put politics prior to the interests of the Chinese people, and this is nothing strange in the long, dark history of CCP.
