Zhe Jiang Uni has many campuses. For my 4 month exchange in China I stayed at the Zi Jin Gang campus. It is a really nice place! So much food and things to explore around there. The people there are quite polite too as it isn't a city like place. If you are into scenery, you can visit XiHu (West Lake) which has a really nice atmosphere, especially dawn and dusk. If you feel more adventurous you could climb the famous Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain). The view there is just incredible. A group of us spent 3 days on the mountain. It was an experience I would never forget! Just next to the place we were staying at was a back alley that led to a a place across a bridge that we called 'Hou Jie'. It sold a wide variety of food and dessert ranging from tradition Chinese food to western and Korean food It was a good experience overall and I wouldn't mind going back to eat the good food and take in the scenery of the place again!

My international exchange programme to Zhejiang University was a great learning journey where I learnt so much about China's culture and also, met a lot of international friends. The global exposure trained me to be an adaptable and independent individual. I would recommend students to go if they are looking for a reasonably priced exchange programme with interesting experiences.
