I studied at BLCU last fall so I got a chance to look at the dorms and I wasnt very impressed,
altough they opened up two new much better (and more expensive) dormbuildings I still recommend
ppl NOT to stay at the dorms.
Why ?
- They're more expensive than to rent an apartment nearby
- They have a much lower standard than equally expensive apartments
- You are much more free to come/go as you like and bring friends (of both sexes which can be a
bit tricky in some of the dorms)

contra - on the other hand it takes some work, finding a real estate agent and looking at
apartments, that took me 1 week tops but I had someone helping me.
And if u pay the landlord all the money at once your much more likely to get a lower rent, dont
forget to bargain !! and look at several apartments so you can lower the price by comparing them.

I ended up sharing a 150sqm apartment in hua-qing-jia-yuan, 5-10 min walk from school right beside
the wudaokou light rail, perfect spot.. resturatns, communication night clubs, gym etc...

Thanks for the answer , Karmakid.....
But I still have much thing want to know more about dorm there, cause I rather surely that I will
stay in dorm only because of safety (I think) . Can you give me any information about the dorm
here cause you have been there before
Anything you know about here is what I surely want to know, Thanks again

I was in No.4 when I studied there. It was two years ago now. Think I paid IS$7.50 a night to
share a fairly small room (though not as small as the international center rooms).

There were quite a few cockroaches but no big ones, but the main problem was mosquitoes - couldn't
stop them coming in. Maybe the dorms are OK for the winter but I found them rather uncomfortable
from about this time of year.......

Aloha - Beijing is quite safe, and there are just too many people around in Wudaokou to be a
victim of any type of attack (except poss middle of the night)

karmakid,
how did you find your flat? did you use an agency or the school? how is the one year program
there? i did a summer and felt it was too intense.

I took a look at the dorms at the BLCU and decided it wasn't worth the money. Flats near the
university are pretty easy to find. A lot of the long term students are away for the summer and
like to sublet their apartments. Why don't you check out :
