Curfew at BLCU Dorms

[Blueice]

Hi guys

I will study Chinese in BLCU this summer for 1 month. And I will probability stay at the dorm during my time in Beijing. Now I want to ask people who have living at the campus dorm about curfew. I have read at BLCU homepage (http://www.blcu.edu.cn/lzb/lx_back/english/image/handbook/Services.htm ) about the curfew, and I really don’t like it because I want try out the night life too:roll:. But I have read on this forum about the curfew aren’t for international student, is it true? Can you sneak in after the close?

This Los Angeles Times writer doesn't seem to think that the curfew was such a big deal:

Also, the last item on your BLCU link is not entirely accurate. I've never had to sign in, nor have I ever seen anyone to sign in to enter the school. At least during the daytime and during this post-Olympic period, it's an open campus.

I was there in 2002-2003, so info might be outdated, but when I was living in a BLCU dorm it was like this: there was a curfew, but if you came home later you could knock on the door, and the shifu would wake up, grumble at you for being late, and open the door so you could get in. So, not really an issue.

if you want to free to try out the night life. my suggestion is to rent a room outside the BLCU.
