e30s50 Posted December 11, 2011 at 11:13 PM Report Posted December 11, 2011 at 11:13 PM Hey people, I will be attending the spring semester at BLCU starting in February. Just wondering who else will be there? Let's work hard and party harder! xD John
Cramsy Posted December 12, 2011 at 12:05 PM Report Posted December 12, 2011 at 12:05 PM I'll be there! Just got all of my confirmation today. I'm planning to arrive about a week early to sort out accommodation but I'm kind of lost where to start :s I've been reading up and I've gathered that calling the dorms directly is iffy but sometimes effective? Then I've heard about the student center which (I think) has the 3 person apartments? I'm really not sure where to start looking lol Will be fun all the same
prateeksha Posted December 12, 2011 at 03:59 PM Report Posted December 12, 2011 at 03:59 PM Since I am already here and been through what you guys are going through right now, I'll simplify it for you. Around 15th January [the end of current semester], send RMB2400 [that is almost the rent of a standard double room] to this bank account: SWIFT BIC：HXBKCNBJ030 BANK NAME : HUA XIA BANK BENEFICIARY：A/C NO：0301123—8194127 NAME：BEIJING LANGUAGE AND CULTURE UNIVERSITY ADDRESS：15 XUEYUAN ROAD，HAIDIAN DIST CITY，PROVINCE：BEIJING ，CHINA After remittance, send a fax with your essential details - name, country, student number, expected date of arrival, preferred dormitory and FAX it to +86-010-8230-3589. Just to let you know, it's building 2 which is the Housing Centre. They handle all the accommodation business. Inside tip? Dorm 4 is the best. Also wrote a blog post at that time, hope this helps: http://prateekshahastogotobeijing.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/dorm-booking-at-blcu/ PS: Now that I am here and I can read all the notices about booking a dorm and blah, it's the same procedure as above. 1
Thaiana Gun Posted December 12, 2011 at 09:42 PM Report Posted December 12, 2011 at 09:42 PM Hi Could you tell some positive and negative things about dorm 4? I will probably stay there..
Cramsy Posted December 13, 2011 at 10:48 AM Report Posted December 13, 2011 at 10:48 AM Thanks for the easy to read reply! Just wondering if you could tell us a little more about the dorm? One thing though, It's just that I don't feel exactly comfortable depositing money into a random bank account. Not doubting you, just wanted to know where that info came from?
prateeksha Posted December 13, 2011 at 11:35 AM Report Posted December 13, 2011 at 11:35 AM Cramsy, I did that myself. Your doubt is obvious, no misunderstanding. Well if there is someone who can speak Chinese for you, you could ask them to call up the Housing Centre and ask the booking process for you. The staff does not understand a word in any other language but Chinese, and they never reply to emails. If time permits, I will go to the housing centre and click a photograph of the notices. Guess will serve everyone good About the dorms? In the next post, please. 1
e30s50 Posted December 14, 2011 at 11:11 AM Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 at 11:11 AM I will probably show up a week early as well. I'm looking to secure a room in Dorm 17. I will also look into dorm 4 when I arrive and check them both out for myself before I make my final decision. Hope to meet you all there. John
Thaiana Gun Posted December 16, 2011 at 02:36 AM Report Posted December 16, 2011 at 02:36 AM Hello! I will be there in February, 2 weeks before my classes start, to try to book a room in dorm 4. I hope to see you guys there Oh, I have a doubt about the payment of the couse at BLCU and about the money I will need while I am in China! Do I have to bring it all in cash? Open an account and make some deposits to pay the University? How does it work?
e30s50 Posted December 16, 2011 at 02:57 AM Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 at 02:57 AM I have relatives in China I wire my money to. I will also be bringing cash in order to cover tuition and housing. Cash in hand is probably a good idea. But, I may be wrong so it may be wise to wait on a second opinion lol. John
