Ascese Posted May 31, 2006 at 09:55 PM Report Posted May 31, 2006 at 09:55 PM Do they read English? Well, I just expect they let me know when the "under maintance" rooms may be rented. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can still get a room there even though I arrive at night. Yeah, that would be great. We really should meet downstairs for dinner or breakfast, since we have to go BLCU on tuesday anyway. Quote

mike81 Posted June 10, 2006 at 08:56 AM Report Posted June 10, 2006 at 08:56 AM "I will be there (along with a small contigent from Uni of Westminster in London), but our course starts 13 Jul so I will be flying in the 10th... Good luck with it mate." I am part of the contingent from the University of Westminster, too! Leaving UK on 10th and landing in Beijing 11th - just waiting for my visa now. So exciting! I emailed the campus about accommodation and they said: "Since you are a scholarship student, BLCU will arrange the accommodation for you so please do not worry about it." Does anyone know if this is true even if the scholarship only covers tuition? Quote

Marquis Posted June 13, 2006 at 02:48 AM Report Posted June 13, 2006 at 02:48 AM Hi, that sounds great. Im already at the BLCU but living off campus however im happy to meet for a coffee anytime. Just let me know when and were and ill be there. Quote
amandathepanda Posted June 13, 2006 at 03:19 AM Report Posted June 13, 2006 at 03:19 AM Sure, sounds good to me! I'll be getting a Chinese cell phone to use in a few days so I'll get you the phone number soon, that way it'll be easier for me to meet up with you guys later. I'll actually be in Beijing starting June 24, but I'm going to be volunteering at an orphanage on the outskirts of the city for a week, then touring China for another week with some friends. ~Amanda Quote
