Tsinghua University 2017 Accommodation Booking

[chrisdealemania]

Has anyone tried to login at the university accommodation website http://www.thutraining.com/ULogin_E.aspx ?

It says my Student ID does not exist, although I am having my admission pack in front of me. So, I cannot login at all.

You can't log in until July 21st. That's the day you can start booking your accommodation. If you are a scholarship winner, you don't have to book accommodation, but if you are a self supported student, it's a very slim chance that you can actually get a room. I've heard that a few minutes after you can start booking accommodation, it's already fully booked. 

By the way, what will you study?

[chrisdealemania]

Thanks for the reply. I find the situation somewhat confusing since I am not (yet) a winner, but a nominee. ...since the final announcements have yet to be made. The problem is that the bookings have to be made this week. The website specifically says that my student ID does not exist, not just that I cannot login. Hence my concern. 

 

I am a Master candidate in Environmental Science and Engineering (and Management).

I have the same issue and I am also nominated for CSC in a Ph.D. Program. I have contacted the graduate office and I was told that you don't have to book a room until the results are out. From what I understood, there are rooms reserved for THU CSC nominees. If you don't win the scholarship, then you have to pay for the tuition fees and living costs by yourself.

Hey guys. I have a question about the admission package. Have you already received yours? How long did it take from the day you received the email from Tsinghua saying they will be mailing the package till the day you actually received it? The point is I am from Russia and our postal services are no good. So I am a bit worried about that. Thanks! 

[Dgengy]

@Alexandra21 I received mine after almost 3 days from the initial request date. (P.S. The shipping is done by DHL).

[chrisdealemania]

Thanks @Dgengy

 

@Alexandra21, I received the email about sending the admission package two days AFTER it was dispatched. Subsequently, I received the package two day later. So in total 4-5 days delivery time. You should have a tracking code that tells you where the package is.

@Dgengy @chrisdealemania Thanks for the replies) I have asked for the tracking code from my department today, they sent it and it appears that they mailed the documents via SF express, not via DHL, so it's department-specific. SF express is kinda slow, but at least I have a tracking code now)

Just finished booking online, I was surprised that the AB rooms were gone so fast (was expecting single rooms to be booked up first). Hope everyone got their choice accommodations! 

[Rytis95]

Can anyone log in the accommodation booking website? I got the scholarship and they said that they'll book the room for me, but I would love to be able to log in and check. However, it gives me an error saying that such student ID doesn't exist...

 

I'm trying to log in here: http://www.thutraining.com

@Rytis95 It still says " Student_ID does not exist!".

[Dgengy]

I have received another email from Tsinghua Graduate office

We have reserved rooms for all the CGS nominated students.

 

There is no need to book a room if you are nominated.

Any way to find out what rooms we got? It seems that CGS students can't log into the accommodation portal.

[Dgengy]

@Rytis95 I think it is possible, but it is a hassle to go through that process. Normally, for an MSc student you will get a double room and for a Ph.D. student, you will get a single room.
