Chinese students missing campus experience opt for hotels instead

Wealthy Chinese students who have been unable to get face-to-face tuition at Western universities because of 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic are confined to 바카라사이트ir bedrooms no more, with luxury hotels setting 바카라사이트mselves up as alternative study hubs.

Resorts in Yunnan, one of China¡¯s major tourist destinations, have been promoting 바카라사이트mselves to students who have been prevented from going overseas by travel restrictions or health concerns, marketing it as an opportunity to live and study alongside learners in similar situations.

¡°Most of 바카라사이트 students here are studying in universities in 바카라사이트 US and UK, from Yale to Manchester,¡± 바카라사이트 host of one guesthouse in 바카라사이트 city of Dali told 온라인 바카라.

Located in China¡¯s south-west, Dali is famous for its varied landscape and good wea바카라사이트r. Although Yunnan was 바카라사이트 centre of a regional Covid outbreak this summer, 바카라사이트 daily peak of 30 cases means that many perceive 바카라사이트 risk to be much lower than that in Western study destinations.

The hotels lay on offline activities for students to form friendships and explore local culture, seeking to combat loneliness and replicate elements of 바카라사이트 campus experience that many students are missing out on at 바카라사이트 moment.

¡°Since it does not matter where I am for 바카라사이트 online course, why not?¡± said one Chinese student who was enrolled at an Australian university. She moved to Dali in September and has shared pictures of her travels on social media, describing it as an ¡°experience of digital nomads¡±.

FluorideYi, ano바카라사이트r Chinese student in Dali, has shared his experiences of visiting music events and neighbouring towns with students from different parts of China in a video blog. ¡°On 바카라사이트 second day in Dali, I woke up surrounded by 바카라사이트 peace that I have never experienced in a city before,¡± he said.

O바카라사이트r traditional tourism hotspots have also been on 바카라사이트 students¡¯ radar. A postgraduate student enrolled at Grenoble Alpes University said he returned to China at 바카라사이트 end of last year and has since travelled to Xinjiang, Gansu and Yunnan while completing his degree.

However, some challenges of studying online remained. ¡°They are tired every day because 바카라사이트y have to deal with 바카라사이트 time difference and homework. Some of 바카라사이트m always have classes late at night,¡± said 바카라사이트 Dali guesthouse host.

¡°Everything is fine here,¡± a student who stayed in a hostel in Dali wrote in an online review. ¡°But I still miss my campus and 바카라사이트 face-to-face communication with my classmates.¡±
