Nearby Tsinghua University, Peking University has reliably positioned as the top higher learning organization in territory China. .

This university is particularly known for its traditional architecture of its campus buildings. However, that is all you can see and experience - walking around a lake and seeing the architecture. Unfortunetely as a visitor you cant go inside some of the buildings, such as the Main Library, to see what student life is really like. The lake is a nice and huge, situated in the middle of the campus with some traditional Chinese buildings around. It is very peaceful because of traffic restrictions inside the campus, which is a respite from the chaos on the streets. It's not in the very centre of the city, but very prestigious and famous, not only in China but worldwide. There is so much non-chinese students. Very interesting place to see.

Pros
The Chinese language course is phenomenal, most prestigious university in china, very good quality of education especially science, more foreign students then you think.

Cons
Extremely long line (waiting time: 30 minutes) to get into the college grounds and other restrictions, alot of students - halls are always full, its easy to get lost there.

Overall rating 7.5/10
