“I could focus on the fact that Xiamen University is a famous university in China, with a beautiful campus and long beaches nearby, but I am not going to. The pictures speak for themselves.

Instead I would like to say that this city has a relaxed atmosphere. We live a comfortable life here. Xiamen is a modern city with everything you need, Magnus Bain (baisizhe) from Norway too.” Master's student in Civil and Commercial Law Student Experience
