Campus Life

Studying in China is like jumping into a cold swimming pool. Life as a student here can be highly enjoyable, reinvigorating experience or it can be a lonely, doubt-ridden waste of time. The simple truth is, if you are not prepared to embrace the Chinese lifestyle and culture, what are you doing investing your time and money studying in a Chinese environment?
Shandong University of Medicine provide various alternative learning activities and extracurricular activities. Some of the activities enjoyed by most of the foreign students and domestic student as well like learning calligraphy, tai-chi, football and other games and to take choir classes. More importantly, the universities also make it a point that the students demonstrate the skills they have learned by organizing some activities where students could perform in front of an audience of classmates, faculty and friends.

Early Start for New Students

Life in universities is considered by almost all students as the most colorful period in their life, though some may be discontent with the administration or education quality of their universities. Classes in most universities are arranged from early morning (usually 8am) to late evening (usually 9pm), and like in western universities, students select their own class schedule before the beginning of each semester, although an emphasis on major exists in China and a considerable proportion of a student's curriculum design is required by his/her major. Students take more classes than in other countries like the U.S.; it is not rare for an undergraduate in China to take 7 or 8 classes a semester, but this is definitely at the cost of the depth and time of practice for each class. Also, switching majors is still very hard, if not impossible, in many universities in China. Many students tend to consider the university administration in China insufficiently flexible to satisfy the needs of individual students.

Student Networking

The closeness of students as a result of their living environment especially crowded dormitories and dining halls has become the hotbed for the flourishing of entertainment culture as well as student organizations of all sorts on China's university campuses. Compared with former generations of university students in mainland China, students nowadays enjoy great freedom and diversity of activities both within and outside their campuses.

New Generation of Students

University life has included much more content which however may be also potential distractions to study than ever before: socializing, entertainment, attending internships, to just list a few, and especially the pandemic addiction to computer games and online chatting, which according to some professors in China have led to drop of learning morale as well as study performance in many universities. Also due to the ingrained emphasis on rote learning, many students do not study hard and postpone finishing homework for most part of every semester, and only cram right before the exam weeks. However, undeniably, the new generation university students are also feature by much broader view and perhaps greater critical thinking ability than former university students in China, and they are also more conscious of their own rights in the society and in their universities.
