I visited Tongji University today with Jane. She will graduate in June from this School. I learned a lot about the Chinese education system and the process the kids have to go through to get placed in a University. Her school is celebrating the 100th anniversary in May.

This school has a partnership with a University in Germany. I had to take a picture of the VW sign for Tucker.









There are water ways through out the campus and they reminded me of the city we visited last weekend.











The trees are blooming here which added to the beauty.

Bikes, bikes, and more bikes.

Fun facts about the Jane's experience...

She lived in a small dorm room with 5 other girls and had one very small cubby to put her stuff. She took one plastic tub with her that fit under the beds. There were two bathrooms for the entire dorm and none of the bathrooms had hot water. They could take a cold shower or they could go to a special building on campus and pay for a hot shower. Her dorm cost only 500 yuan for one year. That is about $65. Girls and boys have separate dorms. The ratio of girls to boys at this University is 1 girl for every 7 boys. She sort of liked that ratio.
