A wonderful Guangzhou University
Overall the university environment for study is awesome. Good research facilities and funding. I like the support from the academic staff as well as the teachers. Overall, university location is beautiful, study environment is excellent, research findings and Scholarships are better than other Chinese universities. Because, some professor support their students economically as well. And university also nominate students for an extra research funding base on performance. Nevertheless, I found only one limitations that the living hostel and faculties should be improved accordingly to international level. Because, different students from top universities come for PhD and they expected such a living environment where all facilities should be available especially the food. Because in China when new students come they have food problems so they can easily make the food in the hostel according to their choice. Unfortunately, according to the current rules the international student are not allowed too cook as well the didn't allow to keep refrigerator and other high voltage equipments. Finally, I highly recommend Guangzhou University for doctorate program.
Nice.. I like it
Everything is very well
