Living in Owen at WBU, my freshman and sophomore years of college, I had it so good: two girls to a room, and just four girls sharing a bathroom and shower. Davis was even better. I had my own room, my own bathroom, and just shared a living room.
At ZhengDa, things are different. There are eight girls to a room, and they share a bathroom with at least 50.
Showers? They have to walk across campus for those, to the shower building, and pay every time they take one. But, there is no complaining. This is just normal for them, normal for all universities in China.
I have it so good here. I have a cozy little apartment with a bathroom and a shower! What a huge blessing. It is amazing how perspectives can change.
I have visited several of my students dorms. Here are a couple of pics:
Aw, good memories! :) I'm sure these students are very appreciative that you go see their rooms & spend time with them! :)
