For me , that is too far, but it depends what's immediately around the campus. Nightlife is not important to me , but I would not want to endure a 40 mins bus ride to do some shopping or mooch around. Buses are often overcrowded, and sometimes not air-conditioned. 40 mins by bus may also be too long a journey for an ebike.

If this is the campus... (presumably it is)

Then you're in a great location. Close to Wuhan Tiandi which is an upscale shopping/leisure/restaurant/entertainment area. Just about walkable to a subway station. You are of course on the Hankou side which has less nightlife for foreigners than Wuchang BUT I would say it's more like 15 minutes (by taxi) and only about 20 kuai to any of the Western bars on that side of the river. No need to bother with buses. |

Thanks for your replies. I'm aware of the pollution problems in the big cities and will be taking whatever precautions I can. I think where the campus is might be a bit fresher anyway because it's not in the centre, although that could be an incredibly naive thing to say.
I got a lot of things cleared up from my email. I'll be living alone in my apartment which has two bedrooms which is pretty decent and 5 minutes walk from where I'll be working. Bills paid for.
She assures me we're not that far from the nightlife and good areas too. 40 mins bus apparently.
Although quite irritatingly, as I'll be there in summer, apparently in Hubei extra work is not allowed. Ever. They did mention something about getting me into the lab to collaborate with research so I hope they'll pay well for that!
Just waiting for some more things to be wrote into the contract then I'll be signing I suppose!
Thanks for your help! |
If you have a two bedroom apt then it is the same on the Jiagnan campus in Wuxi. Is it part of the Lambton program? if it is then they may have changed things around since two years ago. Who is your FAO and his he/she working for North American college/ Lambton College on the Jiagnan campus in Wuxi? I would try to get a hold of a current teacher . |
You are talking about a completely different university in a different province. He's going to Jianghan U. in Wuhan not Jiangnan U. in Wuxi. |
Thanks for clearing that up  |
