I worked at WUST during my first foray into China in 2007. I actually liked the Dean (Roger Deng) and his assistants very much. They were very professional and fair. Pay was fine and on time. I can tell you that the school is a bit more organized than others I worked at, with the teacher expecting to complete certain pages of text and lesson book weekly. Actually, this made the teaching and preparation easy; the trick always was/is in adding fun stuff to the daily grind to make the time enjoyable to you and students.
There are different campuses of WUST. I stayed at the old one in Wuchang and it was a treat with old China streets and wonderful street food....the best noodles in all of China IMHO. You can PM if you want more. |

| I don't have any information about the school, but I've visited Wuhan a couple of times and I'd seriously suggest doing some research about what things are near the school, because from my experience Wuhan isn't a very interesting or convenient city. It's huge, but most of it is faceless high-rise apartments, etc. A lot of the good stuff to do there is spread out, which means you're going to have to travel for a long time to get there. I agree though, the noodles are great. |

I'd have to agree with the above, and I think the poster is being kind. In a country littered with polluted bleak urban hellholes, Wuhan has to right up there near the top.
A colleague in another city, who did a couple years there, said it was best for female companionship. He offered that the foreigner still had appeal there, and there was little competition surprisingly for a city so large. |

I've sent you a PM - never worked there but like you have been offered work there.
Wuhan, as other people have said, was a vast, sprawling city. However I found the subway useful for getting around. Pollution is also not great. Food was good though. |

I worked in Wuhan (Baibuting Gardens, in the south of the city) during my first foray into China in 2006 *waves at caleypatrick*
The city is enormous, the universities are huge, the choice of decent eats rises exponentially the more Chinese students you are friends with. |
