The Government has greatly expanded university enrolment this year, hoping it will increase the pool of professional talent and boost domestic consumption.
But a shortage of accommodation and teaching facilities might affect the reform plan.
Last week 3.4 million high school students took the college entrance examinations across China and a record 1.53 million will be granted university places this September.
Although universities can accept more students, some new arrivals will have to forgo living the full college experience.
A lack of dormitory space plagues mainland universities and the situation is only expected to worsen when the school year begins in two months.
Twice this year, the Education Ministry has increased the number of university places available in an effort to boost the number of university-educated people on the mainland.
