Nanjing University’s new system cheered by netizens, but can you trust college students?
In the West, college dorm rooms are mostly shared by just two students. But in China, most dorm rooms are crammed with 4 to 6 people, assigned only by their student numbers.
It means your odds of sharing living space with roommates you don’t get along with for four years is extremely high. Some of them may not want to turn on air conditioning in a 30˚C summer because they think it’s bad for their health. (This may or may not be from personal experience.)
