Actually, living here is very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, the facilities are good and new. I am among the first group of students to move in, and I have lived here for three years. The staff is enthusiastic and responsible, and the public areas are also great, with game machines, a gym, a study room, and a home theater. Regarding the keys, there are Bluetooth keys, so I don't have to worry about losing them. Overall, it's quite nice.

The room is very spacious, with a supermarket right at the entrance. It's about a 20-minute walk to the school. The front desk staff are very friendly, and the internet speed is quite fast. There's also a gym in the lounge. The air conditioning will be turned on in the summer, but there is no air conditioning in the room, so it might be a little warm in the summer.
