Studying at Fudan and living by Nanjing road in Shanghai

[Sebastian 10]

Hi guys,

I will be studying at Fudan this beginning September.

Also, I have a friend who proposed me to go to his apartment one block from Nanjing road.

Do you think that its far?

I'm planning on getting a scooter for my deplacements,

How long would it take me for the trip?

Thanks loads

Too far away from Nanjing Rd to Fudan.

It takes 45 minutes by subway, i guess.

Thanks.

Any other comment on this?

I think it takes longer than that or have built a line since then.

Some students came to play ultimate frisbee in the middle of the city and was 40 minutes subway and then 30-40 more minutes by bus (because of traffic) if they took a tax it was around 1 hour and expensive.

There are other schools closer to the down town, Jiaotong is closer..

I would go there first and then decide if possible.

Good luck,

Simon:)

Yes. Agree with you.

But there are two main campuses of Jiao Tong. The one you mentioned is in the downtown Xujiahui, but it is a bit small, also very beautifully, with old trees all around.

I am now studying in the other campus of Jiao Tong in Minhang, it is one hour of subway to People Square! But the environment is excellent!

Bless~~~

Why not live on campus??

Traffics in China is the only thing I don't understand about China even though I'm a Chinese.

Just keep in mind, if you wanna cross the road, don't use the pedestrian lights- people just drive as if the lights don't exist.
