Housing
"I lived in an apartment with two graduate students. The apartment was unbelievable; I had a private Western toilet, a shower, a comfortable queen size bed, AC, heating, a kitchen with all necessary appliances, washing machine, and a huge living room. Really, it was amazing. I had several friends visit from CIEE Nanjing and none of them could believe how lucky I was."
- Kevin Keller, Spring 2010
