Tongji campus
The campus of Tongji is located in Shanghai. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at Tongji. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
