collegeschat/university-information

This is a crowd-sourced information repository about the day-to-day living conditions at Chinese universities. It focuses on practical details that universities do not volunteer during the admissions process but that strongly affect a student's quality of life once enrolled. The README is written in Chinese, and the project targets prospective Chinese university students who want honest, ground-level information before choosing a school. The kinds of questions the project aims to answer include whether dormitory beds are bunk-style or single, whether classrooms and dorms have air conditioning, whether private shower facilities are available and how far they are from the dorms, whether the school enforces mandatory morning runs or evening study hall, the cost and quality of cafeteria food, how hot water availability is scheduled, whether electricity is rationed in dorms, and what the campus curfew and dormitory check-in policies look like. The README frames this as the sort of information that can make the difference between a comfortable university experience and one that feels like a hardship posting. Contributions and data queries are handled through a companion website at colleges.chat and through the project's GitHub Discussions tab. Automatically generated Markdown summaries of the collected data are kept on a separate branch of the repository.
