Facing the competition brought by the declining birth rate, the university has been more dedicated in recent years to improving both software and hardware facilities to enhance its overall competitiveness.
The South Dormitory was completed over twenty years ago, and the original four-person rooms (with shared bathrooms) clearly no longer meet the needs of the new generation of students. Consequently, we reconfigured the cramped four-person rooms on the 5th and 6th floors (60 rooms in total) into two-person dormitories featuring integrated modular furniture for each individual. The sizes of desks, cabinets (storage), and bed sets were increased to be compact yet practical; communal spaces (including dining and DIY decorating areas) were also set aside, making the living experience more spacious and comfortable.
To reduce the time students spend immersed in the internet or confined to their rooms, we (compellingly) encourage them to step outside; this strategy also saved construction budget and shortened the schedule.
Our hope is that
by requiring students to step out for their daily needs, they will naturally engage in more activity, leading to increased communication and interaction.
For everyone:
Live in a great residence, but don't be a shut-in.
