Southwest University of Nationalities

The facilities and grounds of the Southwest University of Nationalities completely met our needs. The students stayed in the international student dorm and our classrooms were in the same building, which was next to a large cafeteria.

At top, you see one of the main buildings, there was a cafeteria in this first floor: the next photo is taken looking over the campus form a dorm room (and, to be fair, that is a storm passing by, not really pollution); next is the international building where the student dorm was and where classes were held; much of the campus was beautiful with lush vegetatition and here is an older building; there were plenty of basketball courts, tennis courts, and even an athletic field at the campus; a bulletin board, like those common on most US campuses; there were quite a few monuments to different people around the campuses, like this one, but because I could not read the Chinese characters, I did not really know who they were; there were at least four gates to the university and this was one, more historic looking than the others, and opened into the Tibetan neighborhood.
