“I'm studying here on a fully funded scholarship, which means I don’t have to worry about tuition fees, dorm expenses, or most other costs — such a blessing for international students!” she continued.
She starts the tour of her hostel right from the outside, giving a glimpse of the huge space students can use. As she enters, she uses her student ID card to open a gate at the front and then access the lift.
Upon reaching her room floor, on the 17th floor, she shows how students can use their ID cards or face scan to enter the floor.
What does the hostel room look like?
She takes the viewers through her hostel room, which is designed to accommodate four people. It shows efficient storage places designed all across the room for the occupants - complete with a table and a bed for each student.
During her tour, she captures the common bathroom area and the washing space, where students can use the washing machines for free.

How did social media react?
An individual posted, “So much difference in Indian Dorms & Chinese Dorms... I mean, look at the cleanliness, privacy, open environment, and free stuff like printing machines, the washing machine facility, and the washroom facility. The one thing I personally loved was the neatness and cleanliness. Living at a place like this can surely bring me mental peace, more productivity, good health, and the ability to feel more and more free.”

A fourth wrote, “Literally, you are so lucky!! I loved your vlog. I thought in C-dramas, they pretend they have such amazing cute dorm rooms, and you showed us that it's true. Omgg, make your parents proud, girlie!!”
