A visit to a dorm

The very first visit we had in Huangshi was a visit to the girls' dorm. Today was my first time to catch a glimpse of the boys' dorm, a huge complex housing about 2000 people. It was very surprising to see this many people living together as it's almost twice as big as Haverford. As I passed by each doorway I saw people either sleeping or playing computer games. This week is exam week, so most students don't have very much to do. Those who were sleeping were doing on the floor where it was much cooler than on the bunked beds. Each room houses 4 people along with a bathroom at the end. The room I was in was quite roomy compared to the other room I had been into previously and seemed that each student had their own personal space. One observation that I have made however is that students are very neat and clean and organized. Then again...all the rooms I've been in have been pointed out because of their cleanliness.
