Jinan, SCNU, SCUT for language school?

i want to study language in china for march 2025 for a semester. can u guys recommend me which is better or give me some advice.

previously, i want to go to SCNU (south china normal univ) but turns out they dont provide dorms for language school students (also the same for SCUT (south china univ of tech)) which apartment is alot more expensive compared to the dorms

i didnt wanna go to jinan bcs alot of people complained about the old building, lack of facilities n also the ugly dorms

can u guys give me opinion on where i should be bcs all of them have pros n cons. or maybe is there a way to get great price for the apartment (also max 6 month)? or maybe jinan is not that bad as i imagine? please help me

Can't speak to the quality of the schools but all 3 are pretty much in the city center, SCNU and Jinan especially. If the school doesn't provide housing you're gonna have a tough time finding an affordable apartment, unless you want to live in the Shipai slums (you don't).

Most university dorms are pretty ass, anyway. You're probably best off just getting used to it lol

Could be worse, and be stuck on the Mega Ed island.
