Semester in Beijing is housed at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE). With over 55 years of experience in international education, the UIBE lives up to its name and hosts 1,800-plus international students from over 70 countries. Located in Beijing’s Chaoyang District, UIBE’s campus is modern, clean, well designed, and picturesque.
The campus has about 20 basketball courts, a track, a badminton gym, Ping-Pong tables, volleyball courts, tennis courts, and an outdoor weight room. You’ll have plenty of opportunities for pickup games and exercise. Outside the west wall of campus, a strip of upscale Chinese restaurants, western restaurants, internet cafés, banks, and a post office welcome the newcomer and comfort the homesick. Outside the east wall are smaller restaurants, kebab stands, fruit vendors, and the bustle of donkey carts, kids, bikes, dogs, taxis, and students, all coalescing into a classic Beijing experience. But this, of course, is only the beginning. As you venture farther from campus, the University becomes your comfortable home base for endless discoveries. From UIBE you’ll easily explore Beijing’s epic history, impressive modernity, intriguing culture, incredible food, and various neighborhoods.
