Students feedback
I'm reluctant to leave this place. The summer school has been a fruitful experience for me, and UNNC has become my dream school. I want to say to my future self, 'I'll be back in two years.'
Student from Chongqing Nankai Middle School
I really don't want the summer school to end. I met a group of sincere and lovely friends. This summer school was truly meaningful, and it will always be unforgettable.
Student from Beijing Tongzhou Shuren Private School
Looking back on the two weeks of summer school life, in addition to the warm and friendly teachers and the fruitful classes, there is also the diverse cultural atmosphere of Ningbo, an environment of equal dialogue. Together, they make me understand that my life can be as vast as the wilderness. The guideline in the student handbook to 'respect classmates with different backgrounds' is something I will never forget. It turns out that every possibility can be understood, and you can become anyone you want to be. Grateful for the shaping influence of UNNC on me, looking forward to the next encounter.
