A medical university campus should be checked as a working environment, not as a collection of attractive photographs. Students spend years moving between classrooms, laboratories, hostels, dining halls, libraries, sports facilities and teaching hospitals. A green lawn or modern gate cannot show whether the facilities are accessible to international students, close to the medical programme, open at the right hours or affordable.
The safest method is to verify each facility by campus, location, access rule, opening schedule, fee, current condition and relevance to the student’s timetable.
Direct answer
Check campus, cafeteria and sports facilities by matching every claim to the exact campus used by the international medical programme. Confirm teaching buildings, laboratories, library access, dining halls, halal or vegetarian availability where officially stated, food-payment methods, sports facilities, student-ID rules, fees, opening hours, health services, transport and distance to teaching hospitals.
Use official university pages first, then current student evidence with dates and context. Do not describe a facility as guaranteed or available to international students unless the university confirms access.
Start with the exact campus
Large universities can have several campuses.
The admission office, international college, pre-clinical teaching, hostel and hospital may be located in different places.
Record:
- University
- Campus
- Address
- Medical school
- International office
- Hostel
- Main classrooms
- Laboratories
- Library
- Cafeteria
- Sports
- Hospital
- Transport
Do not review the university’s most attractive campus if the medical student will study elsewhere.
Campus changes by year
A student can begin basic sciences on one campus and move to a hospital campus for clinical years.
Ask:
- Which campus for year one?
- Which campus for pre-clinical subjects?
- Which hospitals for clinical years?
- Does the hostel change?
- Does the cafeteria change?
- Is there a shuttle?
- Does scholarship accommodation continue?
- Are sports facilities available at both locations?
A single campus map may not cover the six-year route.
Official campus map
Use the official map to locate:
- Teaching building
- Laboratory
- Library
- International office
- Hostel
- Dining halls
- Sports ground
- Gymnasium
- Clinic
- Bus stop
- Gate
- Bank
- Shops
Save the map and date.
Do not rely on a screenshot shared without a source.
Walking the route
The practical route matters more than straight-line distance.
Check:
- Hostel to classroom
- Hostel to cafeteria
- Classroom to laboratory
- Hostel to library
- Hostel to hospital shuttle
- Campus gate to metro or bus
- Night access
- Winter conditions
- Rain coverage
- Accessibility
A “five-minute distance” should state whether it is walking, cycling or shuttle time.
Teaching buildings
Confirm:
- Which building hosts international students
- Lecture rooms
- Small-group rooms
- Language classrooms
- Heating and cooling
- Accessibility
- Wi-Fi
- Study areas
- Opening hours
A photo of an auditorium does not prove that the student uses it.
Laboratories
For a medical programme, verify:
- Anatomy
- Histology
- Physiology
- Biochemistry
- Pathology
- Microbiology
- Pharmacology
- Clinical skills
- Simulation
- Computer or language laboratory
Ask how often international students use the facilities and how practical work is assessed.
Laboratory access
A university can have advanced research laboratories that undergraduates do not use.
Separate:
- Undergraduate teaching lab
- Clinical skills lab
- Research lab
- Postgraduate lab
- Shared central facility
The public profile should not use a research facility to imply routine undergraduate access.
Laboratory safety
Students should receive:
- Safety orientation
- Protective equipment
- Biosafety rules
- Waste handling
- Incident reporting
- Emergency equipment
- Supervision
Ask whether the fee includes consumables and protective clothing.
Anatomy teaching
Confirm the approach used for anatomy:
- Cadaveric dissection
- Prosection
- Models
- Imaging
- Virtual anatomy
- Histology
- Practical assessment
Do not make assumptions from one photograph.
Clinical skills centre
A useful skills centre can support:
- History taking
- Examination
- CPR
- Suturing
- IV access
- Obstetric skills
- Paediatric assessment
- Simulation
- OSCE practice
Ask which years use it and whether sessions are compulsory.
Library
Check:
- Campus
- Student access
- ID requirement
- Opening hours
- Weekend hours
- Seating
- Quiet study
- Group rooms
- Computers
- Printing
- Wi-Fi
- Medical books
- Journals
- Databases
- Remote access
- Borrowing rules
A large book count is less useful than access to current medical resources.
Electronic resources
Ask whether international students can access:
- Medical databases
- E-books
- Journals
- Clinical references
- Learning platforms
- Off-campus login
- University VPN where lawful
- Citation tools
Test access after registration.
Study spaces
The library may fill during examinations.
Verify alternatives:
- Hostel study room
- Teaching-building spaces
- 24-hour room
- Common room
- Cafeteria seating
- Reservation system
Cafeteria verification
A university can have several dining halls with different menus, prices and opening hours.
Record:
- Campus
- Building
- Floor
- Student or staff dining
- Opening times
- Payment method
- Average price range
- Vegetarian options
- Halal service where officially stated
- Breakfast
- Late meals
- Holiday service
- Distance from hostel
Do not describe one canteen as the entire campus food system.
Nanjing Medical University example
Nanjing Medical University’s official Housing & Dining page describes multiple dining halls, mini supermarkets, cafés, bakeries and other food facilities. It also identifies a halal canteen.
Its Sports & Facilities page lists indoor and outdoor sports options and explains that international students can use the stated indoor facilities with student ID cards and relevant fees, while outdoor services are free.
These pages are useful because they identify facility type and access rules. A current applicant should still verify the campus, operating status and present opening hours.
Halal food
A “halal canteen” claim should come from the university or a clearly identified current facility.
Ask:
- Official designation
- Location
- Operating hours
- Meal periods
- Closure during holidays
- Payment
- Cross-contamination controls where relevant
- Alternative nearby options
Do not infer halal status from cuisine or student nationality.
Vegetarian food
A cafeteria may have vegetarian dishes without being a dedicated vegetarian kitchen.
Ask about:
- Ingredients
- Cooking oil
- Broth
- Labelling
- Egg and dairy
- Meal availability
- Language support
Students with strict dietary needs should learn how to communicate them in Chinese.
Pakistani and Indian food
Some campuses or nearby businesses may provide South Asian meals. Availability can change.
Treat student reports as dated practical evidence, not a permanent university guarantee.
Food prices
Publish a range with date and source.
Prices vary by:
- Campus
- Dish
- Portion
- Subsidy
- Season
- App
- Cafeteria
- City
Do not publish one meal price as a universal monthly budget.
Campus card and payment
Dining halls may use:
- Student card
- Campus app
- Alipay
- WeChat Pay
- Bank card
- Cash restrictions
Ask how an international student activates the payment method.
Food allergies
Students with allergies should obtain ingredient information and carry emergency medication.
A cafeteria photograph cannot establish allergy safety.
Drinking water
Check:
- Tap-water guidance
- Drinking-water stations
- Hot water
- Bottled water
- Filter maintenance
- Hostel kettle rules
Supermarkets and daily needs
Verify access to:
- Mini supermarket

Sports facilities
Record:
- Gymnasium
- Fitness room
- Running track
- Football
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Badminton
- Table tennis
- Tennis
- Swimming
- Martial arts
- Student clubs
Do not claim every facility is free.
Access rules
Official pages can specify:
- Student ID
- Reservation
- Fee
- Membership
- Opening hours
- Indoor versus outdoor access
- Clothing

- Capacity
Nanjing Medical University’s official page distinguishes fee-based indoor access and free outdoor services for international students.
Gym fees
Ask whether the gym requires:
- Per-use payment
- Monthly membership
- Semester membership
- Student discount
- Health screening
- Reservation
A university gym is not necessarily included in tuition.
Sports clubs
Clubs can provide structured activity and social integration.
Check:
- International-student eligibility
- Language
- Training schedule
- Competition
- Equipment
- Fee
- Insurance
- Registration
Medical-student timetable
A sports facility is useful only when it is open outside classes and clinical rotations.
Check early-morning, evening and weekend access.
Injury and insurance
Ask whether sports injuries are covered under student insurance and where campus medical care is available.
Campus health service
Verify:
- Clinic location
- Opening hours
- Emergency contact
- English support
- Referral hospital
- Mental-health support
- Insurance process
- Prescription rules
- Vaccination
- Occupational exposure support
A campus hospital may provide basic care but not every service.
Mental-health support
Medical students can face academic, language and cultural stress.
Ask:
- Counselling
- Language of service
- Confidentiality
- Appointment
- Emergency support
- External referral
- Cost
Do not assume that “student services” includes professional counselling.
Emergency services
Record:
- University security
- Campus clinic
- Ambulance number
- Nearest emergency department
- International office emergency contact

- Religious facilities
- Community food options
City access affects cost and daily life.
Campus photographs
A photograph should be linked to:
- Exact campus
- Building
- Facility
- Date
- Source
- Permission
- Current access
Do not use the main gate of one campus to illustrate another.
Video tours
A video can show routes and scale.
Verify:
- Upload source
- Date
- Campus
- Editing
- Facility access
- Room type
- Opening status
Promotional footage may show spaces not available to the student.
Student reports
Current students can verify:
- Queue times
- Food quality
- Price
- Gym access
- Library crowding
- Shuttle reliability
- Opening hours
- Seasonal changes
Record the student’s campus, year and date.
One opinion should not become a permanent factual claim.
Campus visit
Where possible, a visit should follow a checklist rather than a guided promotional route.
Visit:
- International office
- Classroom
- Lab
- Skills centre
- Library
- Hostel
- Cafeteria
- Sports
- Clinic
- Bus stop
- Hospital route
Take photos only with permission.
Live video verification
A current student or university staff member can show facilities during a live call.
Ask them to show:
- Campus sign
- Facility entrance
- Current notice
- Student access
- Payment or booking information
- Route between buildings
Do not record people without consent.
Facility status fields
Use:
- Verified current
- Verified historical
- Access confirmed
- Access restricted
- Fee required
- Reservation required
- Student report
- Not verified
- Closed or changed
This is more informative than a yes/no field.
Comparing two universities
Compare the same categories:
- Campus used by medical students
- Teaching facilities
- Skills centre
- Library
- Dining
- Dietary options
- Sports
- Health service
- Transport
- Hospital route
- Access rules
- Fees
- Verification date
Do not compare a full campus report for one university with marketing photos for another.
A worked cafeteria example
University A has an official dining page describing several halls and a halal canteen, but the page has no recent opening hours.
The editor should publish the facility as officially documented, mark hours as requiring current confirmation and ask a current student or university office for updated information.
Do not convert missing hours into “open daily.”
A worked sports example
The official page lists indoor badminton, table tennis, basketball and gym equipment with student-ID and fee requirements. It lists free outdoor courts.
The profile should show:
- Indoor sports: available, fee required
- Outdoor sports: available, free under cited page
- Current schedule: verification pending
- Source year and checked date
This is better than “free gym and sports.”
Laboratory claims
A university overview can state that the institution has key laboratories. That supports research capacity.
The undergraduate profile should separately identify which teaching laboratories and skills facilities the MBBS cohort uses.
Cafeteria photos and menus
Menus change daily. Store:
- Example date
- Campus
- Canteen
- Price
- Dish
- Source
- Student report
Do not publish an old menu as a current guarantee.
Facility changes
Campuses renovate, close buildings and change vendors.
Keep:
- Previous record
- New record
- Change date
- Source
- Reviewer
- Impact on students
Annual review schedule
Recheck facilities:
- Before admission season
- Before new-student arrival
- After campus change
- Before clinical years
- When current students report a change
High-impact fields such as hostel, cafeteria and hospital transport need more frequent review.
Questions to ask the university
- Which campus will my intake use in each year?
- Which teaching buildings and labs are used by international medical students?
- What library access is included?
- Which cafeterias are on that campus?
- Is halal food officially available?
- What are the payment methods?
- Which sports facilities can international students use?
- Which facilities require fees or reservations?
- What health and counselling services are available?
- How do students travel to teaching hospitals?
- Does the campus change during clinical years?
- Where can current rules and hours be checked?
Parent checklist
Parents should confirm:
- Exact campus
- Hostel route
- Teaching buildings

- Image source
- Verification date
Final perspective
Campus quality is not a beauty contest. A strong medical campus gives students reliable access to teaching, practical laboratories, study space, affordable food, exercise, health support and transport to clinical training.
The useful question is not “Does the university have a cafeteria or gym?” It is “Can this international medical student use the right facility, on the right campus, at the right time, under clearly documented rules?”## Teaching laboratory verification
Ask the university for the practical timetable, not only a laboratory gallery.
Confirm:
- Subject
- Year
- Number of sessions
- Group size
- Equipment
- Instructor

A central office should not replace programme-level academic contacts.
Language support
Check:
- General Chinese
- Medical Chinese
- HSK preparation
- Tutoring
- Conversation groups
- Clinical-language practice
- Remedial courses
Language support should connect to the clinical timetable.
Student clubs
Official student associations can provide:
- Orientation
- Sports
- Arts
- Cultural exchange
- Volunteering
- Academic support
- Student representation
Nanjing Medical University’s international student association page describes departments that include academic affairs, daily affairs, sports, arts and volunteer service.
This shows organised student life, but current activity and membership should still be confirmed.
Club verification
Ask:
- Current leadership
- Registration
- Schedule
- Fee
- Language
- International membership
- Safety
- University approval
An old event page does not prove the club is active.
Religious practice

Ask whether the university publishes food-safety oversight, complaint channels or health inspections.
Do not judge hygiene from a single photograph.
Meal budgeting
Calculate:
- Low-cost campus meals
- Mixed campus and outside meals
- Dietary-specialty meals
- Cooking
- Delivery
- Clinical-year meals
Campus food prices can change.
Cooking facilities
Check whether hostels provide:
- Shared kitchen
- Refrigerator

- First aid
- Vaccination
- Referral
- Insurance documents
- Health certificates
Confirm what it does not provide.
Hospital referral
Ask which hospital receives emergencies and how transport works.
Pharmacy
Check whether a pharmacy exists on campus or nearby.
Students should not buy prescription medicine informally.
Mental-health crisis
Record the university and local emergency pathways.
A public profile should avoid claiming “24-hour counselling” without source.
Accessibility route audit
A student with mobility needs should test:
- Gate
- Hostel
- Classroom
- Lab
- Library
- Cafeteria
- Clinic
- Sports
- Bus
- Hospital
Accessibility can vary within one campus.

- Facility
- Caption
- Alt text
A public university webpage does not automatically grant republication rights.
Generated images
Generated illustrations can show a generic campus-checking workflow.
They must not be labelled as actual university facilities.
Facility filenames
Use:
`nanjing-medical-university-jiangning-campus-outdoor-basketball-court-official.jpg`
Only include verified facts.
Alt text
Example:
“Outdoor basketball courts and running area on the Jiangning campus.”
Do not write promotional alt text such as “best sports facilities for MBBS students.”
Captions
A strong caption includes:
- Facility
- Campus
- Access rule
- Source
- Year
- Limitation
Current student media
Obtain permission and remove:
- Faces without consent
- Student IDs
- Room numbers
- Payment details
- Health information
- Timetables with private names
Reverse-image checks
A campus image reused under several universities should be removed until verified.
Video-call checklist
During a live verification:
- Show campus sign
- Show route
- Show current menu board
- Show sports entrance
- Show student-ID access
- Show timetable notice
- Avoid filming private individuals
Facility audit report
For each facility, store:

- Current students report closure
A complete campus profile
A complete profile should cover:
- Campus-by-year
- Classroom
- Teaching laboratories
- Clinical skills
- Library
- Study space
- Dining
- Dietary needs
- Supermarket
- Sports
- Clubs
- Clinic
- Counselling
- Security
- Accessibility
- Transport
- Hospital route
- Images and sources
Final review rule
A facility should be marked verified only when the exact campus and international-student access are known. A university-wide claim is not enough when the student studies at a specific campus.
The most useful campus profile tells the student what can be used, what costs extra, what requires booking and what still needs confirmation.## A final campus-comparison worksheet
Use one row for each facility and one column for each university. This prevents a polished photograph from receiving more weight than practical access.
Compare:
- Medical campus used in each year
- Hostel-to-class route
- Classroom and small-group space
- Undergraduate laboratories
- Clinical skills centre
- Library hours and databases
- Quiet study space
- Main dining halls
- Halal or vegetarian evidence
- Average meal range
- Cooking backup
- Indoor sports
- Outdoor sports
- Fees and reservations
- Campus clinic
- Mental-health support
- Security
- Accessibility
- Campus bus
- Teaching-hospital travel
- Current verification date
Add a confidence field:
- Official current
- Official but old
- Current student confirmed
- Conflicting
- Not verified
Before paying a deposit
Ask the university to confirm in writing which campus the student will use, whether the listed food and sports facilities are accessible to international medical students, and whether the medical programme moves campus during later years.
The answer should be saved with the admission offer.
After arrival
Facilities should be checked again because allocation and operating hours can change. Walk the routes, photograph notices where permitted, save current menus and sports rules, and report material differences to the international office.
A facility page is complete only when it helps the student plan an ordinary week: where to study, eat, exercise, obtain help and travel to clinical training.## Final evidence standard
Do not mark a campus claim as verified because the university has a facility with that name somewhere. Verification requires the correct campus, current operating status and student access.
For example, “sports centre available” is incomplete. A useful record says which campus, which indoor or outdoor facilities, whether international students may enter, what ID or reservation is required, whether a fee applies and when the information was checked.
The same rule applies to dining. A halal canteen claim should identify the building, campus, source and current confirmation. A laboratory claim should identify whether it is used for undergraduate teaching.
Before publication, a second reviewer should open each source, match the campus and remove unsupported promotional language. When information remains uncertain, state “current access not independently verified.”
That wording is more useful than filling the page with confident but uncheckable facility claims.Keep the verified campus record beside the admission offer and update it when the student changes hostel, teaching site, clinical hospital or intake. Practical access matters throughout the degree, not only during the first campus tour. Always.
