The office is a bit racist with Moroccans students and they don’t answer the student and they don’t help us in our studies. The teachers are suck at English and they don’t look professional. Also I feel like my knowledge still depends on my high school background. The worst part is

My experience at UESTC has been very positive overall. it is a strong university for AI and computer science (3rd in the U.S. News & World Report Global Universities rankings for AI), with good professors (it depends tho), Labs, and opportunities for students who are motivated to do research. The academic research environment can be demanding, but it encourages independent learning and research and gives students access to valuable research experience (it depends). campus life is comfortable, and chengdu is an enjoyable and relatively affordable city to live in.

as a grad student there is 2 campuses here, 1 old one new and looks great. the intl students dorm is in the old campus and it is so so, i rent outside. there is research opportunities. but the teaching quality as in the rest of china it is not great. teachers dont speak english well and there is not a big list of courses to choose from, i had to choose Cysec courses to finish my credits as an AI major. this is horrendous. xi an has great food and good weather.

i came here during the pandemic and only got a partial scholarship for the first year. if you wanna keep it you need over 90 in every subject which is kinda impossible lol teaching quality is really low, most teachers don't even know basic english and the international office is no help at all also a lot of students here just cause trouble, they get drunk and wake you up at 6am with noise. dorm is in bad condition, 3 ppl per room and i heard it's gonna be 4 now. i only stayed a few months then moved out and rented my own place only good thing is the food , easy to find and there's western food nearby overall i don't recommend coming here unless u really want to

i spent 4 years here doing my bachelor's in cs. my fav teacher was Wang laoshi, she was teaching chinese. during the whole 4 years i can say there was only like 2 good teachers, wang laoshi, and OS teacher, who retired unfortunately. the dorm is ok; 3 ppl in a room. the city is well connected. but this uni overall is not very good, the ranking is very low; please try to get into something better if you can; and if you are interested in research do not even think about coming here as there is no opportunities for that in there. if you want easy grading and just get a degree you can come. CS nowadays is all about self teaching anyways, the class programs won't give you what you need to work ofc.
