Young students gain glimpse of college life on winter break

Years before they reach college age, middle-school students are experiencing campus life at prestigious universities in Beijing by attending winter educational camps over their holiday break.

Living at the school dorm, eating in the canteen and attending humanities lectures by professors all give young participants a vivid glimpse of what real university life is like.

Wu Dalin, a senior high school student from Harbin, Heilongjiang province, said he spent an amazing five days last week at Peking and Tsinghua universities.
