Unique admission letters reflect schools' character

Wang Yiwa was thrilled to receive her college admission letter from Nankai University in July. That wasn't just because the letter confirmed her admission. The letter itself caught her attention.

"The letter Nankai sent me includes a list of recommended books to read," the 18-year-old said. This meant she could start reading the recommended literature during her summer vacation, but she also treasures the letter's format and design.

Nankai is one of many universities to distribute unique admission and offer letters, designed to reflect the character of the institution.
