Students full of beans over rise of coffee shops

Western-style cafes are booming on college campuses as the number of foreigners studying at China's universities rises, and returnees cling to the habits they developed overseas, as Luo Wangshu reports.

Isabella Greene, a US student in Beijing, regards Harney & Sons, a coffeehouse near Beijing Language and Culture University, as the definitive cure for homesickness.

"It's very similar to campus coffee shops back home ... the music, the decorations, and especially the coffee. I can spend the whole day here, doing my homework or seeing friends," the Kentuckian said as she nursed a large cup of cappuccino.
