First of all, the climate here is much colder than that in the south. Although Dalian is better than Harbin, it is still in the northeast. It's normal to be below zero 10 degrees in winter, and it's windy here. Of course, if your home is by the sea, you should be able to adapt. There are also human factors. Northeasters are always different from southerners. There are good ones and bad ones. Imagine for yourself ~ Besides, the maritime canteen is more tasty. Their way of eating is more in line with the generous characteristics of the northeast people. See if you can stand it. However, Dalian Maritime, together with Dongbei Finance and Economics and Dalian Institute of Technology, has many places to eat nearby (there is one in Shaxian County, Cai Dong).
Maritime affairs is a school with strong science and engineering, such as shipbuilding, but the liberal arts are not so good. After all, Jiaotong University has developed into a comprehensive category.
Also, it must be mentioned here that the ratio of male to female is n: 1. Often there are not many girls in the class ~ personal problems depend on your ability.
The facilities here are still very good. The gymnasium has hosted Lang Lang concert and China trials of the World Table Tennis Championships, and the dormitory is no worse than that of southern universities.
Besides, the military training here is very strict. Our slogan this year is "treat girls as boys and boys as animals". You should be mentally prepared.
On the whole, Maritime is a very good school. After all, it is the Dalian branch of the World Maritime University, with bright employment and excellent value for money.
I hope what I said is useful to you.
I wish the college entrance examination a success!
