The 2020 “Hardest College Entrance Examination Season” has finally come to an end. Right now, in addition to the college entrance examination results, the most concerned thing for candidates and parents should be to fill in their volunteers.
To say what is an important factor in determining the college entrance examination volunteer school, the professional ranking is indispensable, and the city where you are located cannot be ignored, but there is one item that everyone is worried about-the dormitory conditions!
Think about it, this may determine the comfort of life in the next four years or more, is it worth paying attention to in an instant?
However, when it comes to dormitory conditions, there is always a topic that has been full of controversy: which dormitory conditions are better in the north and south?

Which one is the best in North and South dormitories?
I don’t know why, but the upper class chatted with friends around him. Everyone always felt that the northern dormitory conditions were not as good as those in the southern. (Humble statement, north and south in my friendsThere are students, it’s not that we deliberately black the north. )
But is this really the case?
For this, we invited Little A from the northern dormitory and Little B from the southern dormitory to show up and say–
A: Our dorm has a fan
B: Our dormitory has air conditioning
A: Our dormitory has a long history
B: Our dormitory is super new and super modern
A: Our dormitory is close to the bathhouse, just a few steps away
B: emm, our dorm has a single bathroom
A: Our dormitory is dry and ventilated
B: Okay, our dormitory is booming all year round
A: You have cockroaches!
B: Yes, we have big cockroaches.
A: We are a quadruple room!
B: What? Is there a quadruple dormitory?
Okay, okay, it’s a draw.
But in fact, it’s not just Little A and Little B. Many students have something to say–

So after talking for a long time, it is still difficult to distinguish the winner or loser. Let’s take a look at the data survey again–
This is a statistical chart of the dormitory conditions of undergraduates in 985&211 schools nationwide in 2015. We selected the top 20 schools and made a simple statistics.
Northern University and its scores listed in the survey: Peking University 40 points, Tsinghua University 60 points, Shandong University 20 points, Harbin Institute of Technology 10 points, Jilin University 40 points, Nankai University 20 points, West Jiaotong University 30 points, Chinese people University-10 points.
Southern University and its scores are: Zhejiang University 100 points, Shanghai Jiaotong University 80 points, Fudan University 60 points, Nanjing University 40 points, Wuhan University 100 points, Sichuan University 100 points, Sun Yat-sen University 100 points, Huazhong University of Science and Technology 100 points, 40 points for University of Science and Technology of China, 100 points for Southeast University, 80 points for Central South University, and 80 points for Xiamen University.
From this data, it can be seen intuitively that the scores of the Northern Dormitory were generally lower than those of the Southern Dormitory.
If this score table is still relatively private, then the 2017 China University Graduate Accommodation and Satisfaction Survey jointly launched by Sina Weibo and Ideal Island may be more convincing.
This survey compares the “four-person room or less”, “independent bathroom”, “private bathroom”, and “air conditioning” in the graduate dormitories in the north and south, which are more attractive to students. As can be seen from the figure, In these respects, the southern dormitory is better than the northern one.

In this way, perhaps in terms of hardware facilities, the feeling of “the northern dormitory is not as good as the southern one” is not groundless.
The North-South Dormitory Fighting
However, what is the difference that caused the northern dormitory’s reputation to be worse than the southern one?
1. Number of people in dormitory
Under normal circumstances, the dormitories for undergraduate students in the north are mostly six-bed rooms, and there may be eight people in the majority, while most undergraduate dormitories in the south are four-bed rooms.
△The picture on the left is the dormitory of Beijing Normal University, the picture on the right is the dormitory of Sun Yat-sen University
It seems that the four-person dormitory in the south will be more comfortable. Not only the per capita living area is larger, but the dormitory relationship will be better handled if there are fewer people.
As for the reason, many northern schools have a relatively small area and a large number of students. The six-person room is also helpless.
Many universities in the north are old schools and dormitories have a long history. This has also led to the fact that the dormitories are not only relatively small, but also relatively old, such as stairs, concrete floors, and wall coverings. Like the dormitory of Peking University, it was 50 of the last century. Built in the years.
2. Toilet
When it comes to toilets, it also points to the pain points of many students from the north. After all, they have envied the independent toilets owned by the students in the south since they entered school.
Many Southern University dormitories have separate bathrooms, while northern dormitories share a common toilet on the same floor.
It’s okay if there are compartments in the collective toilets, but there are some male dormitory toilets that really don’t have compartments, which are “unobstructed.” The embarrassing scene of looking at each other when going to the toilet, let alone the fun, many people He didn’t even have the courage to lift his pants.
However, there may be some advantages to not having a separate toilet. Usually, you don’t need to clean it yourself, and roommates don’t have to avoid each other for who should clean the toilet.
3. Separate bathroom
After talking about the toilet, let’s talk about the bathroom. I believe everyone already knows the tragic experience of “the southern guy did not dare to take off his underwear when he entered the northern bathroom for the first time.”
△Northern University generally uses public showers, while southern dormitories are mostly independent showers
Public shower rooms, called “big bathhouses” by northerners, are a paradise for many northern college students and a hell for southern college students.
People who like bathhouses stay in it for an hour at a time, chatting while taking a bath; people who don’t like it can’t wait to rush away, for fear that others will see their body.
Sometimes, the big bathhouse is also very exciting. The sisters or brothers who have a good relationship can “talk together” in it, and take a bath without feeling lonely.
But I have to admit that the public bathroom outside the dormitory has brought a lot of inconvenience to the students.
For example, the bathroom of Yixiangyuan of Communication University of China is built in the cafeteria building. The first floor and the third floor are all places to eat. Only the second floor can take a bath. (a bit Wonderful?). Some students recalled going to Yixiangyuan to take a bath like this aunt:
The bathroom was damp in summer. After taking a shower, I walked back to the dormitory. I felt that there was another layer of sweat on my back.
In winter, you must blow your hair after washing, otherwise your hair may freeze when you walk back to the dormitory.
Just looking at this description, I think it is really troublesome.
However, there are reasons why the northern dormitories are mostly public baths, which are mainly related to climatic conditions.
The winter in the north is much colder than in the south, and people have high requirements for water temperature and room temperature. It obviously requires extremely high economic costs to meet such conditions in every dormitory, and public bathhouses have become a better choice. .
Later, although the economic level has improved, if we want to dismantle the old bathhouse and realize the private bathroom in the already built dormitory, this involves the laying of heating and water supply pipelines and the reconstruction of a large number of dormitory buildings. It also takes a huge amount of money and a lot of time, so such demands are often gone.
4. Air conditioning
Air conditioning is also one of the lifebloods of dormitory conditions. No matter how rudimentary the dormitory environment is, as long as an air conditioner is installed, countless points will be added immediately.
However, with regard to the hardware of air conditioning, the northern and southern dormitories have finally achieved a rare unification. In the era of poor economic conditions, most schools did not install air conditioning.
For example, the Huazhong Normal University in Wuhan did not completely solve the air conditioning problem in the second half of 2015. Before that, XiaWhen the day comes, the students will even spend the night in the air-conditioned gymnasium with their mats.

For a while, talented students even set up plastic swimming pools in their dormitories to play cards and games in the water to escape the hot summer in Wuhan.

Later, as economic conditions improved, some universities in the south took the lead in installing air conditioners, such as Nanjing University and Soochow University, and then some northern dormitories also began to install them. Some schools have unified installations, while others have liberalized power restrictions and allow students to install themselves.
(The high-ranking gentleman who graduated for N years: I can do it at my own expense! I don’t know how I spent four years in a Qingdao university without fans and air conditioning Ah!)
Therefore, the question of “is there air-conditioning in the dormitory” is really not a historical issue, it has nothing to do with geographical conditions, and more depends on the economic conditions of the school.
However, don’t be discouraged from northern students, we still have another magic weapon-once the heating comes out, who will fight for it!
North Dormitory is very wronged
Tucao returns to Tucao, but it can’t be summed up. In fact, although the southern dormitory is generally considered to have better conditions, there are also clear streams in the northern dormitory, and there are also “mud-rock flows” in the southern dormitory——

Some of the newly-used Northern University dormitories have good conditions!
Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Shahe Campus, which was put into use around 2010, has a very impressive dormitory. I’m sorry for this luxurious quadruple room. And it is said that there is a luxury laundry room.

For example, look at the dormitory of Tsinghua University, is it all right again?

In addition, some older dormitories in northern China are actually working hard to “make a facelift”.
For example, in the summer of 2018, Communication University of China used special renovation funds to update the underground pipe network in the North District that has not been replaced for more than 30 years. Although it is not an independent bathroom, at least the students are inside the dormitory. I can take a bath too. (Still a single room)
△The bathroom in the dormitory building
Actually, the so-called big pk of the dormitory is just a reference. Sometimes it feels very simple to hear other people’s descriptions, but when I really live in, I find that I am not so uncomfortable.

Moreover, shouldn’t the school’s strength and atmosphere be more important than the dormitory conditions? If Peking University admits me, then I have to say anything, right?
