Campus

The university is situated in the eastern suburbs of Changsha, with views of the city skyline. The Nongda area is comparable to a college town or even an edge city and many residents seldom go to downtown because of heavy traffic and overcrowding on bus route 317. However, with the opening of metro line 2, going to down and traveling through Changsha has become a breeze. The university has a single campus, botoded on the north by the busy thoroughfare - Renmin Road (East); on the south by Liuyang River; on the east by lakes and the west by farmland.

The campus has eleven numbered academic buildings and several administrative buildings. There are four large-scale residence areas: Fengze, Zhilan, Donghu, and Jin'an. Each area has about a dozen halls. The residence areas are coed but halls are single sex. Most of the rooms in Fengze, Donghu and Jin'an accommodate four people with basic facilities. Lights out time is at 11:00 p.m. in all areas for undergraduates. Some students, both undergrad and postgrad, have chosen to rent in apartment buildings adjacent to campus for better convenience and environment.
