Wang Tianyuan, a Foshan student studying in China University of Political Science and Law:
Foshan should give full play to the advantages as a powerful manufacturing city, with impressive craftsmen’s spirit and the remarkable achievement of supply-side structural reform in Foshan. It is necessary to combine the industry, university and research together, bringing the industrial innovation to the campus and allow the campus to offer high-level talents who can satisfy the market demand for private enterprises.

The hardware on campus has been developing continuously in recent years and the Bei Yuan new campus will come into service within this year, and the labs have also been upgraded. The university keeps close connection with enterprises to launch science and research cooperation.

Zhou You, a Foshan lecturer in Central University of Finance and Economics:
A first-class university is supposed to provide favorable salary and advanced teaching equipment, and more importantly a vast platform to appeal high-level teachers. As for a science and engineering university, Foshan University should offer labs and research institutions and other relevant resources.

Cen Yulang, a Foshan student in Peking University:
I have experienced the study in both Foshan and Beijing, and I found that in south, the opportunities for foreign exchanges in the schools were relatively less than that of the schools in north. I hope Foshan University can hold more academic communication meetings and cooperate projects with other better universities to co-cultivate students.

Huang Ziyang, a Foshan student in Renmin University of China:
Foshan University should optimize diverse methods on students’ cultivation and increase the opportunities to have social practice in enterprises and science and research institutions, which arms the university more competitive power compared with other local universities.
