Are there opportunities to work while I am at the Center?

The residence permit issued to Hopkins-Nanjing Center students does not allow students to work while they are in Nanjing. Center students have had internships during the month-long winter break and during the summer, but there are minimal opportunities for employment to pay for fees or living expenses. A limited number of M.A. students may be awarded federal work-study funds, and will have the option of accepting work-study positions at the Center. The majority of students, however, should not expect to find part-time work while enrolled in the program.

Can my student loans be deferred while I am in Nanjing?

Yes. The Washington Support Office can process loan deferment forms upon matriculation in Nanjing.

Do I have to live at the Center? With a roommate?

Unless accompanied by a spouse and/or dependent, all students are required to live at the Center. Students who will be accompanied by a spouse and/or dependants must arrange for off-campus housing. Certificate students live in doubles with Chinese roommates. M.A. students have the option of requesting either singles or doubles.
