Student Life

PKU Shenzhen has world-class facilities that meet the various life needs for the thousands of students and staff of the university. From Olympic-size swimming pools to modern dim-sum, we have everything you need to live a quality life on campus.

As part of the University Town of Shenzhen, we have the benefit of having both small-scale facilities to meet our own needs and access to shared large-scale facilities, used in partnership with all the universities of UTSZ and the general Shenzhen public.

1. Shopping

There are two main supermarkets on campus: 7-11 and Quan Jia Fu, offering daily necessities, office supplies, fruits, snacks, and more.

2. Courier Services

The courier service center is located on the open ground floor of Dormitory 2, operated by China Post. Major courier services in China are available for sending and receiving parcels at this center.

3. Printing Services

4. Campus Card Top-Up

Students at Shenzhen University City are issued a general student card by Ping An Bank, which can be used for payments at the cafeteria, supermarkets, sports facilities, and other locations. The card can be topped up via the "Shenzhen University City Card Service" mini-program or WeChat public account, or through dedicated top-up machines. There are currently two top-up machines in the living area: One located to the right of the entrance to the Campus Life Service Center, next to Quan Jia Fu. One located in front of Cafeteria 1.

5. ATMs

The dormitory area currently has one Ping An Bank ATM and one Bank of China ATM. The campus card is a Ping An Bank card. For Ping An Bank deposit services, students need to visit the University City Campus Card Center/Ping An Bank University City Branch, located south of the University City Library.

Our campus is full of food to meet the needs and cravings of our diverse community. There is a wide range of flavors, price points and facilities with high standards for hygiene and food quality to ensure eating remains a daily highlight throughout each member’s time at Nanyan.

Also, as part of the University Town of Shenzhen (UTSZ), all of the UTSZ dining facilities are accessible for PKUSZ students and staff.

There are two canteens, or general cafeterias, on the PKUSZ campus. Canteen 1 is located in dorm Building 1 and Canteen 2 is located in dorm Building 5. Each canteen has two stories of dining options. The canteens serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at routine blocks of time.They focus on a wide variety of Chinese-style dishes.

Only a campus card or the UTSZ WeChat mini-program (linked to an individual’s campus card) can be used to purchase from the canteens. If you are guest to PKU Shenzhen, you should inquire about receiving a guest card for the UTSZ canteens.
