Registered Student

As a result of Ying Fantian's return to China I was able to complete my registration and formally become part of ZJU. Although I was registered as an Industrial Design student, the nature of my work there was not really clear. What happened was that I went to the office where registration would occur and they asked me questions like who are you, why are you here, why should we let you study here, who is paying for you to study etc. Of course I did not have all the answers as it was a virtually informal exchange. Ying Fantian had advised me that he could be contacted if there were problems so I presented the registration officer with Ying's phone number and a short conversation between them ensued. After about 2.5 minutes of talking the officer hung up and said, "It will be no problem" and gave me a student card which resembled a small passport. My fees would be payed by the university and I would pay the international student accommodation fee. Still no information on what I would do for the year but that was going to be sorted out later.
