I want to say it's best not to get your hopes up. As far as my personal taste is concerned, the canteen with big wealth tastes better and has more varieties. But Tongji's canteen is absolutely affordable and the price is absolutely reasonable. It is generally believed that the academy canteen has the best meals and the most kinds. In other canteens, different people have different opinions. Recommended dishes are popcorn, pork chops, cream buns, mala Tang, fried-fried, and fish chops.
There are some snacks and takeaways around the west gate, and there is a delicious Chinese hamburger. Be careful that it is not a Brazilian roast Chinese hamburger. There is a high-end hotel at the main entrance, and there are also cheap ones. There is a mocha coffee recommended. Tongji is close to Wujiaochang, where you can eat good food. There is a griddle frog walking west on Chifeng Road, which is not bad.
If you play, it depends on your personal hobbies. If girls go shopping, it is usually Wujiaochang. Of course, it is normal for girls to run far away for shopping. Boys play billiards or something. There is Xiao-Ting Pan billiards nearby. There is not much fun around Tongji. But the entrance of Tongji is the subway (the strength of Tongji city regulations. . . It's very convenient to go to all parts of Shanghai. If you have nothing to do, it's good to go to the Bund, Qipu, Qibao, Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road and Xintiandi.
The problem of housing is very serious, which is related to the major. All the boys who want to go to Jiading in their sophomore year, such as electrical, mechanical and vehicle, live in the worst dormitory. . . (The legendary Northwest Fourth, the legendary migrant workers' house. . . ) Girls are better. However, the dormitory in Jiading is quite good, which is a bitter experience. Majors that you don't go to, such as the dormitory for building city planning movies, are all good.
