University Of International Business And EconomicsThe University of International Business and Economics is a university founded in 1951, currently situated near Shaoyaoju, north of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, in the northern part of Beijing, within the Northern 4th Ring Road. It teaches major subjects related to business, economics and finance, including trade, management, commercial law, and related subjects. It absorbed the previous China Institute of Finance in early 2001. Buildings Seven buildings are either dormitories or double as dormitories-cum-classrooms. There is a major building to the northwest of the site, which used to belong to the China Institute of Finance, and another one at the southeastern side, with a few more under construction. There is a China-Italy audiovisual centre and an auditorium to the south of the site. Facing the now disused south entrance is Building Number 1, which has a very boxy architecture. Two canteens (with what some regard as overpriced meals) are to the northwest and to the centre of the site. Apart from sports areas, the rest is grassland -- although neglected at times, in particular during sand dunes. A microscopic pond exists, dubbed (with irony) the "Back Sea". The administration calls the university "the Switzerland of China", noting at its compact size. Opinions vary, with some coming out saying that, was the university better managed, it would come closer to its claim. Foreign Students Over 70% of the foreign student population are students from the Republic of Korea. Students from the DPRK, on the other hand, despite their proximity to the PRC, are very rare. Recently, there has been an influx of Western European and American students. Japanese, Indonesian and Vietnamese students also account for a sizeable proportion of foreign students.
