Geography

The university is along coast and a 25-minute ride from downtown by bus No. 7 or No. 10, both of which terminate outside the railway station and quite close to one of the several long-distance bus stations in the city. The Coal College now named Shandong Institute is no more than a 15-minute walk from the university's north gate.
