Electrical Requirements

Electricity in China is 220 volts, 50 cycles AC, so you will need to bring a voltage converter or transformer (and plug adaptors) for any electrical equipment that you bring. Most new models of laptop computers, however, are dual voltage, which is to say new laptops have a universal power source that can be used both in the U.S. and abroad, including China, without a voltage converter.  Read more...

Telephone and Time

Students at the China Center have access to a wireless internet phone with premium unlimited service through Vonage. This allows students at the China Center to call any phone number in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Italy, France, Spain, UK and Ireland for free. Furthermore, parents and friends of China Center students residing in the United States can call for the price of a domestic long distance phone call to New York, and the call is free to those living in Brooklyn (718 area code).  Read more...
