I don't really like to rip into people on a public forum but here goes. I worked at this "university" for a year, it was a disaster. Guangxi University promotes itself as being a "prestigious" university in China, nothing could be further from the truth. I was not paid for over a month and my visa was screwed up. I could have been deported. They wait till the last minute to do everything. The leaders in the foreign language department are totally incompetent. One professor was asked about a point of grammar by a student, he did not know and told a student to "go to the library and look it up". Another female professor did not know the difference between "can't " and the slang word for a woman's vagina, C..T! The campus at Xi Da is not beautiful, it's famous "lotus lakes" are dirty and polluted ponds with small toads, and at night, mosquitoes. I was told, "we don't care what you teach the students, just give them high scores on the final exams". This university is also in cahoots with a terrible training centre called SCI C. ( I E L T S ) I did not work for them but I know many people who did. There are three incompetent and stupid women controlling SCIC, Nana, Amanda, and Daisy. They can't teach, but they like to brag about their teaching skills. They just sit in the office and play computer games all day. They refer to foreign teachers as "the dogs", especially Amber in admin who is a stuck up snob. As for Xi Da itself, the accommodation is crap, there are often power failures and no water. There is rubbish in many places on the campus and there are rats. The uni is also "famous" for it"s canteens, but I can assure you the food is nothing but slop. I could say a lot more, just keep away!
