To take a shower on rainy days, one can go to the shower room under the supermarket at Nan Yuan using the campus card system.

Students can also buy a low-power washing machine by themselves with the approval from their instructor and the dorm supervisor.

There are quotas of free water and electricity for each month; if the electricity quota is surpassed electricity will be cut. In that case, the student needs to pay fees through the charging machine at the dorm or canteens using campus card.

It is prohibited to store or use dangerous goods in the dorms, including electrical appliances with service power above 300W, controlled knives, destructive instruments, and flammable and combustible, poisonous and harmful chemicals. Each dormitory building will have security students on duty on the first floor by turns. The climate in Kunming is comfortable all the year round, so that there are no electric fans or air-conditioners in the dorms. Students can always buy electric fans themselves if needed.
