Hello Hefei Expats,

I have just been hired by the Australian Institute of Technology to teach English for the 2011-2012 school year and I am excited to be coming to Hefei. I have some questions though. Does anyone know exactly where that particular school is located or the exact address? I have been doing some Google Maps satelite tourism and it would be nice to know where I can find it. Also, I have a friend who will be teaching at Anhui University, and I am curious to see how close that is to the Australian Institute of Technology. So if anyone knows where that school is located that would be helpful as well. Lastly, in a city of about five million people, what is the best way to get around? I look forward to your answers. Thanks.

I can't be sure which school you are refering to, I think you may be refering to GlobalEdu in the CBD Building.

Anyway,AnDa (AnHui University) is not far from the inner, 5-10 mins by taxi.

Hefei's population was 6 million back in 2005, way more now.

Thanks for the info on AnHui University and Hefei. I guess the source where I got the information about the city's population is outdated. I double checked the name of my school and its official name is Anhui China-Australian Institute of Technology. I don't know if that helps specify it anymore than before, but I thought I would give it a shot.

There are a number of Australia China Schools here, I need more info e.g. a road or contact number.

Anhui China-Australia Technology and Vocational College?

I finally found it. It goes by a number of different names, but its English name on their web site is: Anhui Zhong-Ao Institute of Technology. Its address is 312, Suixi Road, in the northwest part of the city. Does anyone know anything about this school or that particular part of town?

[Aussie Mike]

That is the school where they hold the IELTS testing.

Both UnDa and Anhui Zhong-Ao Institute are close to the city and are about 10-15 mins apart.
Zhong-Ao is a typical school to look at, not pretty but those who I've talked to who have worked there had no strong complaints.

Hope it helps.

So i got a meeting at Anhui Zhong-AO Institute of Technology tomorrow morning.
You want to give some details what its like etc?
 School looks ok i guess but some good info from someone thats worked there would be a big plus!

Anyone there at the moment or just finished?
