Hi Larksong,
I'd just like to stress that (tell me if I'm wrong) the campus you will be living in is in Xiasha, which isn't really in Hangzhou.
See my quote from a previous thread
' xiasha is a dull suburb, nothing more nothing less. not a horrible place, but it's a good 2 hours onthe public transport from hangzhou city center, and therefore, not really in the same city.
Hangzhou is wonderful. Xiasha is dull dull dull. '
so, be forewarned. I recommend you start googling (and try the search function here too) Xiasha, not Hangzhou, as that's where you'll be living. Hangzhou will be a weekend/daytrip for you, not where you'll be living.
