雖然去公共浴室自習讓人覺得有點怪異，但是學校負責人已經徹底對浴室進行了改造，確保其使用者最大程度地感到舒適和便利。

According to Shan Renwei, a lecturer at the school, renovations cost less than 20,000 RMB, with tables, chairs, and plugs fitted to every cubicle. The shower curtains were left behind, however, so students can ensure they are not bothered during their lengthy study sessions.

該校的單仁慰老師表示，學校投入了近2萬元爲每個隔間配備桌椅和插座等設施。而之前的浴室簾也被保留了下來，以便當學生在自習時確保不被打擾。
