Pros

Aesthetically pleasant campus and a vibrant environment at the SIP campus. The library has very good resources.

Cons

My experience as a foreign professor at XJTLU has been extraordinarily negative. The management of my division has fostered a culture of fear and punishment, undermining operational capabilities, stifling research output, and eroding morale to the point that eight full-time professors—all foreigners—are leaving this summer alone. International faculty have been systematically excluded from leadership roles, teaching assignments are constantly reshuffled to an impossible degree, and with the division unable to hire replacements, remaining staff have been told to expect exponentially heavier workloads in the coming semesters. If you are an international scholar considering XJTLU: don’t. I wish I had been warned before making the decision to relocate here.
