The University is located in Ningbo Higher Education Park, a leafy suburb on the outskirts of the city. The attractive, meticulously landscaped campus features many attractive spaces, including a Chinese garden and an English garden to symbolise the unique partnership behind the University's success. Distinctive canals weave through the University's extensive grounds, attracting many different types of birds.
 
Most of the students live in halls of residence. These are situated on a conveniently situated campus high street that has a wide range of shops, restaurants and other spaces for relaxation and recreation. 
 
International staff have the option of living in comfortable, modern apartments within walking distance of the administration block, teaching buildings and science and engineering laboratories.
