Jawaban singkat
The universities

Northwestern Polytechnical University is one of China's defence universities and the country's leading school for aircraft design alongside Beihang — its alumni designed the J-20 stealth fighter, the Y-20 transport and the AG600 amphibious aircraft.
Costs and daily life
Xi'an is one of the cheapest large cities in China: CNY 2,400–3,200 per month in a dormitory, CNY 1,200–2,400 for a shared off-campus room. Noodles, the local speciality, cost CNY 10–15 a bowl.
The Muslim Quarter around the Great Mosque has a large Hui Chinese Muslim population and excellent halal food, which makes Xi'an particularly attractive to students from Muslim-majority countries.

The Terracotta Army, the Ming city wall — which you can cycle around in about two hours — the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Shaanxi History Museum are all within the city or a short bus ride away.
Xi'an is a rail hub for western China: 4 hours to Beijing, 6 to Shanghai, 4.5 to Chengdu, 3 to Lanzhou and the gateway to Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang.
