The first tweet reads: "Who has a university student's room with three bedrooms and a living room?". This tweet sparked a heated discussion between Weibo users, with some expressing shock at the size of the room and others expressing envy toward those who have such spacious accommodations.

One user asked, "Where can you get such a big house?", to which another user jokingly responded, "You're ready to go." Another user quipped, "I want to know what university to attend to get such a big dormitory."

Another user also pointed out the vast difference between these rooms and the typical living conditions of most Chinese students: "This is the difference between people! Some people work hard for years and can't even afford a single room, while some are born with such beautiful houses. So, work hard!"

A college student's living situation has sparked a lively discussion on Chinese social media. Netizens were curious about the size and layout of the room, as well as the cleanliness and orderliness within. One user commented, "I envy! I can't imagine how happy I would be if I lived there." Another user said, "If I have this, I will never need to go out!"

Even more interestingly, some students' rooms seem to be even spacious than some houses. A student whose room had three bedrooms and a living room was mentioned in the tweet. Netizens were so amazed by the room, and they couldn't help but express their surprise.

The uproar about university students' living conditions has also drawn attention to the lifestyle of some Chinese students. Some argue that some students may be living in such spacious rooms because their parents can afford them, while others believe it is the result of the students' hard work and financial success. Regardless of the reason behind such rooms, Chinese university students' living conditions have become a hot topic of discussion on Weibo.

Overall, the tweets have unintentionally sparked an online conversation about the wealth and lifestyle of Chinese students. Many users have expressed shock and envy, while others have highlighted the differences in living conditions between students. The debate has expanded to include discussions about social class, financial success, and education.
