Tips

usage

Standardly refers to 华东师范大学 (East China Normal University, 上海) - one of the 'C9' tier of Chinese universities and a top teacher-training school. Note that 华中师范大学 (Wuhan, abbreviated 华中师大 / 华师) shares the rough form, so locals in Wuhan may use 华师 for the Wuhan school; in Shanghai 华师大 is unambiguous.
