Jilin University (JLU,
吉大 jí-dà for short) sits in Changchun (
长春) and is one of China's largest universities by enrollment, formed by the 2000 merger of the original Jilin University with four other Changchun institutions. It belongs to Project 985 / 211 and the newer
双一流 (Double First-Class) programs — China's tiers of nationally prioritized research universities.
