After reading this post, i went over to take a look at the "old campus". WOW! I have not seen a collection of so many old buildings in a small area. Very cool if you are into old Shanghai architecture. I took the #9 Metro to the Yan Ji Zhong Lu stop and it was about a 25 minute walk East to get there. And yes, you CAN tell which buldings are truly old and which ones are new. CJ

I was just told that the former St. John's University of Shanghai is older than the University of Shanghai — it was founded in 1879. The old St. John's campus, along Suzhou Creek, is now one of the campuses of East China University of Politics and Law. Here is what appears to be a relatively recent photo.
