Renmin East Road is a new campus, where new students from old and new campuses report together. After applying, I still have to go to the old campus to live and study. There is a direct bus to the old campus at the entrance of the new campus, not far. It's convenient to take a bus.
The conditions in the old campus will be slightly worse than those in the new campus, but the community is very lively and close to the urban area.
No matter where, learning knowledge is the most important thing. You don't have to care too much about external conditions. The old campus is not as useless as you think.
I hope it helps you. May your dream come true.
