Finally giving in to the pressure of pinyin norm-
alization, PKU is soon changing its outdated Wade-Giles name to Beijing University. Situated on arguably the city's nicest campus (featuring Weiming Hu, where visitors are free to visit), Peking University is well worth a visit to determine whether or not to become one of the nearly 4,000 foreign students (tuition runs about RMB 26,000 per year for language programs) - the second-largest group in the country - studying there. Don't bring too many friends with you when you visit, though. Larger tour groups are prohibited from visiting, but guards seldom ban random individuals. See also "Sackler Museum."
