Study hall takes over canteen

College students in Jinan, Shandong province, are making every minute count to get fully prepared for the upcoming 2015 graduate school exam.

Due to a shortage of study rooms, graduate candidates spend most of their day in the canteen to prepare for the big exam. The students' dedication has turned the canteen from a dining hall to a study hall full of textbooks instead of food.
