Western universities have also taken a creative approach.
Wang Yu remembers an offer letter she received from Purdue University in the United States in 2008.
"The student package had everything to impress me, including Purdue car stickers," she said.
Although Wang turned down Purdue and chose to study at the University of Pennsylvania in 2008, she said she was touched by the attention to detail.
"Colleges should attempt to provide things a new student might need," she said, adding that a good student package might win a student over if they had any doubts.
