Why is China University of Science and Technology called Nanqi Technical School?

The reason why the Chinese University of Science and Technology is called Nanqi Technical School is because the Chinese University of Science and Technology is located near Nanqili Station in Hefei. Nanqi Technical School is a name for students of China University of Science and Technology.

On the one hand, the nickname of Nanqi Technical School points out the geographical location of the school, on the other hand, it shows that the school is characterized by science and engineering, and it also means self-modesty. Just as Peking University students ridiculed that Peking University was Zhongguancun College of Arts and Sciences, and Tsinghua students also ridiculed that Tsinghua was Wudaokou Men's Vocational and Technical College, they were nicknamed according to the geographical location of the school.
