Re-done university website goes viral

By turning the background picture of its homepage to this... the Renmin University website achieved record-breaking visitor numbers.

It's cut-throat competition to get a place in a top Chinese university, but the competition is no less tough for colleges themselves to recruit the country's top talent. And China's Renmin University has come up with a fail-proof way to attract them, well at least from the sterner sex.

By turning the background picture of its homepage to this, the Renmin University website achieved record-breaking visitor numbers. But also some unexpected fallouts. The rush to see the beauty of the website, saw it break down due to over whelming visitor numbers.

Meanwhile, feeling their colleges lagging behind in the race, students from other colleges came up with their own unofficial recruitment web page and photos. Even though some might not be as savory as others. The collegiate race to attract eyeballs is definitely on.
