They will be studying in the classrooms prepared by local schools and colleges. Dormitories are also ready for them. The schools have hired Sichuan cooks to prepare the spicy food they're used to.

This is the biggest group of students and teachers to move from the disaster zone. Another 500 children are on the train from Beichuan. They'll arrive in Jinan later on Friday.
