Videos showing students walking their dogs at a university in Taizhou, East China's Jiangsu Province, have gone viral online, prompting many netizens to say this is the campus of their dreams.

Dogs of different breeds and sizes run and play on the sports field while their owners, who are students of the university, were also playing with them.

A student surnamed Deng, said that the university offers pet-related majors, and students of these majors can bring their pets to school. 

There are also places for keeping the dogs, and students are also allowed to walk their dogs on campus, she said.

"Our teachers and students love animals very much. Besides dogs, other small animals can also be seen everywhere on our campus," Deng continued.

As more and more people in China keep pets, many pet-related majors have emerged, especially veterinary medicine, which has become more and more popular in recent years.
