Interest is super important I think because it keeps you motivated, especially when things got tough. Without interest, studying feels like a chore.

× I started at Anchor University of Technology, which is in my ancient A city in Anhui province.
✓ I started at Anchor University of Technology, which is in my ancient city A in Anhui province.
The adjective 'ancient' is used incorrectly here to describe 'A city'. It seems the intended meaning is to specify a city named 'A' that is ancient. The correct order is to place the adjective before the noun it modifies, so 'ancient city A' is correct. However, if 'A city' is a proper noun, 'ancient' should come before 'city' and 'A' should be after, or the phrase should be rephrased for clarity.
× The collaborative environment is both stimulating and positive.
✓ The collaborative environment was both stimulating and positive.
The student is talking about their past experience at the university, so the verb tense should be past to match the context. Using present tense 'is' conflicts with the past tense context of the rest of the answer.
× The university had a good reputation, especially for its mortality, and the facilities were decent.
✓ The university had a good reputation, especially for its morality, and the facilities were decent.
The word 'mortality' means death rate, which is incorrect in this context. The correct word is 'morality', meaning ethical standards, which fits the intended meaning of the sentence.
× The campers were pretty relaxing with a lot of trees and flowers.
✓ The campus was pretty relaxing with a lot of trees and flowers.
The word 'campers' refers to people who camp, which is incorrect here. The intended word is 'campus', which is singular and refers to the grounds of the university. Also, 'campus' is singular, so the verb should be 'was'.
