A2A While I live and work at a Chinese public university, I have not studied here, rather I’ve been an ESL teacher, and now in administration. Living in China can and does have challenges for a foreigner. This is virtually inevitable for a person going to any country with noticeably different cultural and societal norms. How easy or hard this is has a huge amount to do with the attitude of the individual, and the nature of the people responsible for you while here. I think the attitude of the individual is the single biggest factor; however. The way you respond to things that happen strongly impacts how things turn out; in a society like China’s, where social harmony and face are the priorities in all interactions, a cooperative attitude and a genuine effort to learn and apply these principles, and earn some guanxi makes a huge different to one’s perceived and real experiences.

  https://www.istudy-china.com/      Related Have you ever thought of studying in china? Hi! My name is Clara and I have indeed studied and lived in China. I attended University of Nottingham Ningbo. So, did I regreted taking this decision? Would I do it again? Well, first things first. I want to clarify that I was an exchange student on an English speaking University. So this experience was unique in a way, since inside my campus all students and most of the staff spoke English, so my culture shock was not as great as somebody else’s. However, I traveled and visited many places, on my own and with friends. I absolutely enjoyed China, even though the first weeks I struggled a bit adapting into life there. As I mentioned it was not a great deal of a shock but some details kept piling up and somehow I had to embrace them. For example, China’s cuisine, times of having lunch, classes with chinese students, etc. But my great culture shock came after a couple of months since I went on a trip

  https://www.istudy-china.com/    Related How do you feel about studying in China? I’ve had friends study in China and love it. My own children started school there, and I’ve taught there. My daughter’s godmother is from Hong Kong. I loved China. It’s relatively safe for westerners, though the primary school (countryside China) was unsure how to handle a foreigner - they were far more anxious than I was. The people in general were friendly, and fascinated with foreigners. The country and the culture are amazing and there are some good universities to be found. It’s a more difficult place to get around than some others, but it’s a wonderful adventure. If you’re inspired, go and try it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The qualities of Chinese universities varies greatly, and i think you should check which university you would like to attend. For example, one of my friend in Jiaotong University says that she need to do a lot of research and homework in her spare time, and the workload is almost as heavy as those US top universities. However, another guy in a private university (p.s:private universities are usually not good ranking ones, and most Shanghai parents consider them backups to ensure that their kids' college degree.) says that he often cut classes in order to play Dota in the dorm. I believe that you should choose top universities like Jiaotong, Fudan, Tongji if you want to go Shanghai, or Tsinghua, Peking in Beijing. By the way, I believe metropolises are better for foreigners.(And the admission is far easier for foreigners) Afte
