If you wanna study in China, I 100% recommend you study in English, studying in Chinese is always hard, no matter what level of Chinese language you are, coming from someone studying in China right now in Chinese. btw Great video, Thank You.

From my experience, I have studied in Wuhan but many Chinese students and locals took the initiative to approach me and communicate with me in English. I made so many Chinese and international friends. Professors were our friends as well and they introduced us to a lot of cultural aspects. From my observation most of the other students do not go out that much, they prefer staying in the dorms, with people of their nationality sometimes, so they cannot have contact with anyone else but their classmates or countrymates.

Last year I was going to study abroad at ECNU in Shanghai. I submitted the form and tuition fees also my flight was booked. However, covid happened and I didn’t end up going because everything was over zoom and students had to quarantine in their dorms. I was so upset about it, but I still want to go. Hopefully I can try again sometime next year!!

This is such an insightful video! thankyou :)

ahhh i really hope i can study abroad in china sometime:) your experience sounds really great and bc my minor is in chinese i really want to be able to experience the culture while working on my language skills

Yes, language is a point. As a Fudan student, I am now in Amsterdam as an exchange student, but I am not one of those who are perfectly fine in English, as you said. My oral English sucks, and I can't always understand others, especially if they are native speakers, using a lot of slang or speaking super fast. When I was in Fudan, since Chinese students and international students don't live together and Chinese students may hold fewer parties, we also didn't have many opportunities to know foreign students, which makes me spend more time getting used to the multicultural environment in Amsterdam.

ahh, this really helped...I'm looking towards studying in China, but also would like to keep a few countries at heart just in case my mind had a turn...overall thank u for ur insight....I'm a med student finishing of my last year of school and am getting ready for a huge step :D

Beautiful China. Beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Kaja Sis for this 🙏

For most Chinese university is for study; whereas in America many consider freshman year is party time. Chinese students tend to gather with fellow Chinese students possibly due to lack of fluent social skill in English but then expat students behave the same.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a potential scholarship in China this coming September semester, I hope they will open the borders soon cause I prefer the physical class rather than online class. Also, some are against with me going to China but I have an open mind towards China that it's not bad as the media portrays.

In China the Chinese students would get in groups with the other Chinese. But also the Koreans with the other Koreans and the Japanese with the Japanese. The rest of the foreigners were the ones mixed between themselves. 😅

Good video. Although I think most of what you said actually applies to any culturally different country, it is worthy talking given the facts that 1. china is not an immigrant country 2. china was quite closed in the past couple centuries until recently 3. china has been mysterized and meanwhile demonized a lot. Speaking from a foreigner with her own experience is valuable for anyone non-chinese who wants to go to china.

I can tell you from personal experience that the most important thing is to prepare a VPN that can be used in China! Otherwise, Facebook and WhatsApp will not work properly. Remember, it is a VPN that can be used in China. There are many VPNs that cannot be used in China because the technology of these VPNs is too poor to bypass the government firewall. MetroVPN is the more reliable VPN I have used, at least it supports all my devices, iPhone, iPad, and Windows computer. The only downside is that it's not cheap, about $60 a year, but it's really professional.

Key point to consider - Check if the degree you are planning to study has value in the country in which you plan to work. My current employer requires a degree ... but it must be from an English-speaking country. The future value of your degree in the country and industry you work in is far more important than almost all other things you could consider. A degree from China, may be useless in your future in a way that a degree from another country may not be.

It's really helpful thank you

Hi. Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I have a question. Do you know if the Universities offer dormitory for married international phd students ? Or something like an apartment instead of a room? Thanks a lot

Having been to china i noticed that going out and partying is what young adults do after college. Not saying chinese college students dont go out they do, but not at the level they do after graduating

What if you already have work permit and would like to study at the same time using your existing work/resident permit ? (If the company allow you to do it )

Hi! How do you get the WeChat app? How do you manage the money cash or the app? How do you do the laundry? I heard that there are drycleaners for the locals, but how it is for students?

thanks. in the first 30 seconds you completely disuaded me lmao

Hi Kaja! Thank you for all ur information. I would like to ask. Is there any chance to visit other country? If you go for scholar ship to univerty in shangay. Is that allowed to visit out side China may be in the break. I would like to have an information about this.

Hi! thx for the informative video! I was wondering if it was difficult or not to get into the study abroad program to beijing university. Are there any requirements? Do you know about how many people they accept? thx a million!

Chinese students do consider their employment after graduation, foreigners apparently consider less of it. For various reasons, the Chinese job market is de facto closed to the average foreigner, unless the foreigner is a top expert in the field, high-level executive or an English teacher.

Love your video.can you kindly give me information about fashion design University. I really like to study in china on fashion design and apparel. It will really a big help.

I want to get a scholarship in China. A Chinese language professor told me that if my Chinese language is good, they will accept me even with bad points?? Do I have to have a bank account with a certain amount?? or another condition??and thanks

I can't wait to go and study in China, was gonna go but COVID happened

Hello! Now I m here because I have to decide to go or not in China. ACtually I have the scholarship but due to the pandemic situation, I stayed home. I was crazy to choose to study in Chinese, but my preparatory year didn't went well from home. So now I have to go there, studying in chinese with very little chinese known. Also, in the third of the forth year. Also with few classes that should be re-taken. What do you suggest? P.S Tianjin University

If it doesn't matter how good you are in Chinese how did you even take the Chinese test to get in?

So i am a bio student and willing to study in chinese universities.I am currently a Cambridge student and most of my classmates plan to go to America And Uk for further studies but i want to study in China.Plz someone could guide me how study life in China is

as someone who is a student in china i totally agree with what you said

Well, how did (do) you and your family/friends interact with international students in YOUR country? THAT is the question, my dear.

5:06 just curious, how would living in beijing differ from shanghai?

How would i apply for college in china? Do they accept finanical aid from the U.S?

What if my Chinese better than my enlish?

When you say lecturers speak in their second language. Is it to the point where it is very unclear?

I am interested in if a Chinese degree can be authenticated for use in the US, Canada, or other western countries, I kinda wanted to study in China but on my Z Visa. Also I think it is unfair how Chinese citizens can study abroad and still be accepted into society (as it should be) but here in China, foreigners despite the huge salary, are 2nd class. Like I'm pretty sure foreign exchange students can also work in the US, the university might even offer them a job. Many people break the rules and there is a market for it but still, there are places in western countries that are all Chinese immigrants and I think that's super cool. But in China when there's a lot of foreigners in a certain area, then it's deemed as bad and the police kinda discriminate against you, perfect example would be how people here perceive black people in Guangzhou.

if the program is in english, still do I have to learn Chinese?

What I didn't like was that with Chinese students or friends I was always the one making the effort or trying to reach out to them. Trust me even if you reach out few will ever be genuine friends.

Hi! Thank you so much for the very informative video! I absolutely love Shanghai and would be so glad to attend Fudan University in 4 years. However I was wondering is it possible to have both the student and work visa so that it could be possible to work part-time while going to Fudan? (I don't really know much about visa, I'm sorry if it's a dumb question >.

Thanks

你好老师早上好再见

hello! anyone from Nanjing Medical university? or Nanjing in general! would love to meet them as i took admission there :")

Does China offer full ride scholarships

Hi Kaja, I appreciated reading about your life in China in your book. But you never discussed the tough stuff going on in China. Did today's organ harvesting going on in China ever come up as a topic for discussion with anyone? I would think not, but I am curious about your experience about that.

Are there opportunities for entrepreneurship? Like for students?

International students got much better dorm than local students in Chinese universities

anyone at: BNU-HKBU United International College

I want go to study in china I'm 32 years

How did you get into the country?

I am a students in SUFE, just near the fudan university, very open to make foreign friends! if anyone wants to make friends, plz come to me!

Are you Polish? :)

Ahaha why did you had an Indian passport in your hand?

is it hard for you to attend fudan university ?

Is there any public transport like bus and train in China?

Great video that showed me some things I didn't know about Chinese University. Just FYI you have wrote 12:54 would I recommend you to study abroad. This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should be: Would I recommend studying abroad. The term study doesn't act as a verb it act as a gerund because the verb "recommend" is what you are doing and therefore study or studying becomes a noun.

this video is 2 years old....So now you can actually work

China is well behaved parenting country so that children don't get spoiled and don't get slipped from hands

Speak and breath

Is China big?

Polska Duma! ^*

Come to Pakistan .

CCP does not want foreginer's view to influence big majority of chinese citizen, simply becuz democracy vs singluar political power house are two opposing value.

I admire you for choosing China. That's like the last country on my list I would go to study due to censorship, communist regime and inhumane treatment of others (Tibetans or Uighurs).

your accent is wierd. doesnt sound authentic

Boring
