ECNU's summer chinese program is suppose to be a mirror of the chinese program in Beijing. So, it seems that the coordinators are still trying to figure out a few things. Classes are taught at a steady pace with different levels, but it is up to the student to determin how much effort he/she is willing to put forth into the language study.

Comentario personal

For serious students of chinese language, Beijing is the place to be. It is the political, cultural, and language center of China. Shanghai has too many distractions for it to be a city to study in. Also, it is China's most international city and the Shanghainese dialect widely spoken. Everyone can speak mandarin, but as part of the south, almost everyone has a southern mandarin accent. Standard mandarin is based off the Beijing dialect.

Si lo hubiera sabido...

How my pre-departing study plans completely sank as soon as I arrived. Watch out for "air-conditioning sickness" during the summer.

En mi opinión:

A todos les encantó, ¡y a tí también te encantará!

Recomendación personal

Chinese students are very accepting of other international students but reserved. They are natually very curious about new cultures, etc. For the most part, their english is ok.

Be prepared for A LOT of people (and bikes), they are everywhere. (nearly) Everyone wants to go to Shanghai or anyother large cities. Country is changing fast and you can see it everywhere. Treat everything as an experience and you will not be disapointed.

No...but an appreciation for/understanding of Confucian ideology, Chinese philosophy, Chinese cultural history, and qi will assist those unfamiliar with China beyond articulation.

En mi opinión:

Me gustó pero no necesariamente a todo el mundo.

Recomendación personal

ECNU is not a setting for social butterflies to flourish. If you truly desire to learn something about yourself, contemporary China, and making the most of what you've got, Hua Shi Da is an unrivaled opportunity.

You're only as alone as you want to be in China...travel alone (if you have self-confidence). Not only will you not be tied to anyone, but if you truly make attempts to learn the language, the Chinese will approach you and take care of you in ways that you cannot begin to fathom. It is unlike anything I have ever experienced anywhere else in the world.

Costumbres personales de gasto

Shanghai is China's most expensive city and while the exchange rate made spending very comfortable, some things are actually quite expensive and eventually all the prices adds up. The key is to have fun, but watch your wallet.

Vida nocturna:

Más caro que en casa.

Alojamiento, General, Viajar:

Igual de caro que en casa.

Teléfono, Comida:

Menos caro que en casa.

Comentario personal

Taxis are very convient and easy, but the expenses adds up very quickly. Department store prices are set to almost match the prices at home. Alcohol prices are very high as well.

Alojamiento

Tipo de alojamiento: En el campus

Organizado por: Universidad de origen

Si volviera, eligiría: En el campus

¿Por qué?

Being on campus provided access to the backstreets and a plethora of international students. Who could ask for more of a Chinese University?

Comentario personal

There was not a great deal of fitness equipment available and the rooms were relatively small. It was a University in China, though...what can one expect? If you value your space, privacy, and cleanliness, China (Hua Shi Da, anyway) is not the place for you.
