Why should I study in china?

  https://www.istudy-china.com/      I think I’m pretty qualified to answer this one, because that’s what I did. I went to Beijing in 2008 to do a 4 year bachelor’s degree in “Chinese Language and Culture.” Or “Chinese business.” Or… Just “Chinese.” Depends who you ask. I have a few reasons that you SHOULDN’T do it, and a few reasons that you SHOULD. Whether or not you DO depends alot on your goals. Here goes: DON’T GET YOUR DEGREE IN CHINA Reason 1: The quality of education is a toss-up. My university initially told me that I’d do 2 years of intensive language studies, then I’d pick a major, and I’d spend my latter two years studying with the Chinese students. How immersive! Yeah except that’s not what happened. I never got the opportunity to select a major, I just had 4 years of language study. We never had any classes with Chinese students, and we were actually discouraged from interacting with them for reasons unclear. Reason 2: It might not work outside of China...

  https://www.istudy-china.com/  Everyone wants to study in China. The Chinese government has been one of the fastest growing countries in the world in the past few decades, and life in China has gotten better and better. The country has a stable infrastructure, world-class universities, and a huge market. However, the country is notorious for its hard labor and poor working conditions. China is a safe place, with the exception of Tibet and the far-west protests. The most dangerous part of China is the air pollution. It is full of both opportunities and challenges. It is also a very large and diverse country, and there is no one way to experience it If you're considering studying abroad in China, you've probably already weighed the pros and cons of the country's many advantages. You may have even considered how it would affect your career. But one piece of advice you probably haven't considered is the effect studying in China will have on your health.

Normal schools(college and pre-school not included)in China was way so different from schools in western countries. There are 40 students sitting in a classroom with no decorations listening to only one teacher and have hours of homework’s to do. A single class lasts for 40minutes and there’s only 10 minutes break among them(20~30mins for the noon) Students go to school before 7:20 and will have 4classes in the morning, and 12:00 they eat their lunch. After that there’s 3~5 more classes in the afternoon(only 2 for primary school) But anyway international schools was more similiar with schools in western countries and will be more creative and easy.

https://www.istudy-china.com/  If it is directly related to the future profession, of course, it is worth it. Although I would prefer the option of learning a profession in your country, and then (or in parallel) add the Chinese language, go to China to Chinese language courses for six months to a year. Let's imagine that there is a choice: to study as a programmer, filmmaker, lawyer in a small town university, or to do it in a top university in China. It is clear that in this case, it is better to choose China - and you will learn the language, and the knowledge you get is not worse than in your small university. A bonus is an experience of living in another country, broadening your horizons, and looking at the world and your homeland with different eyes. If the choice is between a ranked and well-known university in your country and an average Chinese university, choose the option where you will get more professional skills and abilities, connections, and useful contacts, and as ...
