Studying in China

I would recommend studying in China for the cultural experience, but not for the educational experience. That is, unless you were majoring in something such as Chinese language, History, or something else that is directly related to China and can be best studied here.

Chinese students seek to study abroad because they know that Chinese universities are awful. I'm sorry to say, but education in China is a game. There is a problem with grade inflation in the USA, but it is far worse in China. One does not have to attend classes, can fail everything including the final exam and still get an A in the class so that the family can "save face". I speak from experience as a teacher.When students failed my class, they were given an exam by a Chinese teacher and passed, always with at least a C and sometimes an A. A Chinese college teacher will stand in front of the class and read the textbook. That is what most seem to do.

If you want to experience China, do a semester or a summer program, but don't plan on doing more than that. Get your education at home or in some other country.

Maple Leaf Foreign Nationals Schools (Dalian,china) offer a positive and engaging learning environment in an all-English, Canadian education program. Enrolment at these schools is open to all students from pre-school through Grade 9 who hold a non-Chinese passport. The program is accredited by the Ministry of Education from British Columbia, Canada, and all teachers and principals are BC certified educators. MLFN schools offer a diverse environment designed to enrich and support the development of students from international families living in China. [link moderated]

Absolutely not.

I agree with Jamjpa. Local Chinese knows that only top tier China universities value. Fake universities are everywhere. Instead, foreign university is valuable since English is still respected.
You can join a program from your home university which has one semester to study in China. Or, you can study in Hong Kong or Macao where English program is provided and uses many case studies about China industry.

Yes it's quite good to be here and do your study..

You are talking about top tier universities...what are they?

From the QS international Ranking, I see that Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University are ranked among the best 50 universities in the world.

Do you confirm?

Yes I do..

There was a "985 engineering project" in 1998 announcing 39 top tier universities. Then, there was another "211 engineering project" in 2012 to announce 100 second tier universities.

Ask all your Chinese friends about "985, 211". They definitely hear about it.

No no and no

Dear Priscilla,
I have no idea about the schools and universities in China and what the standard of education is. I am soon to find out. I have high hopes and I believe that foreigners just like myself are keen to teach Chinese students because they are very committed to their studies and very respectful towards their teachers.

It is most of the battle won.
