Study in China

China

ChinaChina is a confluence of ancient history, modern technology, politics, manufacturing, and regional diversity. China is a vast country with a population of more than 1.3 billion and a civilization dating back more than 5,000 years. The country boasts spectacular cities with monumental skyscrapers, and pastoral country landscapes, still untouched by modern farming implements.

The influence of China’s long and sometimes tumultuous history is evident in many aspects of Chinese life including education, which has become a major priority since the Four Modernizations following the death of Mao Zedong in the mid-1970s. China has established itself as both an economic and political powerhouse, and there is no end to the educational, cultural, and personal opportunities that await you there.

China has many unique advantages as a study abroad destination. Here are ten reasons why you should consider studying abroad in China.

1. A Fast Growing Language

While Mandarin is a departure from the “traditional” languages that Western students learn, it is a unique, interesting language that may be useful for many career paths as it is growing in use around the world – some 900,000 people speak it.

2. Cheap Travel

Traveling on public transportation in China’s major cities is both easy and inexpensive, allowing you to make the most of your time.

3. Landmarks

Visit the landmarks that you’ve only read about in books. The Terracotta Warriors, The Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square…it’s all here waiting to be explored.

4. Friendly People

Though there are some cultural differences you should make yourself aware of, for the most part, Chinese people are friendly and have great hospitality. Communicating in Mandarin is a much-appreciated gesture.

5. Shopping

China’s cities are simply great destinations for shopping. Find everything you have ever wanted and more, often for much cheaper than you would find at home.

6. Gastronomy

China has a wide variety of food options, from traditional dishes and street food to high-end dining and Western treats. China is a great place to expand your palate.

7. Universities

China’s major cities have a number of great universities that offer courses in a wide variety of subjects. Don’t worry if your Mandarin isn’t great – there are courses offered in English offered at some universities.

8. Natural Scenery

Most people probably don’t think about natural landscapes when they think about China, but they should. China has diverse and beautiful natural scenery, from sand dunes, snowy peaks, and alpine lakes to rice paddies, deep gorges, caves, and mountains.

9. Cultural Understanding

China’s politics and people are sometimes painted in a poor light. Your China study abroad experience will help you gain a better understanding of its politics, social norms, and the issues facing its people today.

10. Life-long Relationships

The people you meet in China, whether in class, as part of a home stay, or just on the street, can easily become people you communicate with once you are back home and of whom you will have fond memories of for years to come.
