Reasons from O****************
My objective is to learn Chinese well so that I can study my masters degree in Chinese next year. So I researched a few universities in Shanghai based on their ability to teach Chinese language that helps the student to be able to speak with an excellent accent and also provide a listening training that can help the student understand all Chinese accents.
Shanghai University was recommended to me because of the highly ranked Chinese language department.
Also Shanghai University's Chinese language teachers were also given a great recommendation due to their patience and good teaching skills with regards to speaking, listening, reading and writing. Due to these factors, I was convinced that Shanghai University is the best choice.- 2 Years ago

I believe by learning more and more languages, I will become a better person and be able to communicate with the world more effectively. I believe that Shanghai University will be able to offer me the resources I need to accomplish my goal fully. This is because I also share the vision of Shanghai University in how we should prepare for future challenges.

You can try to find your compatriots, but if you can't, don't worry, go to the ISU (International Students Union) in the dormitory hall, and you will get help. But, I think the best way to get yourself inside is to find a Chinese peer. After that I believe you will soon have a group of Chinese friends. Of course, if you still have any problem, go to the CIE office for help."
