In the United States, foreign language study is a staple within many middle school, high school, and college curriculums. Among the languages being studied within the U.S, and is becoming increasingly popular, is Mandarin. Yet, the culture, tradition, and lifestyle of China are inherently harder to capture within a U.S. classroom. That’s why each year, a plethora of students, whether it be for a semester, year, or four years, many internationals study abroad in China. So how do you start that process?
Here’s a quick introductory guide:
Find universities in China that teach in English that offer direct enrollment.
Look to China’s larger cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong) for many opportunities to study in China for international students that come with being the home of many large and prestigious Chinese universities. As such, hence, international students will be able to find a large number of international students to communicate in English with. A few universities that offer admission to international students include the prestigious Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua University
Joining an academic program or through a program provider.
Some programs of potential relevance include: Go Abroad China, CISabroad, USAC, or CEA With the intricacies and often-times complexity of dealing with housing, other logistics of moving to a new country with its distinct culture, a program that helps with such can help ease the transition between two countries. Additionally, program providers, often with regional administrators and guides, can be good safety nests in the face of possible language-barrier issues when coming to China.

我觉得你写的会给很多人很多帮助。比如我自己上大学的时候想去中国留学一忽儿。但是我目前不太了解真么留学。你写的Go Abroad China, CISabroad, USAC, or CEA我都会去看一看。
I thought that this was interesting. It seems like there are a lot of ways to study foreign languages in China. I thought that there was a lot of information in this article.
I like how America and China seem similar in the fact that they both want to introduce foreign language studies in their curriculums. It’s great to see that those that want to study English or any other language have the opportunity to do so in Chinese universities and within their curriculum. If I was a student in China, I would take advantage of such opportunities.
This article was very interesting. It is nice to know that there are many different languages that can be studied in China. People should take advantage of this opportunity to learn some.
Your article was well written. I like how you compared American and International studies as being different and noted that the culture in China was harder and more complicated to capture. I would definitely experience oversea international studies if I had a chance and would provide a great learning experience for us.
This was a very interesting article. Mandarin is one of the most unique languages across the globe, and people should be encouraged to learn about this great language spoken by nearly 1 billion people. However, I believe that the cultures behind the language should be enforced more because there are so many great life lessons to be learned. I definitely encourage oversea studies about this topic, and I would be interested in engaging in this study. THank you.
