Students review the best universities in China

University rankings are nice, but you still have to make a choice between all these schools. And it’s not easy. To make it less complex, take a look at a few reviews of these universities left by past students:

Student from Tsinghua University

“Schooling in the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University is demanding but worthwhile. You have the world’s finest teachers and brightest peers. Thus, you can always learn a lot not only from the classes but also from your colleagues. In general, it is heaven for anyone who loves science. Apart from the knowledge about physics, I have learned how to work with others and carry out scientific research in Tsinghua. People in Tsinghua are kind and always willing to offer help. I think the friends I made in Tsinghua will be my best friends for a lifetime. In a word, schooling at Tsinghua University has been the most delightful experience I have ever had!”

Student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University

“Antai College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University has offered me an exceptional platform to pursue my academic life. I am certain the biggest benefit I gained is the well-structured curriculum, including finance, maths, economics, and programming language programs as major programs and various elective programs in the field of management, economics, and international trade. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills in order to accomplish further study and to achieve career objectives.

Also, SJTU provides remarkable career and alumni resources. The career coaching provided by the career development team assisted in finding out my unique interests and improving my career-related skills. And there are lots of chances to network with old students, helping me to acquire precious perspectives and suggestions from alumni and become ready to be an exceptional candidate for my future career.”

Student from Zhejiang University

“Initially, it was demanding and overwhelming because of the change of environment, the new language, new food and lifestyle. But schooling here has made me advance not just my medical knowledge but my personality. I have become more patient, tolerant, hardworking, empathetic, just to mention a few. I will be graduating a year from now, so I am trying to study harder and learn as much as I can while I make use of every opportunity at my disposal. Truly, my study experience has been life-changing. I’ve learnt a lot that it has made me want to enlighten and teach others too.”
