Why did you choose to study in China?

Most of all, I like the opportunity to choose additional subjects according to my interests. The university provides students with a large number of additional subjects to choose from, starting from the basics of psychology, style and nutrition, and ending with different languages and robotics, and students can choose whatever they like.

What do you like most about China?

I really like Chinese landscapes, mountains and sights. I also love Chinese food. It seems to me extraordinary and very tasty. My favorite dishes are baozi and Peking Duck. I also love Chinese high-speed trains, which make it possible to get to neighboring cities in just 20 minutes. These trains give me the opportunity to travel while studying, visiting different cities with their sights and traditional food, and studying Chinese culture through this experience. In addition, I like Chinese people themselves, namely their benevolence, openness and desire to help foreigners.

How did IFP help you improve your Chinese?

I came to IFP course without knowledge of Chinese, so I was afraid that
I would not be able to pass HSK 4 after a year or enter a Chinese university.
However, during the IFP course, I had a lot of lessons with interesting and
caring teachers, good textbooks and a lot of practice. The teachers carefully
explained the materials to us and gave us homework every day.  I attentively listened to the materials in
class and carefully did my homework at home, which helped me review what I
learned during the day. As a result, I achieved success for my efforts and
received offer letters from two CCN universities chosen by me.

How did you learn subject knowledge when you were studying IFP?

During IFP I had two subjects related to Mathematics and two subjects related to Economics. We analyzed the basic concepts of Math and Economics. We solved different tasks and discussed problems and their consequences. We also took exams to observe the assimilation of the materials.
