Why do you like most about studying in China?

As I study at a prestigious Chinese University, all my classmates around me are top scorers in their “Gaokao”. It is challenging for me to adapt to this competitive study environment, but it also motivates me to work hard. The people around me are very kind and helpful – my teachers, classmates and seniors.

Do you enjoy living in China?

Yes! Everything is so convenient here, especially the mini-programmes in WeChat. From buying my favourite milk teas to purchasing plane tickets, almost everything can be done within the app. Moreover, metros, buses and high-speed rails in China make commuting so much easier. I love the public transport here!

How did IFP prepare you academically for degree study in a Chinese university?

I was in the Humanities stream at IFP. During my studies, I was exposed to complicated Chinese texts, which increased my Chinese level and my comprehension skills. My Chinese teacher gave me daily practices which improved my writing skills. Now, I have no problems understanding complex academic terms.

I enjoy my time in China!
