shanghaikai Posted September 10, 2007 at 12:33 PM Report Posted September 10, 2007 at 12:33 PM Hi Loriquero, To be honest, I've only recently heard about a Chinese language program for foreigners at DongHua University here in Shanghai. In the past, most of the foreign lanugage students that I met either came from ECNU, Fudan, Jiaotong, Tongji, or Shanghai University...and maybe some SISUs. Let us know what the program is like over there! Quote
Loriquero Posted September 11, 2007 at 05:13 AM Author Report Posted September 11, 2007 at 05:13 AM Hi!! I am not in Shanghai right now, I had some transit visa issues in north america, but I think I will arrive to Donghua this weekend. the university looks pretty cool www.ices.cn I will tell you about the program when I finally get there cheers Quote
youpii Posted September 21, 2007 at 05:08 PM Report Posted September 21, 2007 at 05:08 PM Sorry, I didn't see the original post... DongHua is supposed to be an average university in Shanghai, not as famous as Fudan, JiaoTong, TongJi etc. But I don't think it's a big deal if you come to study Chinese. Moreover, they have two famous majors: Fashion and Modeling, so it's good to know if you have interest in this industry. The location is convenient: next to the YanAnXi Rd station (line 3/4). Welcome to Shanghai Quote
Loriquero Posted September 26, 2007 at 08:29 AM Author Report Posted September 26, 2007 at 08:29 AM thanks I'm already here in Shanghai, after so many transit visa issues (3 denied visa in a row in Canada and the United States... it's hard to be a colombian guy, and it's harder when my country doesn't have direct flights to China....) The University ir fine the most I love is that noone speaks spanish, so I can just improve my poor english with foreign students, and learn chinese with everyone else... In my classroom are just people from Africa and Asia... teachers are so good, the food in the canting is very cheap... My room is fine too. I'm happy to be here I'm going to stay here after the chinese course because I got a CSC scholarship in Donghua. Quote
youpii Posted September 27, 2007 at 02:53 PM Report Posted September 27, 2007 at 02:53 PM Haha, it's good to be a scholarship student Where did you get your visa ? Quote
Loriquero Posted September 27, 2007 at 11:53 PM Author Report Posted September 27, 2007 at 11:53 PM in the United States, in the second pay100buckstogetintousa tryout.... well... my scholarship is just the tuition Quote
buanryoh Posted December 5, 2008 at 06:10 AM Report Posted December 5, 2008 at 06:10 AM I'm thinking about studying Chinese here next semester. I was wondering if anyone here has studied Chinese at this uni before? If so, how did you find the teaching standards? How many foreign students study there? Any information would be great! Thanks!

Yanya Posted July 30, 2009 at 06:31 AM Report Posted July 30, 2009 at 06:31 AM Hello!!! I am going to go to Donghua University in august...Can anybody tell me something about it please??Or may be somebody is going to study here??? Quote
Loriquero Posted July 30, 2009 at 10:31 AM Author Report Posted July 30, 2009 at 10:31 AM buanryoh, sorry I didn´t see your post before, and this go to Yanya too... Well, what can I say, I have been in DongHua for almost for two years, and I really like the school; maybe is not that famous like Jiaotong or Fudan, but here I think they care a little bit more about the students; most of the teachers are fine (chinese program) and most of the foreign students are koreans or japanese (with many africans with scholarship). The location of the Yan An Road campus is quite convenient, near line 3 and 4 of metro station, a lot of buses in Yan An road... Is not even far of Jiaotong Xuhui campus (I can get there in 10 minutes by bicycle (going trough Anshun road) The rooms are okay, the school just enable a new building for foreign students, quite neat rooms, but they also seems to be a little be smaller than the old ones. Yanya: Anything else you can contact me by email Quote
CMacC Posted August 7, 2009 at 12:23 PM Report Posted August 7, 2009 at 12:23 PM Hello! I am going to be studying the Chinese course at Donghua Uni this year. Not sorted where to live yet - does anyone know what the on campus flats are like? Very excited about living in Shaghai just hope that it's not too far out of the centre! Quote
Yanya Posted August 14, 2009 at 12:23 AM Report Posted August 14, 2009 at 12:23 AM I am going to study this year too.Let's get acquainted! Quote
CMacC Posted August 14, 2009 at 08:20 AM Report Posted August 14, 2009 at 08:20 AM Hi Yanya! Are you doing the one year, full time Chinese course? I've just asked for a "type B" room & it sounds not bad. Arriving in Shanghai on the 26th - eeek not long now! Quote
Yanya Posted August 14, 2009 at 11:51 AM Report Posted August 14, 2009 at 11:51 AM Hello,CMacC . Yes,full time Chinese course.What is your name??;))) Quote
CMacC Posted August 14, 2009 at 04:46 PM Report Posted August 14, 2009 at 04:46 PM My name is Tina & am from the UK - what about yourself? Have you been told what books we need? What day are you arriving? Quote
Loriquero Posted August 14, 2009 at 07:44 PM Author Report Posted August 14, 2009 at 07:44 PM CMacC, The campus is not far at all, the place is quite convenient, clubs, restaurantes, malls... everything is near. Type B rooms are what they call "suites"? I haven´t seen them yet but I think they are very small, if is the double or the single room they are just ok; anyway, you can tell them that you just have money for pay one month of accomodation and then decide if you like the rooms or not. I´ll be back in Shanghai this august 31 my email address is just in the first post. Quote
CMacC Posted August 18, 2009 at 10:44 AM Report Posted August 18, 2009 at 10:44 AM Cheers Loriquero - the 1 month rent plan is a good one! 1 week to go!!! In terms of the Chinese course is there anything you would recommend bringing that you can't get in China? Quote
Loriquero Posted August 20, 2009 at 12:04 PM Author Report Posted August 20, 2009 at 12:04 PM Im not sure if I got that well... hum... Here you can get pretty much everything, but your favorite brand cigarettes Quote
