Types of International Students at Qingdao?

[sourmangoo]

Hi! I'm interested in studying either at Ocean University or Qingdao University.

I was wondering about the international student populations...how old are most of the international students (preferably who are focusing on studying Chinese)? I'm a bit on the young side, so I was wondering if most of my classmates would be graduate students who are a lot older than me.

Any views on the student population or campus life would be so appreciated!!

Hai Yang Da Xue and Qingdao Da Xue have both got big foreign student populations in all shapes, sizes, and colours, from just about every country in the world ranging in age from 17/18 up to mature students (50+ years old) so I don't think you need to be apprehensive. Sure you'll be able to find people of the same age range

Hi Gibbs & axelinchina,

Welcome to Qingdao! How about the chinese studying in Ocean University? Could you pls introduce the chinese class a little bit?

Can those of you who have been there now a bit tell me about the Ocean Uni? Do you like it? Or do you wish you had gone to a private language college?

Thanks!
