MinZu School or University in Beijing

[woliveri]

Has anyone heard of Minzu university in Beijing? I heard one of my former classmates was going to go there this fall but when I search on the web I can not find any info.

Thanks,

Sounds like it might be the 中央民族大学，which I would never have heard of if I hadn't lived nearby at one point.

That website is timing out at the moment.

If it's the university that Roddy mentioned, I've got this bit of info from a friend teaching there:

Central University for Nationalities in Peking: about 70% of the

students are non-Han Chinese, such as Mongolian, Tibetan, ethnic Korean and so on. A lot, though, are rather sinified and are not so different to normal Chinese but the main exception are the Uighur from the far west who look, and sound Turkish and write in Arabic.

Cheers,

Interesting,

My former classmate is Japanese and I know my teacher was helping her get into this school. I wonder why they choose this school over BeiDa or BLCU.

Also, I found this unofficial site:

I found three websites that might be useful for anyone who is interested:

http://www.cun.edu.cn/

http://encyclopedia.learnthis.info/c/ce/central_university_for_nationalities.html

http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~nkerr/

The first site is the official site for "Min Da" (as it is nicknamed)...it's in Chinese and I can't read it.

The second site will give you a great deal of info about "Min Da".

The third site is someone's personal site (like a journal) but it at least gives you three pictures of the university.

Hope that helps!
