Looking to study for a semester in China

[Ink15]

Hi,

 

I would like to study Chinese language for a single semester in China. 

 

I have about £2500 saved up to do this (including everything except flights - tuition fees, living expenses etc.)  Location isn't that important to be, nor is the university ranking as a long as they have a decent teaching programme.  Is this enough money?

 

I'd like to hear from someone with personal experience.

 

Also, if I study for a semester, what kind of visa will I get, and what kind of checks will I need?

 

Thanks guys,

 

Ink

Are you limiting your search strictly to universities? Or, are you also open to other learning options? For example, some of the language immersion schools come to mind.

I'd strongly prefer a university.

 

Actually I just found something extremely interesting at a university near Shanghai, they will offer me free tuition and accommodation, in return I need to tutor English for 8 hours per week.

 

That sounds interesting, right?

 

Are you guys aware of any other universities that have programmes like this? I searched on google unsuccessfully.

 

Thanks
