I.M Posted August 4, 2016 at 04:50 PM Report Posted August 4, 2016 at 04:50 PM @daren2503I will be at Hangzhou.Don't worry about your Chinese,I'm sure you will do great+ I really think that's a great opportunity for you @hannafit I won't be able to settle in my dorm before the 19 September and the registration is on the 20th. They told me come after the 15 but I still don't know when exactly are my classes starting, no replay to my emails
ferlingmule Posted August 4, 2016 at 06:11 PM Report Posted August 4, 2016 at 06:11 PM @hannafit Re: cabbing to the school. some schools do arrange a pick-up from the airport, but if you arrive outside the classic "9-5 working hours" it might behoove you to take a cab. Email with the school I guess? Cabs are pretty cheap compared to US prices, though, so eh. Make sure you write the address down, regardless of your Chinese level. Actually I would def recommend taking a cab since it's.... an experience. OH. Take a cab from the designated taxi spot. There's the illegal taxis, which can be dangerous, and when you exit the airport (in my experience) you have people yelling at you for a cab; just disregard them.

Alex_Hart Posted August 5, 2016 at 05:22 AM Report Posted August 5, 2016 at 05:22 AM @darren: I can't really offer any other advice besides calling! Emailing is iffy, and I know calls are expensive, but I've had the best luck doing that. @hanna: You got a schedule!? They just told me to arrive sometime between the 8th and 11th. I thought we'd be starting on the 10th (that's what they originally told me way back in May). I will be arriving in Shanghai around 3 pm, but will be meeting somebody there so I'm not sure if I'll immediately head to HZ (I may also stay another day as my Chinese teacher from the states is arriving in Shanghai on the 9th!). I will probably just take the subway to the school from the HZ train station. While cabbies in Chengdu were a joy, I had nothing but terrible experiences with people trying to take me for crazy rides in Beijing. Angelina or somebody else from HZ may correct me if I'm wrong, but I found the Chinese transportation system rather easy to navigate if you're feeling like taking the plunge! Also a great way to get a feel for a city.

daren2503 Posted August 5, 2016 at 11:16 AM Report Posted August 5, 2016 at 11:16 AM Hi everyone, Anyone from BLCU here that can help me to know more about the Dorms in BLCU please ? I know it's not the right topic to discuss on this forum but I have been sending messages on the 'BLCU Accomodation' forum but no answer has being received.
ml14229 Posted August 5, 2016 at 11:30 AM Report Posted August 5, 2016 at 11:30 AM Hi guys, is anyone experiencing problem in receiving the application package by post? My fellows italians who applied through the EU Window like me have received it more than a week ago, but I did not. Obviously I am sure my address is correct... I have emailed Mr Chen Gong more than once and as usual he's not helpful at all...he just replies "check your mail box" ignoring all the rest. Moreover, I have spent 10 euro trying to call the office and none picks up the phone but an automatic money-sucker voice. Any suggestion?
simpleasy Posted August 5, 2016 at 02:41 PM Report Posted August 5, 2016 at 02:41 PM @ml14229 Are they sending the packages through registered mail? (perhaps someone else from the EU window knows?) I know my embassy did. If that's the case they should have a tracking number and confirmation whether it has arrived or not. PM me with your whatsapp / wechat if you want me to call them. I'm living in Belgium so it's a national call for me, not that expensive

hannafit Posted August 7, 2016 at 02:44 PM Report Posted August 7, 2016 at 02:44 PM @I.M wow that's late!! well I'll hopefully see you sometime soon in Hangzhou!! @FerlingMule thank you so much for the advice! I think I might take a cab, I've definitely heard it's super cheap so no big deal. I had no idea about the illegal taxis, so thanks for the heads up!! @Alex Hart Yes they sent me a schedule!! If you want I can send a picture of it for you through wechat? But yep the 19th is when I start my classes This makes me very happy as I'll have plenty of time to adjust !! With the language ability test--is speaking included? I definitely want to be prepared for this so I don't end up in super beginners chinese like "Ni hao" I'd go crazy!! :'D so I definitely will be studying a lot more this last month! I'm not sure though that I'm ready to figure out the 地铁 with two big bags of luggage by myself so I will pass on it for now! but I definitely will be using it after I've arrived and settled in. Is the 地铁 relatively cheap? I'm just wondering when they'll give me my stipend money..probably registration day I'm guessing?
Alex_Hart Posted August 7, 2016 at 04:41 PM Report Posted August 7, 2016 at 04:41 PM @hanna: Weird, they didn't send me one! I'll PM you. Honestly, I've heard absolutely nothing about the test or how they even measure our level. I'm pretty nervous about testing into a lower level, too. Somebody told me that it isn't all that difficult to change levels during the semester, however, so that's something. What textbook are you using? And yeah, I understand! I'm bringing one piece of luggage and a backpack so I think I'll be OK on the subway, but wouldn't want to do it if I had two pieces of luggage. I'm not sure about Hangzhou, but the subway in Chengdu was really cheap and easy due to its newness (unlike American subways). I found it easier than cabs simply because I knew I wasn't going to get scammed. I ended up cancelling my plane ticket and rebooking with a 20 hour layover in Seoul, so I'm going to do a quick day tour of the city before getting to Shanghai at 8pm on Sept 7th. Not sure about the stipend. I'd bring some money to get you by for awhile, however. The Chinese bureaucracy is rarely your friend. 1
nvp18 Posted August 7, 2016 at 04:52 PM Report Posted August 7, 2016 at 04:52 PM Good evening guys, Perhaps its not the right place to ask about this issue.. Actually, i am taking a domestic flight from hong kong to reach my university. i want to know if students are given special rates regarding excess baggage. thank you
electrophile Posted August 7, 2016 at 06:44 PM Report Posted August 7, 2016 at 06:44 PM Does anyone know how the CSC scholarship normally works if our tuition fee is higher than the specified maximum amount on the CSC's website? The stated limit for masters students in the science and engineering field is 29000, while my tuition fee will be 39000 per annum. Are they going to cut my stipend? Does it depend on each university's policy?
