Tsinghua in '06

[Dani_man]

I write the instructions as the university sent me:

registration place: foreign student affairs office located on the first floor of Zijing dormitory no.22 near the zijing east gate.

route: fo straight northward from the west crossroad of the wudaokou subway station to the zijing east gate.

I think it would be easier to ask the cab driver to take you there, when you around the university block. ask for the zijing east gate, and you'll find all the other students looking for the place as well... :-)

good luck!

Just arrived yesterday, and I will be following up with the school to get all the details about registration and such. I'll put them up here when I get em.

Hey dp.mabey--Hoping you can help a bit here.

Would you mind sharing with us why Tsinghua after having spent a semester at BLCU? I am starting at BLCU on Sept. 15 (College of Intensive Chinese, not Advanced. Slated to take the 30-hour week course for a semester, perhaps a year).

I spent five weeks this past summer at BNU's Mandarin program, and although the teachers were fabulously nice, I thought they could have more demanding of their students. How was your experience at BLCU? Why Tsinghua now?

Cheers. Hope to hear from you soon.

I didn't see my name on the placement test list. Does anyone have an idea as to why? In the little information sheet I got it said that general scholars must choose their classes on line, but I'm pretty sure the only class i'm taking is Modern Chinese Language.

FYI The Summer language course at BNU is at a very different (i.e. slower and less formal) pace than the normal semester courses. Usually a different type of student too.

I would assume other places are similar.
