Reasons from S***********************
Previously, I never imagined of studying in China because I was filled with all negative stories about China and the Chinese people. China was always portrayed as a place where nothing good can emanate from. It was only until October 2015 when I was given the opportunity of visiting China, to learn Practical Chinese that my preconceived perception about China greatly transformed. With its diverse and rich cultural background, full of hard working and sociable people, I discovered that China is full of new learning experiences, with the ability of transforming me into world class competitive. I find China the best place to study not only because I will be studying a course that is relevant to my current job, but most importantly because I will take it from a World Class university of higher rating.
