Registration will be august 29th to September 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourmat Posted July 11, 2007 at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 at 03:39 PM I think it also depends on which program you're doing. Im on the 20 week non-intensive course and that starts Sept 13th and finishes Jan 25th. You have to register between Sept 10th-12th...

fanglu Posted July 12, 2007 at 07:51 AM Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 at 07:51 AM Hey, I'm Luke from Australia. I'll be at BLCU from September 13 to January 25 doing the intensive course. (Which I hope I haven't made a mistake choosing. No one on these forums seems to have anything good to say about it. Oh well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted July 12, 2007 at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 at 09:53 PM Hi there, I'm Matt form Poland and I am going to study Chinese for a year at BLCU. My admission notice says I'll be living in Dorm no.2. Does anybody has any photos of this dorm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria.m Posted July 13, 2007 at 04:15 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 at 04:15 AM Term starts on September 13th, although you ha e to register between the 10th and 12th. Not sure when it ends (chinese new year or thereabouts probably), but the 12 week program ends on december 5th. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourmat Posted July 20, 2007 at 06:25 PM Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 at 06:25 PM Not sure how many of you guys are on facebook, but some clever person has started a BLCU group for 2007-2008 (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2225420973) and there's also a general BLCU group I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niicco13 Posted July 22, 2007 at 06:30 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 06:30 PM hello I am going for the 4 weeks classes that starts july 26. I sent the application around june 15and called for their reply. They said they sent me the papers but I only received the admission letter by fax..... I am worried bout the visa, as they did not send me the JW202 nor the application form. I currently have a L visa. Does this suck? Will I have to change the L to a F visa once in China? How? Do they check our visa at registration? Thanks a lot nicolas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted July 22, 2007 at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 06:54 PM Just 4 weeks of classes? You'll be fine on a tourist visa. You could ask at the embassy if you want, but I reckon for such a short period of time it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niicco13 Posted July 22, 2007 at 08:47 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 08:47 PM I assumed that for such a short term stay this visa would be okay....but wondered if they require our visa at the admission office......hope will be fine thanks adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:04 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:04 PM They'll be thinking "only four weeks - we don't care less what visa you have, where's our money?" Seriously, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members tester Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:26 PM New Members Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:26 PM Just testing, but while I'm passing Adrian is usually right Enjoy your stays at BLCU, and don't forget to come and tell us how you got on.

deezy Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:46 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 at 09:46 PM They'll be thinking "only four weeks - we don't care less what visa you have, where's our money?"I really HOPE they would think that way...but in their "NOTES TO NEW STUDENTS" letter in the admission package, they state:You must apply for an "F" visa. Otherwise, you cannot get registered. Err, I hope they're not too serious? Have any other BLCU students been able to register for a 4-week class on an L, not an F, visa? Just how willing are these guys to turn down 3500 RMB tuition + rent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
