wl239 Posted July 18, 2008 at 06:56 AM Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 at 06:56 AM mzpeck: The application process to do a degree at Tsinghua as an international student is pretty straightforward - submission of a written application with letters of rec, personal statement, etc. in the fall, followed in the spring by a written essay exam and interview at the department for finalists. The application process is in Chinese and so are classes. I feel prepared, but doubtless it will still be challenging. Congrats to everyone coming to Tsinghua in the fall - only a few more weeks to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanWood Posted August 2, 2008 at 01:00 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 at 01:00 AM Just another person chiming in that will be going to Tsinghua in the Fall! I'll be on an exchange between the University of Calgary and Tsinghua to study Mandarin from September through January. Can anyone give me a ballpark date for the end of the Fall semester at Tsinghua? I've looked everywhere and sent a half-dozen e-mails but without any success. Any info will help, as I need to buy my bloody ticket. Thanks! - Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottledpoetry Posted August 3, 2008 at 06:04 AM Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 at 06:04 AM Hey Nathan, I looked at the chinese version of the admit letter, and it says semester goes until Jan 2009. There's usually a long break for Chinese New Year (Jan 28th in 2009) so we'll probably finish in mid January or third week at the very latest. Hope that helps. Are you booking a roundtrip flight? One way might be more flexible. **scratch all that, semester ends Jan 20th http://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/docsn/wb/lxs/Web2/EN/Announcement/20070115.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturegirl Posted August 23, 2008 at 10:55 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 at 10:55 PM 8. September, what about housing, are you all staying in the international dorms on campus or looking for own appartment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinagirl14 Posted September 4, 2008 at 12:59 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 at 12:59 AM i'm staying in the dorms but i'm a bit concerned as my letter states that i have to pay 6months rent in advance plus a 500rmb deposit... this means i have to bring with me around 14000rmb just to pay for my room?! is this standard practice or could i just pay for hte duration of my stay which is a sem which means 5 months at most?

naturegirl Posted September 4, 2008 at 01:32 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 at 01:32 AM That's quite a lot to carry with you. However they state that you can also pay with credit card. Other question, will you also pay the school's insurance (the 600RMB/year)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanWood Posted September 9, 2008 at 05:58 AM Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 at 05:58 AM Hey Chinagirl14, I'm sure you're probably here by now, but in case you're not the sad truth is you DO have to pay it all. I think my room was something like 11.5k 元 after the deposit. They do take visa though, so cash isn't the only option. Any other exchange students on campus right now that are as bored out of their skulls as I am? I'm the only Canadian that I know of at the moment, and I just want to get out of the room and have a conversation with someone. Well, now that I've come across desperate and all, here's to studying in another nation! - Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imron Posted September 15, 2008 at 11:54 PM Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 at 11:54 PM Posting your personal phone numbers on a public message board that is regularly scraped by search engines and who knows what else, is probably not that great an idea. Rather than posting your number directly, you might be better off leaving a message asking people to PM you if they want your number.
