New Members MichaelC Posted April 19, 2014 at 09:49 AM New Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 at 09:49 AM Hello everyone, let me open this discussion because I plan to go study in Dalian. I saw on the website Cucas that there are several universities offering degree programs in Chinese language or Business Chinese. I have an intermediate level of Chinese. I lack knowledge about programs and their qualities. I'd like to know your experience in university in Dalian on the type of course, number of hours per week, the progress you have accomplished, life on campus (housing, food). Thank you.

simpleasy Posted April 20, 2014 at 02:09 PM Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 at 02:09 PM I can't really answer your question directly, but I have read some negative reviews about Cucas. (no personal experience there either) So I can't say that they are not trustworthy, however, since there are some people claiming that it's a scam, I would do some research before actually submitting an application with them. Then again, I've also read some very positive reviews about them. So don't let me scare you. They're probably fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members MichaelC Posted April 27, 2014 at 08:20 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 at 08:20 PM Thanks for warning me. Do you know what kind of issues were reported in the negative reviews? By any chance, did you have any study experience in Dalian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleasy Posted April 28, 2014 at 04:19 PM Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 at 04:19 PM From what I remember, most negative comments about CUCAS were questioning whether they are really an official agency supported by the government or rather just a company set up by an individual, completely separate from the government. Whether that's really a problem is questionable of course. As I said, I've read many good reviews too, so I wouldn't worry about it. I have no experience with studying in Dalian though.

roddy Posted May 1, 2014 at 09:09 AM Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 at 09:09 AM Michael, it'd be best if you have a look at the university index, find the universities you're interested in, and then ask specific questions about them.
