Russ Posted July 21, 2005 at 03:35 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 at 03:35 PM Hi everyone, I'll do it straight to the point I want to learn Mandarin in Guangzhou. It has to be in Guangzhou because my Dad told me so (isn't it nice that I've narrowed it down to this one city? ) I've done some search on the internet and so far I only come up with Sun Yat-Sen university (Zhongshan university?). I've calculated all the cost based on the information provided in their website and with my budget right now, I can only do 1 semester (6 months), which will perfectly fit my whole current school schedule... which is great . My questions are: 1)Is there any cheaper university in Guangzhou which offers Chinese language programs for foreigners too? 2)Considering that the new college year always starts in September, do you guys think that it's possible to start at the second part of the semester (around March)? 3)I'll think about question #3 later, I'm sure I have one, but I'm too hungry to think right now Thank you!!!! whoever reads this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 21, 2005 at 07:54 PM Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 at 07:54 PM Forget to say about the expenses... School fee/year Tuition US$ 2100 Application US$ 50 Books US$ 60 ------------------ US$ 2210 Living cost SOUTH CAMPUS Double room: RMB 1050/month (=US$ 127) per year = US$ 1524 Single room: RMB 1650/month (=US$ 200) per year = US$ 2400 NORTH CAMPUS Double room: RMB 1380/month (=US$ 167) per year = US$ 2004 Single room: RMB 1200/month (=US$ 145) per year = US$ 1740 <--- I'll take this as an example Eat (assumption) = 100 euro = US$ 120/month per year = US$ 1440 Total expenses = US$ 5390/year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Turkey Posted July 22, 2005 at 02:09 AM Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 at 02:09 AM In addition to Zhongshan University, you could also consider Jinan University . The courses offered there would be similar in quality to those offered at Zhongshan. University language course fees are pretty much the same all over China. I don't think you'll find much variation.
