venture160 Posted July 4, 2007 at 05:00 AM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 05:00 AM If you are looking for something nicer, check out Shandong University's campus in Weihai, a coastal city. I know that there are a small number of foreigners studying in Yantai as well, another beautiful coastal Chinese city, both of them are in Shandong. These cities are by no means "remote" but they are much smaller than the big cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristotle1990 Posted May 2, 2009 at 12:18 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 at 12:18 AM How's about Shanxi Agricultural University? It's in a town of only 40,000, an incredibly small number for a place with a university. It is also a rural institution -- as the Wikipedia page says, it is "one of the few remaining Chinese agricultural universities situated in a farming area". I suspect if you're looking for remote, you will find no better place than this. Also, it is open to international students. In fact, a few Oberlin graduates are sent there yearly.
