Marquis Posted June 11, 2006 at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 at 04:00 PM Hey all, this is my first post here so i apologise in advance if its in the wrong place. Before i begin ill quickly fill you in on my current status, im currently just starting a summer course at the BLCU after applying through an agency online and living with a host family for 3 months during my stay. Im from the UK and enjoying my stay in beijing very much. I have decided i would like to continue my studies for a further year (sep 06 till sep 07) and am now in the process of lookng for accomodation and a course at the BLCU. I I have two questions; 1) Can anyone tell me the best way to apply for the course at the BLCU, i applied online through an agency however they want something like 3,000 USD for service fees which i think it a bit of a rip of. Im sure it would be alot easier just to go to the uni and ask but it seems this is also alittle difficult. 2) I wanted to know if anyone who is currently living near the BLCU has/would have a room available in a shared appartment for this period. It would be a long stay so i would be reliable for rent, im a good house mate, can cook and am very friendly. Any advice on the above two questions would be greatly apprichated.
