"The large population, long history and rapid development in the economy make China wonderland for me. Meanwhile Shanghai, as the economic center of China means more opportunity for learning and self-development. After checking the website, I found that I could not only find majors I liked here, but also many fun loving companions. These are the reasons I chose Shanghai University."

Name: Victoria
From: Russia
Program: Chinese Language and Literature
Subject: How to get into the campus

"Getting used to life here is easy. You can try to find your compatriots, but if you can't, don't worry, go to the ISU (International Students Union) in the dormitory hall, and you will get help. But, I think the best way to get yourself inside is to find a Chinese peer. After that I believe you will soon have a group of Chinese friends. Of course, if you still have any problem, go to the CIE office for help."

Program: Sociology
