Reasons from F************************
I chose Ningbo University because it offers strong and comprehensive Chinese language courses. Beyond the language classes, it also offers cultural classes and optional electives, some of which I have an interest in, such as calligraphy and kung fu. Another reason for choosing the university is, it provides the students with opportunities to prepare for the HSK test, which is a major personal reason, as it supports my wish to pursue my masters in China, in a Chinese-taught program. In addition, according to reviews, the university is located in a modern coastal and affordable city, allowing for daily practical use of Chinese in a less overwhelg environment than big cities.
