Hello -
Im going to Beijing this summer, and would like to hear about anyones experiences at either BNU or
BFSU. I've lived in China before (went to CNU) so I know what to expect as far as living
accomodations go and the like. Ive read everyone's posts about these schools, but I still want
some straight personal opinions instead of just information on how to apply.
As far as what im looking for, I dont care about Wudaokou, bars and stuff. I just want quality
teachers and a good program. Thanks in advance, and this forum is the best.

Hi Bastonata -

Some years ago I spent half a summer at BFSU (Beiwai) through an American study abroad program.
Now, since I wasn't directly enrolled, I can't speak to the exact experience you're wondering
about. Nonetheless, I *believe* the professors I had were largely permanent Beiwai profs. They ran
a tight ship, I'd say. Class was rigorous and time was efficiently used.

In my weeks there I met quite a few directly enrolled (yearlong or BA) students, and they seemed
pretty positive about the place. The one guy I remember in particular, a BA student, seemed to be
working pretty hard, to the point that he was complaining of finger cramps from practicing
characters. (I know my posting a remark like that is doubly impressionistic, but indulge me.)
Based on those observations, it's a place I've thought about attending myself.

I know this isn't much, but I thought I'd chime in, especially since I don't think Beiwai gets
much discussion here. Hopefully others will see your post and comment. You might also poke around
with the search function, see if you can't find more about these summer programs.

best

thanks derekws. I'm looking into them as we speak. I'll keep that in mind.
