    thanks for uploading this, it’s cool to see what things are like over in China, honestly not as different as I thought it would be (currently in uni in America!)

      @@alexsimpson7048 Hi can you please tell me did you learn chinese before going to china or after you arrived? Were you able to learn Chinese while simultaneously learning at university or did you have to LEARN CHINESE FIRST! Then get admitted to university?
      I'm trying from my country for tsingua but I have no clue about the whole chinese learning process and how many years I have to spend learning chinese before I can actually do uni classes.

      @@reversicle212 Tsinghua have both English and Chinese taught programs. If you don’t speak Chinese yet, you can apply for an English taught program and learn Chinese while you are here.
      Personally I learned Chinese before I arrived, and took a mix of Chinese and English classes while I was here. To attend Chinese taught classes in math, comp sci, things like this, you need at least HSK 5. For philosophy, politics and some other subjects, you need HSK 6, since I guess there is essay writing. If you work hard, you can reach that level in approx 2 years.
      I’ll be making a video soon on how I learned Chinese and what strategies worked best for me, so hopefully that helps too :)

    Hi Alex I’m an Italian student looking forward to study at Tsinghua next year (Aerospace Engineering), since I saw you’re also doing your master I wanted to ask you what did they ask you during the interview, also was the interview fully in Chinese? Or a combination of Chinese and English? Cause I speak Chinese but I still cannot discuss complicated topics fluently. Sadly cannot find much informations about it

      @@tommasodallamico4531 for me interview was in English. I guess it will depend on your course, but there are quite a lot of foreigners at Tsinghua who don’t speak Chinese yet so I think most professors can speak both languages.

    the most elite university just selects the most elite students in china,and this might hard for you to imagine the one who can reach 700points in gaokao,though THU may fall a little behind those top universities in the world

    • @alexsimpson7048
      @alexsimpson7048  4 месяца назад +3

      yeah I think Gaokao is more difficult than the exams we take in the UK lol. For my admission they mostly looked at my undergrad grades + an interview. I got a perfect 4.0 GPA in a math/econ undergrad so I expect that helped me get in. Also I speak Chinese so that probably helped too.

      If you stay in dorms and eat canteen food it can be really low, about $500/month.
      If you eat outside campus, rent outside, travel a lot, things like this, probably $1000 to $1500.
