I'll share my thoughts about loneliness while studying in China. I'll also mention some examples of healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms that students use to deal with loneliness.

You'll be listening to realistic advice and genuine encouragement from a veteran college student. In this podcast, I will be sharing my thoughts and experiences during my college years as a foreigner in China. This podcast won't be about how to study in China, how to study mandarin or how to apply for a scholarship. But instead, it will be about the positive and negative aspects of studying in China. I hope my anecdotes and advice can help you get a better perspective of your current situation in regard to studying in China.
