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.
