CSA and BLCU in the Spring

The CSA staff are always willing to help out in the event of any dificulties and even if you just need a friendly word or two. They arrange all sorts of outside events and suggestions for an active social life as well as group activities and trips outside Beijing. They are always available to help with any visa issues etc.as well as advice on places to visit and generally wnyhtng you could possibly wnat to now about life in Beijing!

The BLCU program is hard, partly because it is generally an intensive course and partly because chinese is hard!!! The teachers are generally very helpful and there is a surprising amount of class readjustment, students can try out other classes if they feel they are not in the right one, hopefully everyne manages to end up in one that suits their needs.
BLCU also aranges a number of trips as part of their program: visits to the Great Wall and National Museum etc.

One of the other interesting things about the BLCU program is the amazing number of different nationalities in the different classes as well as ages from 17 to 60. You certianly have a whole new outlook on the world after time spent here.

I would highly recommend this program and CSA.
