No regrets!

BLCU provides great quality Chinese instruction and I love the camaraderie my classes developed. The classes were a little big (around 20) and a little too long but the benefit I received by studying with experienced, helpful, and understanding teachers more than compensated for that. There's a very large international student body so it was great to meet and make friends with people from all over the world. The Chinese student population also made it very easy to find a language partner or tutor.

CSA went above and beyond my expectations. Free drinks in the office, organized events every weekend as well as longer, multi-day trips on holidays were great. Everyone was also very approachable if there was a problem that needed help or fixing. I'm personally indebted to one staff member in particular after she stayed with me at the hospital for the entire day after I had an accident on my bike. There's nobody else I would go to if I come back to study in China.
