My experience

I came to Qingdao through XMandarin’s student visa program, and overall it’s been a really positive experience. The visa part was actually the main reason I chose them they helped with all the documents and made the process much less stressful than I expected. Everything was handled professionally and on time. The classes are small and pretty flexible. My teacher is nice and explains things clearly, and the pace works well for me. It’s definitely helped me build confidence with speaking, even though Chinese is still hard :( The school has a chill atmosphere, and the staff is friendly. It’s not super formal, which I actually prefer. Also, Qingdao is a great place to live not too crazy, close to the beach, and with a nice mix of locals and internationals
