“Xi’an - a city with deep historical roots and a thriving modern metropolitan. That was the deepest impression I had during my short exchange stint.

 Campus life was very enjoyable. I had lots of fun with my international friends. We went shopping, KTV singing and spa. Together we also embarked on many “expeditions” around the region.  All in all, my SEP experience was truly an unforgettable one, not to mention the generous hospitality I received from the local and international students.”

“My SEP experience at Fudan University had been enjoyable and fruitful. I have not only learnt how to cook a simple meal and to live independently, I have also made many new friends and travelled extensively in China..

If given the opportunity, I will definitely choose to go on another exchange programme again because the experience that I gained can never be learnt from textbooks or by sitting within the four walls of our tutorial rooms.”

“There are a lot of “first time” and a lot of unforgettable events. Such experiences are precious and meaningful, I strongly encourage everyone to walk out of his or her comfort zone and go for exchange. Even if it means graduating a semester later, it still worth it! (But if you map your modules well, you will still graduate as per normal).

Financial problem is not an issue, throughout this whole SEP, I did not took a single cent from my parents. You can always apply for SEP award and SEP loan. (With these two, you can at least go to Asia countries like HK / China).

Here you see people who have a thirst for knowledge. It is not an uncommon sight to see tons of students standing and listening to lectures conducted by the most famous lecturers in China, and the library is almost always filled with students sourcing for books and more books.

The 3rd largest country in the world, with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, or one-fifteenth of the world's land mass, China is characterized by a continental climate.

As quoted from the Online Lonely Planet, “ China isn't a country - it's a different world”.

Indeed, from shop-till-you-drop metropolises such as Shanghai, to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China is a land of cultural and geographic schisms. With a grand total of 56 ethnic groups, dozens of dialects, cultures and numerous branches of mouth-watering cuisine, China is a land of diversity.
