After conducting research on Shanghai Jiao Tong University over and over again I've found that this university stands out amongst the others that I was looking into. Geographically the University is placed at the very heart of mainland China, Shanghai. The country's biggest and one of the most developed city, not only that, but also a global financial hub. This will allow me as a computer science student from a less developed city to explore a city with highly advanced technological crafts and communities.
