The reasons as to why I am choosing to study the Chinese language at Peking University is due first and foremost for the universities historical significance in China and the world. While several universities and institutions in China offer similar study opportunities, I believe studying within a prestigious university would provide me an experience like no other. Additionally, I believe studying at this university would not only provide me with a strong foundation of the Chinese language but would also provide me with an authentic Chinese cultural experience. Lastly, I believe studying in Beijing, the heartbeat of China would provide me with a positive and lasting impression on the language, culture, and country.
