I chose this university because I decided on a whim that I really wanted to get the overall Chinese experience and learn Chinese. I've learned that knowing Chinese is a huge plus in today's society and I really want to get to know Chinese at one of the best universities to learn Chinese in. I might not have graduated university yet, but I wanted to do this while I still had the time and leisure of being in a university, instead of trying to learn Chinese after I graduated and found a full time job.
