I lived in Xi'an on two separate occasions. The first time I lived with a Chinese family for a few months and attended a high school called 铁一中. The second time I lived on my own for a few months and took language classes at 西北工大. Both of these schools are both in a close proximity to 西北大 and so I am very familiar with this area. Xi'an is my favorite Chinese city by far and all of my Chinese friends and family live there so I feel very comfortable there. I personally feel that 西北大 is one of the best universities in Xi'an and is a great choice for the major I want to study, International Economics and Trade.
