Friends of mine currently living in Beijing recommended the University of International Business and Economics to me. They had made good experiences with the language program there. I grew up in Beijing, we lived there from 2002 till 2008. Therefore I feel connected to the country and now, after finishing high school, I want to return and study Chinese, because I sadly don't remember a lot. I also want to meet new people and learn more about the county in general. I'm planning on studying International Relations after this year and i think that learning a new language and living alone in a foreign country for a year will help me a lot with that.
