I moved to Shanghai in the beginning of 2015 and since then I became very interested in learning the Chinese language and the overall Chinese culture. I believe that Jiao Tong university will be a great place to strengthen my Chinese language skills and somewhere where I will be able to learn even more about the immensely rich culture of this country that welcomed me very well. Jiao Tong university has also been recommended to me by several teachers from my high school and also by many international friends due to its Ivy League excellence, the quality of its programs and its welcoming, internationally diverse environment.
