This university is highly recommended as a suitable university intended for foreigners and the teaching of languages wherein the students appear to be content. A friend of mine currently studying in this university recommends it heartily, thereby having persuaded me to apply. Furthermore, I desire to learn to speak Chinese, Mandarin, and the Beijing dialect is said to be the most similiar dialect corresponding to Mandarin in its written form. Therefore I want to learn Mandarin in Beijing. Also, the teachers are reputed of being diligent, experienced, and resourceful. Additionally, BLCU is one of the few Chinese universities with wholly Chinese subjects devoted to the learning of the aforementioned language that is accepted and verified by the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund, meaning I will be supported financially if my application to this university goes through.
