Beijing Language and Culture University was recommended to me by a very close friend of mine and a teacher from my last school. I am very keen on learning mandarin and have heard great reviews on the quality of teaching at BLCU. The course is perfect for me as it offers early morning training for six weeks which suits my summer holiday and so BLCU is an obvious choice from an academic point of view. As well as offering me a great course there are also fantastic facilities on campus, such as a gym, which is very important. As a rugby player, I intend on going to the gym as often as possible and at BLCU this is available.

To conclude, due to several recommendations, a course which is ideal for me and great facilities I have chosen to study at BLCU.
