Xi'An is a beautiful historical city which I would love to live and study in. I have already been to China for a three-week study experience and it was one of the most eye-opening experieces in my life. Being admitted into this program would allow me to further my Chinese studies (I have studied Chinese for five years in high school) and to engage with the beautiful and fascinating Chinese culture. I am looking forward to being in such an international environment and gain a deeper understanding of Chinese language and traditions, which never stop attracting me. I am sure Xi'An will be the perfect place to increase my insight into Chinese history and experience Chinese lifestyle.
