The university is located in Shanghai, which by being a metropolitan city is similar to the city i have been acquainted to during my teenage years. Should i attend the university i believe that my transition into the relatively strange environment would be much smoother due to my familiarity of the type of environment i would be in. The university is known to be one of the best in the province that it is situated in, and obtaining my education in this institution would make my transition into the work force easier as i would have come from a reputable university.
