why i'm moving to china

Make sure to consider what culture you want to create your foundation in. If you plan on spending the rest of your life in china, a Chinese University is great. But if you intend to move back to the United States, a Chinese Uni may alienate you from your peers moving forward. Good luck nonetheless.

That would be useful in the diplomatic corps, I guess.

You might consider studying in Beijing for a semester or two before committing. The honeymoon period won't last forever. At this point you don't know what you don't know.

You're making the right choice.
The people telling you otherwise are frogs stuck in the bottom of the well that is the USA. They've not stepped foot in China, at least not for decades.
Chinese Americans are at a huge disadvantage in the US. You have to score 120 points higher than a white kid and 400 points higher than a black kid to get into the same school.
In China, as a foreigner, but also an ethnic Chinese, you have an ENORMOUS advantage for university admissions. Not only that, but it will be nearly free, and the dorms will be much nicer (foreigners get fancy dorms, the native Chinese kids get crappy dorms).

The only thing you need to understand is this: regardless of what major you pick, if you go to China for university, your degree will only have value in China. US companies hiring for positions in the US are not going to value your Chinese diploma, not even a little bit.

But staying in China and building a career there is the right choice. There are hundreds of videos on YT of people who made that choice and loved it. Don't believe what you read in the Western press about China. It's all lies.

guess you’re not into the 1st amendment

You go girl! Personally, I had a great time living there after graduating college

Have a great time 👍🏼

As long as you put yourself first, you'll thank yourself in the long run! Hope China treats you well, going to sub so I can witness your success🥳🫰🏼

go for what you want! you got this

I really love ur video.and really enjoy

I definitely agree with ultimately making the decision about what is the best for yourself, of course doing research and getting advice from international students who have studied in China before. I'm sure you will find success in China too, although there def will be some bumps along the journey just like all new experiences have.

I was also in a somewhat similar situation of making a personal decision, having to decide between an ivy and a scholarship to my state school (I applied for engineering). Almost everyone around me including my friends, relatives and neighbors said something along the lines of "Oh you should go to ivies because well... they're ivies", without really understanding my situation (I knew I couldn't afford the ivies). Sure they have good connections and networks, but I really wanted to go to an engineering school where I could get a debt-free, practical focused education rather than something that would be more suitable for grad school. Of course the opportunities may not be the same at my state school, but i'm a strong believer that if someone works hard and does enough searching, they will find the opportunities that they want regardless of how they started.

Also on a side note, could you accept my message inv on insta? My sister is applying to some bsmd's so I had some questions about those!

Well have a safe and happy journey 👏

Take into consideration the geopolitical issues at hand. the US and CCP might be involved in war in the near future. You will make the right choice, make a choice and stick with it! wishing you luck in your future endeavors!

I’m excited for you! You’re so young, go for it! If you wait til 40, it’ll be impossible!

You are, in fact, making a terrible mistake. I'll give you some reasons why:
1. Colleges are not academically rigorous in China. High schools are extremely competitive (for the wrong reasons IMO, but I digress), but college is a victory lap. People just coast through. Beijing University is basically like a public state college in the US.
2. If you are going into medical research, you're going to be extremely underprepared. Professors and post-docs are extremely focused on their own work and aren't as interested in mentorship or teaching, so you're going to suffer immense neglect.
3. It's going to be harder to find a job here in the US or anywhere abroad. People are going to profile you as a Chinese national. And anything that requires a security clearance is pretty much out the window.
4. You will be able to build much more important relationships here in the US if you intend on coming back here to work. College is a time when you will be surrounded by a lot of people who will end up in a similar place in life as you.

It's scary, but commit to it and give it your best!

Especially since this is such a prestigious opportunity, literally nobody will end up regretting this. Even if you ignore the education and career part, making such a big change and committing to it, will be invaluable to building your character in life, to face challenges, to experience an opportunity that few could even dream of.

The only important part is to not lose sight of your career goals, the pressures of which will likely hit hard once you graduate. Don't be afraid to change course if you don't see a particular path working out towards your career goals.

CHINA IS THE PRESENT & THE FUTURE. CHINESE UNIVERSITIES ARE SURPASSING USA UNIVERSITIES. BEST TO LEARN MANDARIN FLUENTLY. GOOD FOR YOU.

欢迎回家~Welcome to china~！

I think this decision is gonna save your life. I think the west is doomed and Im from the EU country. American and European leadership is stupid, corrupt and deceptive.

plz male a video about pku application process and tips thankkkk youuuu

Every time I go to China, I had so much fun. I was born there and moved to America when I was 4. Whenever I travel back to Asia I just wish I was born already wealthy and just lived there my whole life. There is so much things to do in Asia in general compared to America. I hope everything works out for you.

My main concern is the laws there. Maybe talk to your relatives about what kind of experiences they had that made them want to relocate here.

Let us know how it goes. Test this path out for my kids please. I could easily see sending them on this same path.

Fascinating! I taught English online to children in China for a while, and in the process my heart grew for the people in China (I actually started learning some Mandarin in order to connect with the owners of our local Chinese restaurant, haha). Personally, I would LOVE to visit China, but I would be very hesitant to do so. When I taught the children there online, I was told to be very careful broaching certain subjects with them, so that they wouldn't question what their government wanted them to believe. I certainly wouldn't want to put them in danger in any way. That being said, I would definitely be very excited about the possibility of going there! Hope you have a great experience!!

man good luck, pretty cool to study abroad.
hope you're taking mandarin classes before school starts. speaking is one thing but reading/writing deficiencies might hold you back in school if you're not up to par.

Mistakes are meant to be made. It's called living life - lol

It'd be interesting to see people's reactions when you tell them you're a foreigner. Do you have a foreigner accent when you speak Mandarin?

You will regret it, if you don't know china it will eat you alive.

It is a win-win situation as far I see it. Looking forward to follow your journey.

I am a Taiwanese who lives in China for 20 years. Here you might encounter lots of thing, some are good some are bad. However the only thing you will never have to face here is the constant subtle racism and the bamboo ceiling that you have to deal with every now and than in the US.

Only forward!

don’t know how true this is but if you plan to pursue medical school in the U.S., AAMC recommends to complete your undergrad in the U.S. as well since sometimes the course credits taken abroad are not accepted by medical schools..

✌✌✌

You could do the six-year medical program in China, and then transfer directly into US medical school. Call a few of the better US medical schools and see what their protocols are for that. My guess is that you would be given a fast track getting into medical school if you had already graduated a medical program in China.

I checked a lot of US medical schools and a large number of them require your degree to be from the US or have a certain number of credits/time in the US. It's also a lot harder to match into a residency with a foreign medical degree.

recently have to hear about the wonderful 2 year trip and teaching in Vietnam by my Vietnamese friend...and I said to him, at least you can speak and even read Vietnamese. Growing up, some of my family members, especially my mother kept saying you have to speak more Chinese...she or my dad didn't try to teach me Mandarin (because they only want me to speak Cantonese) and really didnt' even teach me to read and write Chinese characters....so, been in Canada for 46 years and i'm stuck in here, while China infrastructure is booming...and i be useless there.

Take it from someone who graduated from an Ivy (Brown), I wish I would have considered doing my undergrad abroad ... living + studying abroad will give you a global perspective + an unparalleled portfolio of personal/academic experiences that you can + could never obtain at an American university (even at an Ivy) ... more importantly, after 6 years in Beijing, you will be able to achieve near-native fluency in Mandarin + will understand China culturally like the back of yr hand ... most Americans think that their university system is the only benchmark of excellence + that is just not the case -- esp. at such an excellent institution like Beida ... IMHO, you can't go wrong studying at PKU + as an American citizen, you can always go to Cornell or UT Austin for grad school if you so choose in the future

第一，听来你还算正常。第二，中国有10百万新大学毕业生点年。所以，毕业以后你在那国没什么（好）工作机会了，和没其他国会想这么给你🤦

Congrats on getting into Beida!! That’s a tough admissions process. Beijing is wonderful. You will have a great experience!

I would take the path of convenience. If the plan is to come back to work in the US then i would stick with a US path. It just seems much easier. But if you see yourself staying overseas then a China university make more sense. Ranking of a university to me seems less important after working for a few years after graduation. Experinence becomes more important. Good luck.

Live a life of no regrets Eve!

for someone that is going to Peking next year for a double degree, it is so rare to see someone make vlogs about the uni! thank you for sharing

so proud of yourself and make you own decision and take responsibility of course

china is really good, i love china

so funny to watch your video😂

可能对于中国人来说清华和北大是很神圣两个大学
