That indeed is a good question. Personally I would study in Beijing because in Shanghai there are way too many distractions, clubs, bars, etc. Its a city built for a cool lifestyle, while on the other hand Beijing you would be more likely to get down with the books. One question I can answer for you is where to live while you study. For a small fee you can live with a Chinese family, and learn Chinese the fast track way: http://china.homestaynow.org www.shanghaihomestay.net All the best, Deon Where should I study?

It was a great time, but if you're looking to be completely immersed, it's maybe not the best choice. International Students stay in what is basically a hotel with room service, with one roommate from your own country, separated from the rest of the Chinese students who stay in typical Chinese dorms with 5-7 roommates. It was also a somewhat disorganized program, but I believe they're getting better. The quality of instruction was extremely varied. Sometimes you would get an amazing instructor, and other times you would get one who just really had no business teaching (from an American perspective, anyway.) All that said, I LOVED Xi'an. The history, the night life, the friends, the food, and I can't wait to get back to China! I studied abroad at Xi’an International University last semester.
