<p>They are treated the same way, except that there’s better housing for foreigners. There are 16-17 dining halls on campus plus several restaurants where you can invite friends. Classes are big, and foreign students study with Tsinghua students. It’s all up to you to decide the units. For Tsinghua students, the minimum requirement is 13 units. In this situation, the courseload will be no heavier than what you have seen in Purdue. You can choose more courses according to your interest. For foreigners, the minumum is certainly below 13, so you don’t have to worry.</p>
<p>@dtshen: I know this is a late post, but I am also going for a summer abroad to Tsinghua from Purdue. How did you like it there?? and tips or suggestions…Id be grateful. Thanks.</p>
