<p>hi! i am Chinese student and in high school. if you really want to study in China , i recommend BeiDa. Compared with QingHua, PKU focus more in Humanities and has a more free academic atomosphere. If you want to study engineer, QingHua is great, while i think USA is more suitble than China.<br>
As BlueJayBJ said, you need seriously take his advice because what he said is very true about the situation in China university. </p>
<p>The reason why i want to go aboard is not just for advantages of other country, but also because there exisit some disadvantages in our university.</p>
<p>The university in China is not a place for free thoughts and academic research. Becasue the control of government, the compus operates bureaucracy. Detailedly, the professors status are not important compared with the administrators’. </p>
<p>And if you really interested in Chinese culture, i don’t think China is a good place to go . As a person lived in China, i know that the the pith of tradition and culture derived from thousands years ago is not inherited properly by our people.The reasons are complicated , but you must know that in China latest history there were several reformations, such as WenGe( lasting ten years!), because of that , something has changed. Today’s China can never back to some time that i really dreamed, such as the time in 1919, the May Fourth Movement , and the Confucius time. In these time, people dare to question and come up their thoughts, no matter the thoughts are proper at that time or not. But if you lived in today’s China, don’t say the original and free thoughts, the traditional culture is ruied by modern Chinese relentlessly. Most ordinary citizens are not you expected the persons have deep culture basis and thoughts.<br>
Back to the topic, if you want to study something about China, go to Taiwan, not mainland. the relationship of Taiwan and mainland is always a controversial topic. While to be frank, Taiwan is a more cultural, chinese place. It is not because i stay in mainland so i think other place is better but because Taiwan is trully a place inherited lot from our ancestors. In my class, my Chinese teacher also understand this point. She is a deeply ‘chinese’ person and said her dissapointment about today’s mainland society, especially the people 's attitude towards the culture. For example, the chinese today mainland uses is different from that in Taiwan( and HK,Macao). We use the simplified words.Although the simplified words are more convinent, the language is the most significant part of one’s cultrue and the simplified words are totally cut off the culture and great meaning, now just for the use of convinence. </p>
<p>And the condition in mainland is just the that in Taiwan thirty years ago, experiencing the problems brought by modern society. So mainland is in the transition period, not suitable for you studying and using the great resource.</p>
<p>Be serious when you taking PKU, QingHua etc. those universities in you place to study chinese. you could consider National Taiwan University(many chinese author,schooler have studies there.it is a great university!and aslo the best uni in Taiwan ).</p>
