<p>@dawncoming: Don’t you think it is interesting and ironic? Are you assuming two adults from America, who may born and bred in States, were brainwashed by CN government’s propaganda? Charter 08? OMG, we are here in a BB about colleges, not a political one.</p>
<p>wow, CUUSers’ here 
It seems that people wanna talk in an downright way here…</p>
<p>may I know ur family name…? li?</p>
<p>lots of CUUSER i guess…so am i ~ hehe</p>
<p>maybe cuase we dont speak chinase</p>
<p>@dawncoming - I don’t think that you can use words like ‘third world’ to describe China when you are just comparing it to a country like the US and have not taken into account the situations of the people in REAL third world countries, like those in Africa. You at least have access to clean sanitation and water, and are not decimated by diseases like HIV/AIDS. Certainly, this can exist areas of any country, even the most powerful and technologically-advanced ones, but what makes THEM ‘third world’ is prevalence. </p>
<p>Sheesh.</p>
<p>Well,i want to go to US because of the great resources. Chinese universities are quite different from universities in US. Get well with them before you decide .</p>

用英语&&&
用中文好吗？</p>
<p>it’s funny to see chinese student dislike the colleges in our country . every education system have two sides. it depends on does it fit you or not. what area are you going to study. and more importantly going to another country to study besides the academic achievement you will also have a lot of experience that you can not have in your own country whether they are pleasant or not. it enrich yourself in another way . i admit student do skip classes very often but chinese students have been baby-sitting thier whole life, we are all college students now, we should be more independent and learn self-control instead of counting on someone else .
and i know some of my friends have their classes teached by English in bei da or qing hua</p>
<p>SEANYU ,then how can the person who posted it understand what are we talking about ? ;p</p>

<p>Would you mind telling me, what is your intention of saying all these? It seems to me that, you are trying to “SAVE” Chinese from China. However, if you are really into “saving” Chinese, why don’t you go to some Chinese websites and type out in Chinese? Don’t tell me you do not know how to phrase your words to pass the censorship, since you already “stayed” in this country for 16 years. (well, I assume you didn’t fail to keep up with the peers) Typing in English and on a non-Chinese website to say negative things about your blood and identity is so stupid and coward. So if you still think yourself as a Chinese, try to do something PRAGMATIC and stop making yourself shameful. If you take yourself as an American, SHUT UP AND BE YOUR AMERICAN, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.</p>
<p>Dear OP,</p>
<p>I believe you should really focus on what YOU are looking for. The school should fit your needs and wants before your parents. </p>
<p>So first, what do you intend on studying in college? If it’s English…then certainly stay in the US lol. If you are interested in business but do not want to attend school in China (I got that vibe from reading your 1st post) then you could consider attending school in England. For example, Penn graduates typically obtain jobs in the US and graduates from England obtain jobs in EU and Asia. So your decision also depends on where you would like to work in the future. Of course your decision doesn’t completely close doors to your future. There are just certain schools which make your transition easier. </p>
<p>You could also look into schools in HK such as HKU and HKUST if you are looking for more English speakers (and internet freedom lol). </p>
<p>There are certain advantages to attending schools in the US since you hold an American passport. You will be able to get financial aid which is not open to internationals. </p>
<p>I hope you consider all of your options carefully. You could always apply to schools in China just to throw your name in.</p>

<p>I would like to say something.
I am a pure Chinese who has never been out of this country. And I live in a small town in the relatively poor Western China.</p>
<p>First that what you doubted her was not quite the case. I do not know if you are fimiliar with the internet block in China. We cannot access YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK or even Google sometimes if you type in some politically sensitive words like “party”, “democracy” or “government” in Chinese. Yes there are actually politically aggressive posts on “Chinese Facebook”, but soon they will be deleted by the internet censor. There is no freedom of speech in China unless you say something unrelated to politics. There is one term during the last decades of Tsing Dynasty: “Never talk about the nation.”</p>
<p>In fact, we do want to change. But we can’t. Think about the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Liu Xiaobo, which is still in jail because he dared say something. There are police trying to trace what you said on the internet(or inter-Chinse net more accurately).</p>
<p>I would like to say that I love this country but I hate its flaws. I dare say if China still remain its current regime, which is “people’s democratic dictatorship”(sounds ironic isnt it?), it is going to undergo a major corruption cuz I believe a country’s economics and politics have tight interconnections.</p>
<p>I choose to study in US not only to receive best education but also to learn something from this highly-developed country. One of my dream is to establish an American liberal art college in China, which seems impossible, at least now.</p>
<p>Wow all these nonsenses…</p>
<p>Just one thing, please respect we Chinese.</p>
<p>RESPECT … I believe that studying in whatever country will bring different kind of benefits</p>
<p>@HLZ, I think you need to talk to people who have been in both US and China to make better decision. If you are ambitious, China is a good place to be. For college, I think it depends on major. For many, they maybe using the same text books as US, and you know English better than local students so it maybe an advantage to you too.</p>
<p>I think the average income number is misleading for such a large population. You go to China wanting to be at the top, not the bottom. One Chinese e-commerce firm total transaction value for 2012 is projected to be more than Amazon and eBay combined. On top of that, they are growing faster.</p>
