<description>Hi Zotigrillo,
yes, I have also heard that IUP is the best, it used to be the &quot;Stanford Center&quot; in Taiwan and they do have harsh entry requirements. But, as you say, all of these programs have hefty tuition fees. I therefore had a look at the Chinese university homepages and looked for language programs without an intermediary foreign institution. As it turned out, the fees are much lower if you contact them directly. I was looking mainly for Shanghai universities and almost all of them offer language programs. But i guess the difference lies in the teaching method. At Chinese universities you will be with around 15 other foreigners in one class and the teaching is Chinese style, meaning not much interaction.
have you heard of any prestigous programs in Shanghai?
